- HISTORY OF THOMAS AND ELIZABETH HAIGH FAMILY
by Ruby Noble-Dunton
Thomas Haigh was born and raised in or near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, I believe. He came to America about 1840 or 1842. He married Elizabeth Marshall Hinchliffe in English Settlement, between Burlington, Wisconsin and Rochester, Wisconsin in Racine County. He had a brother or brothers, but I can't remember his or their names.
Thomas Haigh had a previous marriage whose sons were Sam and Dan Haigh.
My mother, Annie Haigh, is the daughter of his second marriage. She married Joseph Henry Noble. The other two daughters of the second marriage were Addie Haigh, who married Jesse Clark, and Bertha Haigh, who never married. She is buried in the English Settlement. I'm quite sure Thomas Haigh is also buried there and perhaps his brothers.
The name of Thomas Haigh is in the assessor's books which also lists his wife and children, and gives his birth place as England.
These assessor's books are in the Archives Building in Washington, D.C.
When I visited Huddersfield, England, in 1961, there were Haigh's in teh telephone directory. A large sign on a building was "Haigh Textile Mfg." There wasn't time to investigate them.
The Huddersfield Choral Society as celebrating its 125th Anniversary in 1961. There were Haigh's who sang in it from the start, and Haigh's were listed as members throughout the years.
