Shortly after his fathers death in 1850, Joseph secured work in Cairo, Illinois. His mother Harriet and his sisters Maria (Buntie) and Clara Given, went with him to Cairo, Illinois, where they lived until the War Between the States.
With Dick Haydock, his cousin, Joseph owned and operated the Ohio River Warehouse at Cairo for years. Then Dick moved to California, Joseph moved back to Kentucky, and his mother and sisters moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Joseph became the book keeper at the railway station. Joseph later moved to Bloomfield, Missouri. He had the Haydock family bible which contained records of the Gideon A. Haydock family. It was destroyed in a fire sometime before 1912.
Joseph appears to have been listed as a Female in the 1850 Census. This must have been a clerical error. |
