   ELISHA HASKETT, a farmer and one of the pioneers of Tipton County, is a
native of North Carolina. He grew to manhood in his native State, when he
emigrated to Tipton County in 1848, where he entered upon the career of a
farmer. When our subject located in this county, the present thriving town of
Tipton contained but about one dozen houses, only one of which was a frame, the
rest being the typical cabin of the frontier. Mr. Haskett at the present time
owns nine valuable lots and eight houses in the town of Tipton. His public
services have been many and various. He has assisted in laying out many roads
and ditches in the county. He votes the Democratic ticket. He has been married

Martha Ann Wallace, who died in 1852. His second marriage took place in 1854, to
Delphina C. Davis, who departed this life in 1862. He was married the third
time, in 1865, to Charlotte Cordell, and after her demise he was married in the
