Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.

Pension Notes
10 Jul 1834, Mr. Haddox gave pension statement
Several letters from the Commissioner of Pensions in 1861 and 1862 indicate that Haddox was dropped from the pension roll on 10 Mar 1835 “on the ground that the pension was obtained by fraud. No effort was made during the life time of Haddox to be restored, and the inference from his silence is that he acquiesced in the justice of the decision of the office.”
