Charles Bricket Haddock was born on June 20, 1796 in Franklin, New Hampshire. (His mother was a sister of Daniel Webster). He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1816 and from Andover Seminary in 1819. He returned to Dartmouth, where he was professor of rhetoric and belles lettres from 1819 until 1838, when he became professor of intellectual philosophy and political economy until 1854.

Haddock made anniversary orations, lectures, reports for fifteen years on education, sermons, and wrote on agriculture and rhetoric. He published a volume of addresses and other writings, including occasional sermons, in 1846, and was a contributor to the Bibliotheca Sacra, Biblical Repertory, and other periodicals.
