Individual Details

[Speculation - Is this a daughter of William Haden Jr? William Haden signed bond for James W. Blakey when he was attempting to settle the estate of John Perkins. I have found no other unattached Nancy & there were two girls, only one of which has been identified - Margaret, in the 1820 Census in the family of this William Haden. The other girl was age 10-16. If Nancy were the daughter of William and Pamela Blakey, she would be James W. Blakey's niece! However,there are two earlier marriages in Logan County for a William Haden - one to Betsey Hughs Jul 27 1805 and one to Polly Barnett Jun 4 1805. The Barnetts apparently lived near the Hadens; the Hughs family lived on the other side of the county near the Hadden families. If indeed William had an earlier marriage, Nancy could have been a daughter from that marriage to Polly Barnett - that would make a marriage to James W. more plausible and make Nancy slightly older, both of which work out very nicely.] There really is no other place for Nancy.


The Blakey book gives her year of birth as 1807; census records indicate it was probably between 1804-1808

That Mary, or Polly, was a Barnett married to William Haden is also indicated by the following deed. It's likely Mary, daughter of Thomas had already died, when Thomas made the gift to his granddaughter.
