Individual Details
Susanna Haden
(1771 - )
This daughter is not listed in all references. Mattie Haden believed she was a daughter of John Moseley Haden that died young. She also suspected there were other sons of John Moseley Haden, possibly an Anthony and a Joseph. Mattie believed Susanna & John had a son named Benjamin Haden Jones.
No records indicate any sons Anthony or Joseph, but Susanna's marriage record lists her parents as John and Ann "Hayden".. She appears to have had only the one child.
There was a Benjamin H. Jones living in the Eastern District of Amherst Co in 1850. He was age 56 born 1794. His wife was Elizabeth age 57. Living with them was David W., age 27, a carpenter, and Elizabeth A. age 22. Correspondence with a descendant of this family, indicates this Benjamin H. is Susanna & John Jones's son.
In 1860, he was still in Amherst, Hh 1039.
Ben H. Jones, 66, farmer
Jane J, 45 (a second wife)
Jas O., 6
Nancy, 9
There were apparently other men named Benjamin Haden Jones....
I have found an interesting story online concerning a Civil War hero who was named Zachariah Fleming Jones. The article mentioned his father Benjamin Haden Jones, living in Scottsville, Albemarle Co VA. One of the censuses revealed Hadens living in Fluvanna Co, but the nearest P.O. was Scottsville. Zachariah served in Mosby's Rangers during the Civil War. He enlisted in 1864 at the age of 17. - so he was born 1843. This would seem to be quite late to have been a son of Benjamin Haden Jones, son of John & Susanna who would likely have been born soon after their marriage in 1793. Instead, Zachariah was a grandson of John & Susanna, a son of their son also named Benjamin Haden Jones Jr.
In 1860, in Albemarle Co VA, Charlottesville P.O., St. Anne's Parish, I found:
Benjamin H. Jones, age 35 [born 1825], miller. Wife, Mary W. age 37
Z. F. Jones age 13 - he would be 17 in 1864.
B. H. Jones, age 11. Mary E. Jones age 8. Martha J. P. Jones age 4. Martha Tillman age 60. James A. Tillman, age 24, miller.
Strangely enough in 1860, there was still another, Benjamin H. Jones in the same area who was age 40 (b. about 1820), a carpenter. His family was made up of Marian R. age 7, Sally R. age 2, Bettie H. 9 months, and Betty, age 23. Although there a Benjamin Haden Jones, III, he was not born until 1849 and certainly not married with children in 1860.
1870, Still in St. Anne's Parish but listed as Scottsville P.O.
B. H. Jones, age 45, miller. Mary. age 48
Z. F. age 23, farmer. B. H. age 20, miller. M. E., female, age 18. M. J. P., female, age 13.
L. R. Robins, male, age 24, school teacher.
1880, Sam Miller Twp, Albemarle - the mystery Benjamin.
Benjm. Jones, age 53, carpenter. Betty, age 35.
Sallie age 12. Irene H. age 3. Fannie E. age 6.
Neither of the above Benjamins appeared to be in Albemarle Co in 1850.
I did find in Fluvanna Co., a Basil M. Jones who had a son Benjamin H. Jones, age 32 [born ca 1818]. Benjamin was a storekeeper. Since the B. H. Jones, carpenter, had no children in 1850, this could be him.
No other likely candidates appear in 1850.
