Individual Details

There is on Ancestry.com, the SAR applications ...The application of Matthew H. Crawford, #38585 is for Capt Anthony Haden/Hayden, submitted in 1924. The only problem is that it is based on this Anthony's grandfather who was already deceased by the time of the Revolution. I don't know that SAR has ever corrected this error, because I believe others have joined on this line. Since Mathew H. Crawford was also a descendant of this Anthony, who indeed served as a Captain in the Revolution, I suppose it is a moot point since he was a descendant of a Revolutionary soldier. He also cited the service of an Anthony Haden from Hanover Co - he was an Anthony D. Haden who later lived in Pittsylvania Co, VA and whose relationship to this family has not been proved. So this application confuses two Anthony Hadens of two different generations AND two unrelated Anthony Hadens who served from two different places in Virginia.

This family was in Goochland County and then Albemarle County (which became Fluvanna County) and then Campbell County. Late in life Anthony moved to Christian County, KY. Anthony had a total of eleven children by the three wives.

Will of Joseph Hopkins, Jr., Son of Joseph Hopkins, the Emigrant
I, Joseph Hopkins, Jr., of the County of Louisa, having at heart the
uncertainty of this life, am now of sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding, do make this to be my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say: First, I give and bequeath to my beloved son, Lund Hopkins, all my tract of land lying and being in the aforesaid County, consisting of four hundred acres, with all its appertunances thereunto belonging; and I likewise give and bequeath to my daughter, Susannah Hopkins, one negro girl named Violett, to her and her increase forever, provided she lives to marry and have a true begotten heir, if not the above legacy to be equally divided amongst the surviving brothers and sisters; and I likewise give and bequeath to my son, Joseph Hopkins, one negro boy named George, to him and his heirs lawfully begotten forever, provided he lives to arrive to the age of twenty-one years,
if not the above legacy to be equally divided amongst the surviving brothers and
sisters; and I likewise give and bequeath to my daughter, Elizabeth Hopkins, one negro man named Darby, to her and her true begotten heirs forever, provided she lives to have such, if not the above legacy to be equally divided amongst the surviving brothers and sisters; and likewise give and bequeath to my daughter, Sarah Hopkins, one negro boy named Boston, to her and her true begotten heirs, provided she lives to have such, if not the above legacy to be sold and equally divided amongst the surviving brothers and sisters; and as my beloved is now pregnant with child, and it is the Lord's will that it should come into life and arrive to age, I give and bequeath to it, all and every part of my moveable estate, whatsoever and wherever, provided it lives, if not the above legacy to

desire is that as long as my beloved wife choses after my death to live single, that she may have a true right to the above legacies and give up to the above legatees the legacies so given by me as she pleases and when she pleases. But if she should see cause to marry, my desire is that the aforesaid legatees shall enjoy their right when they arrive to age, that is, men to twenty-one years and the women to eighteen years, and my desire is that all my just debts should be paid out of the monies I may have at the time of my death, or, otherwise, at the discretion of my Executors hereinafter mentioned.
And, lastly, I do appoint, nominate and constitute my esteemed and loving

Anthony Haden, Roger Thomason, Thomas Rountree

Note: A lawsuit was brought in Louisa Co by Lund Hopkins of Powhatan Co against Robert Yancey, Deputy Sheriff, and Richard Faris, who had bought his mother's dower land went to the Supreme Court of Appeals in Virginia and was heard on 18 Oct 1810. Lund Hopkins' mother remarried, had her dower laid off, sold it, and moved away by 1785. She and her second husband, Samuel Beaver, sold the dower land to Richard Faris. The entire tract was on the tax rolls in her name and the Deputy Sheriff purchased 200 acres of it for back taxes [about 40£]. Yancey later sold it to Faris for about the same amount. Anthony Haden was supposedly notified, as the administrator of the estate of Joseph Hopkins soon after the sale but he had no assets of the estate. There was personal property on the land that could have been sold for the back taxes. The Court of Chancery had decided the sale void and decreed title be returned to Lund. That decision was upheld.

I have examined the papers transmitted for the service of Anthony Haden under the Act 7 Jun 1832. There is no law under which grandchildren are entitled to a pension but may be payable to a child or children.

20 May 1930 Letter from E. W. Morgan, Acting Commissioner, to Honorable William L. Nelson, House of Representatives, Washington DC
Response to his letter of 15 May 1930. [Gives the dates and relationships as outlined in the testimony] "The application of Joel H. Haden was not mentioned, as the only form of rejection in the claim stated that grandchildren were not entitled, only a child or children, & Joel made no further effort to claim pension & as neither the soldier or his wife ever applied, the real rejection should have been on that bases, so there seems to be no other way to handle it at this late date."
