COLONIAL AMERICA 1706-1789 CENSUS INDEX [CD-Rom FTM] A John M. Haden listed in Fauquier Co VA in 1779 - his father was still in Fluvanna - this is a curious listing. Is it possible he purchased land in Fauquier but never moved there?
In the 1780's when his parents and several of his siblings moved to Campbell Co, John Mosely Haden remained in Fluvanna Co.

There is said to be a letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Haden having him take three Chickasaw Indians to Richmond to the Governor. It was signed 28 Nov 1799. He was to see that they were given protection and hospitality by the citizens they passed on the road to the Governor. Said to be at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
