Individual Details

Elizabeth Haden

(3 Feb 1764 - )



Irene Cook gave "Elizabeth" as born about 1769. I think it likely there was a daughter Ann and a daughter Elizabeth and both were born prior to this date.

Douglas Register, Goochland Co VA: "Joseph Haden & Elizabeth Handley, a Daughter named Elizabeth born Feb 3, 1764. Baptized Apr 22 1764
The marriage of Joseph and Elizabeth is also given as an "implied marriage" taken from the Register - using the above child's birth. There is no actual date known for the marriage of Joseph & Elizabeth but this date has been used.

I believe Elizabeth died as a child.

An Anney Haden witnessed a deed of Joseph Haden's in November of 1777. A person had to be age 14 to witness, or born before 1763. Ann Wyatt is named as a daughter in the Will of Joseph Haden in 1802 and there is no Elizabeth. There was no record in Goochland of births of Joseph's children except for Elizabeth and Judith. There is no Elizabeth named in the will. I suspect they are two different daughters that have been forced to "fit" and Ann was older, closer in age to Sarah who married Richmond Pearson. Elizabeth is seen as married to Francis Wyatt, but I believe that was Ann instead.

Some Wyatt researchers have suggested that Francis married both a Nancy/Ann Haden and an Elizabeth Haden. But they have also picked up a marriage of a Francis Wyatt to a Fanny Austin in Caroline Co in 1799 and that is an entirely different man.
