Sarah I.\J. "Sally" Haden

(Abt 1812 - 27 Apr 1897)



Samuel Haden appointed guardian of Sally Haden "infant child of William Haden, Senior, Dec'd" She was apparently under age 10 in the 1820 census.

Name is no doubt Sarah. Her mother was named Sarah, called Sally. Marriage record shows name as Sarah; all Court Records as Sally.

Logan Co Deed Book P, p.141
"Whereas my son Churchill H. Blakey intermarried with Sally J. Haden who was possessed of certain negroes names Isham, William, Steven, Patsy & Rachel, and whereas by the decease of my said son without issue that title to the before mentioned negroe slaves passed to & became legally vested in me. Nevertheless believing as I do that justice acquires that the negroes aforesaid with all title thereto should be reinvested in said Sally the widow of said Churchill, Decd & from the regard which I entertain for my sd daughter-in-law & Also in consideration & satisfaction of any claim of Dower which she may have in & of the Estate of her Dec'd husband & of One dollar to me in hand paid, I George Blakey of the County of Logan & State of Kentucky do by these presents bargain sell alien & confirm to the said Sally Blakey all my interest & title to the above named negroes & their issue forever to her & her heirs forever against the claim of myself and heirs and of all persons claiming by through or under me but no other person. In Witness whereof I set my hand & seal this 24th day of August 1828. Signed: George Blakey

Court Order of June 1829 "Whereas at the last May Term of this Court Thomas Blakey was appointed guardian to Sally I. Blakey infant orphan of Wm Haden Dec'd now widow of Churchill H. Blakey dec'd and entered who acknowledged bond in the penal Sum of three thousand dollars with Wm Haden his security all of which was omitted to be noticed on the face of the record. It is now ordered that the Same Stand of record." This would also suggest Sally is not yet 21 in 1829, perhaps not even 18.

Sally received Lot #4 in the division of the lands of her father on 3 Aug 1829. 93 acres. Her land bordered that of the Shakers.
