It would seem that William was a deputy sheriff, and sheriff, during the Civil War. There is a file in the Confederate Papers Relating to Citizens or Business Firms, 1861-65, NARA M346. Known as the "Citizens File," digital images on Fold3.com that consists of a number of payments to Wm. H. Haden, deputy sheriff, for the arrest of several deserters from the Confederate Army. He was paid $30 for each arrest.
One of the deserters was Jesse Robinson of Co. A, 44th VA Regt. Another was Wm. O. Davis, Co. K, 44th VA Regt.

Wm H. Haden, born Jul 1835, age 64.
He appears to living next door to a Haden couple I cannot identify:
....John S. [the name and relationship is written over - the relationship looks more like "Kid" or "Bid" than anything else] This John was born Dec 1868 and is 31 years old, a merchant - that could be the age of the youngest son, called Benjamin in previous censuses. John's wife's name seems to be spelled "Lysle" and she was born Aug 1876, age 23. They had been married for two years.
