Individual Details

Joseph is mentioned following Ann Wyatt and before Ritta in his father's will - I suspect he may be a few years older than born in 1765.

The marriage date for Joseph & Jenny was found in a court suit in 1807.
I also found it in the book of Rowan marriages by Holcomb: Joseph Hadeon to Jenny Headon, 8 Jan 1783; Richd. Pearson, bondsman; William Crawford, wit.

Some of the following could be entries of Joseph's father; however, some of this Joseph's land descriptions do contain the names Andrews and Turner, and certainly by 1796 this Joseph had considerably holdings along Swearing Creek of the Yadkin.

Joseph Haden has two estate files. One is in Rowan Co, NC - LDS Microfilm #1498464 - filed as Joseph Haden, 1804, but actually had only one document relating to his father; the remainder of the file was in reference to this Joseph who died in 1820. The other file is found in Davidson Co - LDS Microfilm #1888288 - and is Joseph Haden, 1822; Davidson was formed out of Rowan in that year.
A document dated January 21, 1821 presented to the May Term of court in Lexington, Rowan Co is the Inventory and sale accounting. Signed by Samuel Wilson and George Smith, Extrs.

Interesting items in the Inventory included a wagon, 256 bushels of corn, 1051 #'s of tobacco, 11,592 #'s cotton, shot gun, watch, 9 sheep, 11 geese, 39 head of hogs, saddle, books. No cattle, horses, or slaves were included in this list. Total proceeds from the sale was $799.44 3/4. There is list of Notes owed the estate [includes Henry Smith, John McGlennie, Peter Smith Jr, Willm Haden, among others], cash on hand etc. with the total amount of the estate being $1505.40.

Guardianship bonds were included - One each for George, Willie, & Alexander Haden. Henry Ratz - spelled as Ratts in the bond, but as Ratz in his own signature - became their guardian. All bonds were dated 16 Feb 1821; Jacob Lopp and Godfrey Ratz were security. Willie's name was spelled as "Willie" in the guardianship bond, but as "Wiley" in the two accounts I copied.

On 17 Mar 1821, Henry Ratz made a return of the sale of the property for the heirs of Joseph Haden dec'd. Sold for George was a colt, a cow and calf, hire of Negro boy Job, plus rent on five fields and one meadow. Sold for Wiley Haden was a colt, a cow and calf, hire of boy Frank, and one little Negro girl for her vittles and clothes. Sold for Alexander was one mare, one cow and calf, and hire of boy Ned.Return was signed 21 May 1821.

Another document filed as "A list of the Renting and hiring of the property of George Haden, Wiley Haden, and Alexander Haden on February 16, 1822 on a Credit of twelve Months. Likewise a return of the Money Come due on Same day for soil renting and hiring of last year. The list was filed on 18 Feb 1822, signed by Hen. Ratz

I only made copies of selective documents.
There were numerous "Refunding Bonds" signed by the heirs as they received payments. These are most interesting in that they bear the original signatures of all involved.
Thomas Durham with William Haden as his security, bond for $500 on 19 Oct 1822. He had received of George Smith & Samuel Wilson, executors of the last will and testament of Joseph Haden deceased, one Negro girl named Liza and her child named Mariah willed to the heirs of the body of Sally Durham. This is all that their guardian [Thomas Durham] is entitled to receive at this time. If their are at any time hereafter debts against the estate of the deceased, Thomas Durham shall well and truly pay and satisfy his proportionable part. Signed Thos. Durham, Wm Haden. Test: Henry McGuire
Henry Ratz with John Smith, security, signed a bond on 31 Jan 1823 as guardian of George, Wiley & Alexander Haden. He had received for them $357.55 in full of their legacy now due. with the same assurance to repay. Signed: Hen. Ratz, John Smith. Attest: Wm. Haden.
Joseph Haden with William Haden as security signed a Refunding Bond for $500 on 31 Jan 1823. He had received from George Smith & Smauel Wilson $116.85 due from his father's estate. Signed: Joseph Haden, Wm. Haden. Test: Henry McGuire
Thomas Durham Junr of the State of Tennessee, Warren Co, and Joseph Haden of Smith County of state aforesaid, with William Haden of Davidson Co as their security acknowledge receipt of $557.00 on 11 Jun 1823 [It would seem that both had recently moved to Tennessee] Thomas Durham Junr was guardian of the heirs of the body of his late wife Sarah Durham, now deceased, daughter of Joseph Haden Dec'd, namely Joseph H. Durham, Asinath Durham, and Thomas A Durham for which he has given security in Warren Co, TN. He received the full legacy due amounting to $276.72 1/2. Signed: Thos. Durham, Joseph Haden, Wm. Haden. Attest: William Owen, Spruce Wilson
There is an error on the back of the Bond - its says "Re estate of Joseph Haden & Sarah Haden, his wife, both dec'd. 1823" Of course the bond states clearly that Sarah Haden Durham was the daughter of Joseph, not his wife.
Joseph Haden with George Haden as his security [Apparently George now of age] signed a bond on 11 Jun 1823. Joseph was in receipt of $159.90 1/2, which was his part due from the sale of four Negroes on 10 June 1823. Signed: Joseph Haden, George Haden Test: Spruce Wilson, William Owen
William Haden, Peter W. Smith as security signed a bond on 31 Janu 1823. William Haden had received 116.85. part of his said legacy. Signed: Wm Haden, P. W. Smith. Witness: Hen: Ratz
John McGlemery by his agent Mathew M. Hughes with Thos. Dugless as security signed bond on 13 Jan 1825. John McGleming by his agent had received of George Smith & Samuel Wilson $162.48 being John McGlemings full and districutive share of the Joseph Haden estate. Signed: John Macglimre by his agent Mathew M. Hughes, Thos. Dugless. Attest: Lon Hunt as to Hughes, Wm Haden as to Dugless. [and yes there are three different spellings of John's surname]
Peter W. Smith with security William Haden signed a bond on 31 Jan 1823 whereby Peter W. Smith had received $16 which is in full of that part of his legacy due. Signed: P. W. Smith, Wm Haden. Test. Hen: Ratz

There may have been other bonds missed. I didn't find one for Fredric Miller, husband of Mary "Polly" Haden. Also there wasn't one for Samuel Wilson, husband of Lucy Haden, but he was one of the Executors.

Document filed June 1824 states that it is a "Settlement of Joseph Haden Estate"
George Smith and Samuel Wilson presented their report as of 6 Mar 1824. The estate had received for the hire of four Negroes from 15 March [1822] until the 10th of Jun 1823 - $30.88 - and from the sale of Negroes on 13 Jun 1823, a total of $1509.75. The estate had earned interest on notes and judgments. There were vouchers of amounts paid - Godfrey Ratz and George Haden both received small amounts from the estate and there was a 5% commission allowed the Executors. Isaac Kinney & William W. Wiseman, two of the acting justices of the peace of Davidson Co were commissioners to settle the estate and did audit the above figures on 6 Mar 1824.

There is a list of the sales of property belonging to the Estate of Joseph Haden as sold by George Smith, Executor, on a credit of 12 months. The same was willed to his widow during her natural life, she is therefore entitled to the interest of said money. Dated 21 Oct 1829. This was a sale of farm tools, a horse, several head of cattle and hogs. Total was $132.52 3/4
An additional account of sales of the property belonging to the Estate of Joseph Haden was sold by George Smith, surviving executor [obviously Samuel Wilson has died - he was not mentioned in the sale in 1829 either] - credit of 12 months & subject as the property of the first sale [apparently refers to the interest going to the widow, but the sale of furniture, spinning wheel, etc. made me wonder if she had now died]. Dated 18 oct 1837. The total from this sale was $33.56. It was filed 7 Feb 1838.
The amounts from these two sales were included in the report of John M. Smith to follow.

Another document titled "Settlement of the Estate of Joseph Haden Senr, Decd" had two dates - one was Feb. 1838, another Feby. 1845. John M. Smith, Execr.
There is an Account of Sales of the estate of Joseph Haden, Nov. 1844. This document has a lot of bleed through from the back and is very difficult to read, but it was important enough to try:
Inventory of the Sale of Joseph Haden dec'd. Negroes being advertised according to Law to be sold on the 21st October 1844. His Executors being dead & Mgr. George Smith leving [sic]. His Executor proceed to sell the following negroes the above day.

Jno. M. Smith, Exr.
The other document stated "John M. Smith, Executor of George Smith died, who was Executor of the last will and testament of Joseph Haden sen dec'd, The accounts with the legatees under Joseph Haden sen Will.
