Individual Details

Richard is a provisional son in this family. There seems to be no other place for him and Robert shows a male age 5-10 in the 1830 census in Madison Co AL, that is otherwise unidentified.

A query in an old publication stated he died in Jacksonport, Arkansas, 1856 and that his father was Robert, from Goochland.

Tax Records of Lowndes County, Mississippi, 1833-1840; Logan & Webb, 1992
William M. Haden and his brother Robert Douglas Haden appear on these tax lists. Their father may also be list as R. D. Haden, but there is nothing to indicate both father and son were present there at the same. Also listed in 1835 was a Rich'd Haden, he was listed without land, suggesting he had paid only his own poll.
