In 1850, William appeared to be still living at home with his parents. I have not found him in 1860.

Roberts who died in the Civil War, married to Mariah Foy. Alfred was son of James Leitch or Leith Roberts and wife Adaline H. Darby.
Others listed: Sampson B. Cloud, Amos G. Tuttle, Robert J. Swearingen, Augustus H. Darby, William Haden, R. F. Ligon, J. B. Patterson, Jeremiah T. Cloud, Stephen C. Hamilton & James Monroe Nicholson.

This man is the ancestor of Clovis Roland Haden who is a close DNA match to my son.


It appears that two William A. Hadens married Adelines:
William A. Haden Marriage:
Spouse: Adaline Farrell
Marriage Date: Feb 25, 1857
County: Shelby

1860 Census. Shelby Co AL Hh 187

This William A Haden is possibly the same as the 21-year-old William A., born in Tennessee and in the household of James N. Headen in Benton Co AL in 1850. James N. Headen was born in Massachusetts and was a gin maker; he was age 48, his wife Martha age 38. William A. was the eldest child in the household - there were eight others. the four oldest all born in Tennessee.
