Individual Details

He is also seen with the middle initial A, but he himself signed a deed concerning his sister's estate as W. H. Haden.

The estate papers of William's father indicate that by 1849, he was of age. Only James was still a minor.

Marriage: Wm. H. Haden to Mary A. McCrary Sep 12, 1854. Both of Davidson Co. It appears that both William and his brother Benjamin married into the McCrary family. This date seems to have been transcribed wrong - by September of 1853, Mary McCrary Haden had died. She obviously did not marry in 1854.

There are estate papers in the Davidson Co NC files for Mary Haden, dated from 1853 through 1856. It is obvious that her heirs are her siblings and her nieces and nephews, children of deceased siblings - she died without a will. A tract of land of 157 acres on Potts Creek was petitioned for division, but apparently was sold. The neighbors are the same as associates of Jesse Haden, but McCrarys were also listed as neighbors of Jesse's in several deeds. This may be land Mary inherited from her father. The only file for William H. Haden was dated as 1857, but the actual papers in the file were for another William who had died in 1846. The single paper mentions S. W. McCrary as Administrator, Aug Term 1857 and includes payments to Grandison Roberts [brother-in-law of Mary McCrary], S. W. McCrary [Mary's brother], James W. Haden [another brother-in-law] and B. F. Haden. [William H. Haden's brother]. It was not clear when this man had died or whether or not he had out lived Mary.
