Individual Details

Thomas is sometimes listed as a son of Anthony Haden/Margaret Douglas born before they came from England. Omitted from "John Haden of Virginia" book - he is obviously of a different family. Y-DNA of descendants from Thomas and from Anthony Haden have proved conclusively these families have no relationship.
