Father deeded 400 aces of land on the South side of the Rivanna River, where John M. already was living, to his son John Moseley Haden - Albemarle Co Deed Book 5, p.356 - 6 Aug 1771. On 7 Aug 1777, this part of Albemarle Co became Fluvanna Co. This same land was later deeded to son George and then Richard Noel bought it when George went to Alabama according to Mattie Haden.

COLONIAL AMERICA 1706-1789 CENSUS INDEX [CD-Rom FTM] A John M. Haden listed in Fauquier Co VA in 1779 - his father was still in Fluvanna - this is a curious listing. Is it possible he purchased land in Fauquier but never moved there?
In the 1780's when his parents and several of his siblings moved to Campbell Co, John Mosely Haden remained in Fluvanna Co.

There is said to be a letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Haden having him take three Chickasaw Indians to Richmond to the Governor. It was signed 28 Nov 1799. He was to see that they were given protection and hospitality by the citizens they passed on the road to the Governor. Said to be at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
This John is the only good candidate - his father and nephew, son of the younger Anthony, also named John were both living in Campbell Co at this time. Thomas Jefferson became Vice President in 1796, after losing to John Adams by three electoral votes.
Transcript of letter copy received:
Albemarle county
Three Chickasaw Indians having come so far without
any guide interpreter or pass, I have engaged the bearer John
Haden to take charge of them & attend them to Richmond to the Gover-
nor of the state, and they are recommended to the peace, protection
and hospitality of the citizens on the road they pass, should they be
in want of any necessaries, it cannot be doubted but that the Governor
