Individual Details

Irene Cook from Sandra Boucher: Born 10 Jan 1777, probably Goochland.

"John Haden of Virginia" book quotes the Blakey article stating that Joseph Haden's wife was a Miss Breathitt of Maryland. They settled Hadensville in Todd Co. KY according to Blakey (see next paragraph - this seems to have been Hadesberg in Christian Co - Todd County not formed until 1820 but the town apparently fell within the bounds of that county). Never have found a record of such marriage although some of the Breathitts lived in Logan County - the marriage record was found as Joseph "Hadin" to Nelly Thomas . Eleanor Thomas - also called Nelly & Ellen - was a Breathitt granddaughter. Their son George was born on a visit to Maryland and brought back to Kentucky at six months of age according to "History of Kentucky" by Battles,etc. - this source also names her as Ellen Thomas.

Tree Builders, published by the Christian County, Kentucky, Genelogial Society, has the "Petition of Joseph Haden to create town of Hadensberg, September 1817", in Christian County, including a map and plan - Winter Issue, 2010. iIt contained 8 sqaure acres surrounding the crossing of the road from Russellville to Clarksville, and from Hopkinsville to Galatin. There were 16 half-acre lots. Trustees appointed were John Cross, James Allen, William Parha, Henry Gorin, Robert Hagood, William Terry, and Elijah Hayden. Joseph Haden acknowledged bond in the amount of 1000 #'s with Henry Gorin and James Breathitt his securties. [County Court Order Book C, p.231] Apparently there was a name change - the survey of the plat dated 4 sept 1817, calls the town Hadensburgh.
Kentucky Genealgy website (https://kentuckygenealogy.org/todd/hadensville_todd_county_kentucky.htm) states that Old Hadensville stood about one mile from the present village of that name. As early as about 1815, Elijah Haden had settled on this farm, it being a crossing of two public roads.

Joseph Haden is in the 1820 census in the newly formed Todd County. He is mentioned throughout Logan Co Court Orders 1820-1823 while father's estate is being settled.

"History of Kentucky" article says Joseph died right after going back to Maryland which is possible. However, he obviously still owned property in Logan County KY.

children of Joseph: George and Rainy
[This deed leaving no doubt that the younger son of Joseph was Rainy/Ranney - a name only likely if his mother was indeed a Breathitt whose background is in Maryland - name usually found there as Breathed. I have not seen this name occur in any other Logan Co family.]
