Individual Details

There has been a tradition of a second son for Joseph & Ellen. Sandra Boucher listed a possible name for this second child: John Haden, born 10 Dec 1816, Logan County KY, died 20 Jan 1892 Logan County, buried Red River Cemetery. Married Nancy C. Neel (b. 17 Mar 1816; d. 20 Nov 1901) Jan 1859. This is more likely a member of the Hadden family that also lived in Logan Co, especially since they lived on the Red River.

Then I found "Ranney B. Haden" in Muhlenberg Co Ky Cemetery. There was a Ranney Breathitt back in Maryland, possible uncle to Ellen Thomas Haden; he had no issue and Ellen could have named her son for a beloved uncle. I believe this Ranney is the mysterious 2nd son. 26 Mar 1834: Renny Haden was a witness to the will of Elizabeth Whitsett Breathitt, widow of William Breathitt in Logan Co. Found in the 1850 Muhlenburg Co Census living with George and Ellen - Ranney, age 34, a carpenter. Deeds from Logan Co prove without doubt that this is the younger brother of George W. Haden.
