George Haden

(Abt 1784 - 1829)



George first appears as an additional male over 21 in the household of John Moseley Haden in 1805 and is eliminated after 1807 when George married Sallie Hughes.

1810 Census: Fluvanna Co VA,
George Haden. 1m -10, 1m 26-45; 1f 16-26. There also appears to be a single mark in the column for males over age 45, but it's smudged as though the enumerator tried to erase it - there's an error in the name immediately following as well.

1820 Census. Fluvanna Co VA, Columbia along with his father John M.
George Haden: 2m -10 [William George & John Tate] 1m 10-16 [Anthony], 1m 26-45 [George]
3f under 10 [Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary], 1f 10-16 [???], 1f 26-45 [Sallie]

Sallie and then George died soon after going to Alabama and left 8 orphaned children.
