Emilia was responsible for some of the erroneous material about the Haden family. She left a letter and a four-page paper about the family history. In both of these she stated that her grandfather Benjamin Haden was a son of John Haden & Margaret Douglas, a descendant of Lord Douglas of Scotland. Emilia was wrong in that John Haden's wife was Jean Mosley - his mother was Margaret, probably Margaret Douglas but probably not a descendant of any Lord Douglas. Dorothy K. Haden placed an article in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume 52, Number 2, June 1964, which fully describes the writings of Emilia as well as the records which disprove the conclusion that John Haden's wife was Margaret Douglas.
