Individual Details

Some of the older Haden information has this man as "Achillles Banks Haden". Sometimes seen as "Willis", possibly a nickname, or a misreading of his name. The following legal case lists him as "Achilles M. Haden" as does the 1830 census.

1830 Census. Campbell Co VA
Achilles M. Haden. 1m age 30-40.

Petition in Chancery, Lynchburg District, filed 20 Apr 1829. Ended Jun 1848 - partially granted.
28 Feb 1828, John D. Urquhart mortgaged a slave named George to Achilles M. Haden to secure a debt of $279. When Urquhart failed to pay, Haden's brother and agent seized the slave [his brother was Richard G. Haden, involved in several petitions in this time period as a "slave trader"]. Urquhart had also mortgaged the slave and his law library to James Bullock to secure a debt. Haden asks for a decree for the sale of George to pay the debt.
