Individual Details

Came to Springfield along with his father circa 1835; he also worked in the Land Office until 1841. He was the second clerk of the Land Office - his father was the first. Bought a farm near what is now Galloway where he had 1000 acres at one time.

Before I found this note, I had wondered if he was an attorney because he was named as security in so many court records.

1850 Census, Greene County MO farmer in Campbell Twp.
Charles A. Haden, age 38. Louisa A., age 28.
Martha H. age 8. Judith M. age 6. Gabrella S. age 4. Joel H. age 2
John S. Cooper, age 10 [nephew]
Note: Certainly Charles's sister who married a Cooper left three orphans - Martha, Joel, & James - who are listed both with Charles' brother and his father in this census. By 1868, a division of property of Charles' father only names the same three Coopers. However, Joel H. Haden's will dated November of 1860 names Martha who had married a Pollard, Joel H., John S., and James H. Why John lived separately from his siblings is unknown.

Charles said to the the 6th wealthiest man in Greene County by 1856 with most of his investment in land and slaves. He owned three town lots in Springfield.

Charles was not shown with any slaves in 1850, but he owned 8 in 1860.

I had at first assumed he was deceased when a guardian was named for the minor heirs of Louisiana Weaver Haden, but I think that was to get their inheritance from her father. Charles was in the 1860 Census after Louisiana died.

One of the most active and useful men who lived in the county was Charles Anthony Haden, son of Joel Haden, about whom we talked at our last dinner. He was born in Kentucky in 1812 and died in 1905. He came to Springfield in 1836, when the land office was opened and was the first clerk. He married a daughter of Maj. Joseph Weaver, who bore him eight children. She died in 1859 and although Mr. Haden liver forty-six years [more] he never thought of marrying again. He was a strong, vigorous man up to within three years of his death, riding horseback from the farm he settled on when he first married, six miles south of town. he was one of the firm of Haden, Hancock & Co. and Haden, Jones & Co., large stock dealers, also was one of the largest stockholders and organizers of the large tobacco factory operated here prior to 1860 under the name of Caynor, Henslee & Co. His oldest daughter married Judge John Yount Fulbright and they are today the oldest living couple who were born and married in Greene county and now living here.

Col. Charles A. Haden. This gentleman is the son of Joel H. and Martha (Smith) Haden, and was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, May 9, 1813. His mother was a native of that State and his father of Virginia. His grandfather was a captain in the Revolutionary War. His father, the Rev. Joel Haden, was a Christian minister and organized nearly all the older churches of that denomination in Southwest Missouri. In 1824 he moved to Howard County, Missouri and in 1835 he and his son Charles came to Springfield, where he was appointed register of the land office which position he held several years, and also carried on the work of organization of Christian churches. He returned to Howard County, where he died in 1862. Charles worked here in his father's office until 1841, when he removed to the farm upon which he now resides, where he has been farming and dealing extensively in stock. He now owns a fine farm of five hundred acres, besides giving to his children some three hundred. Mr. Haden is one of the pioneers of Greene County, and was a colonel of militia in the early days of the county. He has been a member of the Christian church since a young man, and a Mason since 1842. He was married May 6, 1841, to Miss Louisiana, daughter of Major Joseph and Judith Weaver. Their union was blest with eight children, six living: Martha H., Judith M., Gabrella S., Joel H., John S. and Mollie E. Mrs. Haden died August 18, 1859. Her parents were among the earliest settlers in Greene County, and her father was a soldier in the War of 1812.
