Biography

John was born circa 1749 in Goochland County, Virginia.

He was probably about fifteen years of age when his parents moved from Goochland to Albemarle County, Virginia.

On 6 Aug 1771, His father deeded 400 aces of land on the South side of the Rivanna River, where John M. already was living, to his son John Moseley Haden.^[1] On 7 Aug 1777, this part of Albemarle County became Fluvanna County. This same land was later deeded to son John's son George and then Richard Noel bought it when George went to Alabama (according to Mattie Haden).

Marriage records of Albemarle Co are lost between the years 1743 and 1780.

Revolutionary War - in Captain Levi Thompson's Company. Aug 7, 1777 recommended as 1st Lieutenant. Served with Capt. John Napier and William Haden was Ensign (presumably his brother)

COLONIAL AMERICA 1706-1789 CENSUS INDEX [CD-Rom FTM] A John M. Haden listed in Fauquier Co VA in 1779 - his father was still in Fluvanna - this is a curious listing. Is it possible he purchased land in Fauquier but never moved there?

In the 1780's when his parents and several of his siblings moved to Campbell Co, John Mosely Haden remained in Fluvanna Co.

There is said to be a letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Haden having him take three Chickasaw Indians to Richmond to the Governor.  It was signed 28 Nov 1799.  He was to see that they were given protection and hospitality by the citizens they passed on the road to the Governor.  Said to be at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

This John is the only good candidate - his father and nephew, son of the younger Anthony, also named John were both living in Campbell Co at this time. Thomas Jefferson became Vice President in 1796, after losing to John Adams by three electoral votes.

Transcript of letter copy received:

Three Chickasaw Indians having come so far without

any guide interpreter or pass, I have engaged the bearer John

Haden to take charge of them & attend them to Richmond to the Gover-

nor of the state, and they are recommended to the peace, protection
