Posted on <SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY-L at rootsweb.com> by Sandi Gorin, 3 Apr 2003:

James Haden entered land in Logan Co KY on 29 Sep 1799.

Posted 29 Jan 2004: From Logan Co Order Book 1, 9 May 1797 Deed from Benjamin Shepherd to William Blakey sworn to by oath of James Haden.

Only James and his father William are listed in Logan Co on the 1800 tax lists. I believe he was probably the only son old enough to declare that year.

Court Order Book 2, Logan County KY LDS Microfilm #0364561

p.27 20 July 1801

"Ordered that James Haden, Thomas Proctor, Hugh McCutcheon, & Zachariah Cross be appointed to view and mark out a road the nearest and best way from Logan Courthouse to the County Line of the most direct way to the Warren Courthouse."

p.108 21 July 1801

"Satisfactory proof having been made to the court that a certificate granted by the late commissioners to James Haden also for 200 acres of land, that 100 acres of it entered as appropriated land and ordered to be certified." Note in margin: James Haden to pay.

p.195 18 Jan 1802

"James Haden enters 200 acres of land in Logan County on the waters of the Gaspar River beginning on two hickorys and running as the Law directs for quantity."

A James Hadden was counted in Logan Co KY in 1810 with a peculiar household:

2m -10, 1m 10-16, 2m 16-26, 4m 26-45. 1f -10, 1f 10-16, 2f 26-45, 1f +45

He could actually be James Haden with a blended household. Perhaps some of his siblings or Rebecca's living with them.
