Haden who died intestate [there was no will] prior to the death of his father in 1819, as noted in the estate settlement of his father, William Haden.

There were two sons - John M. and William Franklin, the latter possibly born a few months after his father's death. After John died, the widow Margaret married Samuel D. Sublett, 8 Feb 1819, Warren Co KY.

Logan Co Will Book D, LDS Microfilm #0364609 p.288 In relation to guardianship for John & Wm Haden, I make the following report. Two Negroes, Green & _____ put in the hand of Mr. Sublett for the maintenance of the children for year 1829. In a suit in chancery in the Logan Circuit Court amongst the heirs of Wm Haden deceased there was allotted to the said heirs of J. M. Haden the sum of $1287.61. Suit is now in the court of appeals and a Super sedus has been granted, result cannot now be stated. Some Negroes had been sold in that suit & notes to the amount of $951.76 came into my hands. It is uncertain whether the said heirs will be entitled to the procedds as that depends upon the opinion of the court of appeals. Should the case be affirmed that amount will be in my hands. Of the other $335.85 as in the hands of the Admin do bonos non, Wm Haden, he has paid me which will also be in my hands in case the Judgement is affirmed.
