REUBEN HERNDEN



   Reuben Hernden's widow, Frances Hernden, applied for a widow's revolutionary

pension while living in Hamilton County, Dec. 8, 1843. Reuben Hernden died in

Franklin County, now Coffee County, Tenn., in March 1813. He had a younger

brother, James Hernden, who also served in the Revolution and drew pension in

Rutherford County, according to the statement of his son, Jacob Hernden, who

testifies in Frances Hernden's application. He says that his father, James

Hernden, died in Rutherford County, Oct. 1, 1843, that James Hernden married

about 1781 and had six children. That Reuben and James were sons of Jacob

Hernden, Sr., and that Reuben enlisted when he was 19 years of age and was taken

prisoner in Col. Buford's defeat at or near Lunenburg Court House, Va., and that

James Hernden was serving in the same company and was also taken prisoner.

Frances Kenneda was born June 6, 1765 and was married in Charlotte County, Va.,

on Twitty Creek in the Mossyford Meeting House by John Williams, a Baptist

Preacher. Her name is spelled three ways in the application, Kenneda, Canada and

Kennedy. After she secured her pension she moved to Dekalb County, Ala. The

children of Reuben and Frances Hernden were: Sarah, born 1791; James, born 1792;

William, born 1795; John, born 1779; Elijah, born 1799; Jacob, born 1801; Reuben

Jr., born 1804; Enoch, born 1806, and Jane, born 1809, who married William George.
