Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Captain Anthony Haden, or Hayden, War of the Revolution.
Only one claim for pension has been found based upon service of an Anthony Haden, under any spelling of that surname, who was a Captain in that war. His record is given herein as found in the papers on file in that pension claim.
Anthony Haden married December 21, 1787, in Albemarle County, Virginia, Anna Dabney.
She died December 24, 1824, and he died April 28, 1828, both in Christian County, Kentucky.
Anthony Haden and his wife, Anna, had the following children: Joel H., William D., and Nathan O., who died September 4, 1833 in Todd County, Kentucky. Nathan O. Haden's wife died December 24, 1826, her name not shown nor the place of her death. In 1853, Joel H. was aged about sixty-four years and was living in Howard County, Missouri; he was then a Minister of the Gospel.
Nathan O. Haden was survived by the following children, whose names and ages were recorded as follows, in 1853:
Nancy H. Haden, aged about thirty-five years. James C.     "     " " thirty-four " Sibbellow W. Wray " " thirty-one " , wife of Green- berry (or G.B.) Wray. Sally Ann Haden " " twenty-eight years.
On April 7, 1853, the above names James C. Haden, G. B. Wray and

his wife Sabbellow Wray, residents of Ballard County, Kentucky, made application for pension in behalf of themselves, their sisters, Nancy H. and Sally Ann, and their uncle, Joel H. Haden, and Nancy Prewitt (her relationship not shown) on account of the services of Anthony Haden as Captain in the Virginia Troops. The length of service and details were not given.
Their claim was not allowed as there was no provision of law under which they were entitled to pension.
In 1853, Joshua C. Prewitt, of Christian County, Kentucky, aged about fifty-four years, stated that he had been acquainted with Captain Anthony Haden and his family; he did not state any relationship between them.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Honorable William L. Nelson House of Representatives Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Nelson:
In response to your letter of May 15, 1930, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.4418, it appears that Anthony Haden married December 21, 1787, in Albemarle County, Virginia, Anna Dabney.
She died December 24, 1824, and he died April 28, 1828, both in Christian County, Kentucky.
They had the following children: Joel H., William D. and Nathan O. Nathan O. died September 4, 1833, in Todd County, Kentucky; his wife, whose name is not given, died December 24, 1826, place not named. In 1853, Joel H. was aged about sixty-four years and was living in Howard County, Missouri.
Nathan O. Haden was survived by the following children whose ages in 1853 are recorded as follows:
Nancy H. Haden, aged about thirty-five years. James C. Haden, aged about thirty-four years. Sibbellow W. Wray, aged about thirty-one years, wife of Greenberry (or G.B.) Wray. Sally Ann Haden, aged about twenty-eight years.
On April 7, 1853, the above named James C. Haden, G.B. Wray and his wife Sibbellow Wray, residents of Ballard County, Kentucky, made application for pension in behalf of themselves, their sisters, Nancy H. and Sally Ann, and their uncle, Joel H. Haden, and Nancy Prewitt (her relationship not shown) on account of the services of Anthony

Haden as Captain in the Virginia Troops. The length of service and details not given.
Their claim was not allowed as there was no provision of law under which they were entitled to pension.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Samuel Price, as described by you, or to John McCue, Charles Hyde or Joseph McClung.
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
I did not use the name Hadon as none of the family signed that way and it was apparently an error of the office to use the name as Hadon. It is signed Haden.
The application of Joel H. Haden was not mentioned as the only form of rejection in the claim stated that grandchildren were not entitled, but only a child or children, & Joel made no further effort to claim pension & as neither the soldier or his wife ever applied, the real rejection should have been on that basis, so there seemed to be no other way to handle it at this late date. M.M.H.F.

Dear Sir.
Have you the name of Captain Anthony (Hayden) or Haden, from Kentucky , born 1746, recorded as a revolutionary soldier. if so please give me the information, when & where he entered.
Very truly
