On 10 Dec 1808, Pamela Blakey married William Haden. Pamela was the daughter of George Blakey & Margaret "Peggy" Whitsitt. William and Pamela were 2nd cousins.
William became the administrator of his father's estate in 1824 - it was transferred to his brother-in-law Churchill Blakey and then in 1827 after the death of Churchill Blakey, back to William. In 1838, William formerly separated from his wife, apparently by mutual agreement, giving land and slaves to Pamela and their daughter Margaret, to be held in trust for their support. However, in the 1840 and 1850 censuses, his household still seemed to include Pamela. Perhaps they reconsidered. In 1844, both William and Pamela testified for her mother Margaret's widow's pension for her husband George Blakey's Revolutionary service and Margaret was at that time living with them. In 1860, they were living apart - Pamela was living with her daughter in Logan Co and William was living in neighboring Simpson Co, KY near his brother Samuel. I believe William died in Simpson Co and is buried there. From Simpson Co comes the following cemetery record: "Phillips Cemetery: Hayden, William, 21 Jan 1786 - 13 Nov 1865. The last time this cemetery was recorded (1982) this stone was not found." Pamela Blakey Haden died 6 Jul 1870 and is buried Maple Grove Cemetery in Logan Co - William is not with her there. The children of William are:
....Nancy I. or J. Haden [I and J are indistinguishable in most of the Logan Co records - most of the time it is a J.] born about 1807 to Polly Barnett and William Haden. For many years there has been a question about where Nancy belonged in the family.
The following record from Warren Co, indicates William Haden's first marriage and that he did indeed have a daughter named Nancy. There is no other marriage or family that could account for Nancy and there is a female child of her age in the Logan Co censuses of 1810 and 1820 in William Haden's household. Warren Co KY DB D, p.90; 7 Mar 1808.
"Know all men it may Concern that for & Consideration of the good will & affection which I bear unto Nancy Haiden a Daughter of my Daughter Mary C. Haiden, dec'd. I do give & bequath a certain Negrow Girl named Agg about fifteen years of age". Signed: Thomas Barnett.
Thomas Barnett's will was filed in Logan Co and again mentions deceased daughter Mary Haden:
Logan Co WB B, p.236. 27 Nov 1818.
Will of Thomas Barnet. One slave each to son John, son James C. [Curry?] & daughter Elizabeth Shannon. Granddaughter Letha, daughter of deceased son William, a slave & bed & furniture. Negro man Tom to be freed. Negro woman Sucky to live with one of the children as long as may live; she to make her choice. To heirs of Lucy Sanders, dec'd daughter, in addition to what I have already given, $1. To heirs of Mary Haden, dec'd daughter, in addition to what I have already given, $1. To Adams S. Barnet & Thomas Fields Barnet, grandsons, in addition, each $1. Remainder of estate to be divided among my three children, John, James C. & Elizabeth Shannon. Executors: John & James C. Barnet. Wit: Thomas Bowles, William Barnett. Signed: Thomas Barnet. Probate granted 16 Aug 1819.
...Margaret George Haden was born to William Haden and Pamela Blakey, 8 Oct 1811. She was their only child. Margaret married John N. Hopkins, 18 Sep 1831 in Logan Co and they had two sons, George Samuel, born 1832, and William Haden Hopkins, b. 1834. Neither son ever married. John N. Hopkins was a son of Samuel Hopkins and Anny Haden and a second cousin to Margaret; he may have died before 1850 as he isn't with Margaret and her sons in the census. Margaret died 30 Jun 1867 in Logan Co and is buried Maple Grove Cemetery; her sons also buried there.
There remains a remote possibility that a son was also born to William Haden during the first marriage, although I believe there was not really time for more than one child before Polly died. Later, after William moved over to Simpson Co, the records distinguish between a William Haden, Sr. and William Haden, Jr. This was, of course, many years after the death of his father. However, William's younger brother Samuel, had a son named William, by then an adult, who was likely present there in Simpson County. It is likely that the senior and junior simply designated an older and younger man of the same name, quite possibly an uncle and nephew.
