HAYDEN, HENRIETTA. "To worshipful Court of Washington County, I, Henrietta Hayden of said county do hereby declare that I will not take or accept the provision made for me by Will of my late husband, Basil Hayden, dec'd., or any part thereof and I do hereby renounce all Benefit which I might claim by said Will, and I hereby claim Dower as the law directs.

Notes:

The only thing known with certainty about the wife of Joseph Clayton is her given name, Eleanor. But Paul Nordberg's monograph "Eleanor Cole of St. Mary's County, Maryland" makes a strong circumstantial case that she was Eleanor Cole, a sister of Patrick's 5G-grandmother Henrietta Cole (1754-1837). More recently, in early 2021, DNA results from a living Clayton descendant of Joseph Clayton showed strong matches to Robert Cole (d. 1771), known father of Henrietta. As a result, Nordberg has concluded, and we agree, that when the circumstantial evidence is added to the genetic, it can be stated with reasonable confidence that Joseph Clayton's wife was the daughter Eleanor mentioned in the 1771 will of Robert Cole.

Notes:

In bequeathing the "land where I now Live" to his wife Nancy in his will of 5 Sep 1827, Wilford Hayden mentions that the land had been deeded to him by Mordecai Lincoln.

Mordecai Lincoln (1771-1830) was an uncle of the 16th president of the United States. In 1797 he bought 300 acres near Springfield, Kentucky from Terah Templin, Kentucky's first ordained Presbyterian minister, and built a two-story log house on it. On 4 Feb 1802, Lincoln sold 200 of those acres, including the house ("that tract or parcel of land with the appurtenances and improvements") to Wilford Hayden. In around 1815 Hayden expanded the house, adding a Federal facade. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the structure survives today on US Highway 528 near Springfield, the only house of any member of the Lincoln family still standing in Kentucky. Renovated in 2007-08, it is open for tours by appointment.

On several occasions, President Lincoln referred to his uncle Mordecai as the relative who had most influenced him, remarking that "Uncle Mord ran off with all the talents of the family." Mordecai Lincoln married Mary Mudd, a Roman Catholic, and presumably converted; at any rate, he is buried at the Old Catholic Cemetery (also called the Lincoln Cemetery) near Fountain Green, Illinois. His son, also Mordecai Lincoln, the 16th President's cousin, was vehemently anti-Catholic; he was also known as a "woman-hater", i.e., a man determined to not marry. The younger Mordecai and the future President corresponded on several occasions and met at least once; they shared an avid interest in their family's history.

In a further twist of history, Mordecai Lincoln's wife Mary Mudd (d. 1850) was a first cousin twice removed to Dr. Samuel Mudd (1833-1883), tried and imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. After more than three years he was pardoned by Andrew Johnson and released from prison in 1869. The question of his actual culpability is still controversial. Both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan wrote letters to his descendant Richard Mudd in which they agreed that Dr. Mudd had committed no crime.

In the "Statement of Significance" in the 1972 application to have the Mordecai Lincoln House added to the National Register of Historic Places, it is stated that Wilford Hayden (called in the document "Wilfred Haydon") was by 1815 "a wealthy man." In the same section, the Federal frame added by Wilford Hayden to Mordecai Lincoln's log house is called "one of the finest architectural examples in Kentucky."

Wilford married Ann C. "Nancy" Lee on 6 Jun 1793. Ann (daughter of Phillip Lee and Susannah Thompson) was born in 1774 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; died on 17 Apr 1835 in Washington County, Kentucky; was buried in St. Rose's Cemetery, Springfield, Washington, Kentucky.

Notes:

Emigrated from Maryland to Kentucky in 1788. [www.stmarysfamilies.com, citing Hayden/Rapier and Allied Families by Mary Louise Donnelly.]

Laura Hayden notes that, compared to other Haydens of this time and place, there appear to be unusually long spans of time between the births of George and Mary Hayden's children. We suspect this means we don't have a full record of all of them.

The 1820 census enumeration of George Hayden's family lists two "Free White Persons - Males - 16 to 25", and two "Free White Persons - Females 10 to 15", none of whom can be accounted for by George and Mary's known children. This is specifically relevant to our belief that George and Mary were the parents of Joseph Hayden b. ~1800, who would account for one of the missing males aged 16 to 25; for more on that, see Joseph's own page. It could also account for another son named Clement, unless Clement is just Joseph Clement or Clement Joseph. We have no theory of the identity of the missing daughters aged 10 to 15, who would have been born between 1805 and 1810.

The book History of Daviess County, Kentucky. Together with Sketches of Its Cities, Villages and Townships, Educational, Religious, Civil, Military, and Political History; Portraits of Prominent Persons, Biographies of Representative Citizens. And an Outline History of Kentucky (Chicago: Inter-State Publishing Company, 1883) states that George and Mary Hayden's son George Samuel Hayden (1810-1876) was "the youngest" of "a large family". In fact, we believe he was the youngest of George and Mary's children, and that George's several further children were the offspring of a second wife named Nancy Doncaster or Duncaster. But at any rate, three children - Elizabeth, Eleanor, and George Samuel - don't constitute "a large family" by the standards of the time. So we're strongly inclined to believe that George and Mary had more children than those for whom records have survived.

Notes:

Sharon J. Doliante (citation details below) says that he married, first, Henrietta Hilton, then Mary Carlin, then Mary Rapier. Sister Mary Louise Donnelly (citation details below) is not frequently more right than Doliante, but in this case she appears to be correct: Mary Carlin was the wife of Stanislaus' next-younger brother Robert. She predeceased Robert, and when he made his will, he named his older brother Stanislaus his executor and the caretaker of his children. Mary Rapier was the wife of Basil Hayden, Jr., the third son of Basil Hayden and Henrietta Cole. Basil Jr. died in 1833 and his wife died in 1838. This leaves a narrow window in which Mary Rapier could have married Stanislaus (leaving aside that this would be wildly unlikely behavior in such a Catholic family), but no actual evidence suggests that this was the case. In fact Stanislaus Hayden married, first, Henrietta Hilton, the mother of his children; and second, on 14 Jan 1834, Susanna Overstreet Walker, who survived him and inherited a third of his estate.

"STANISLAUS HAYDEN was to be court martialed in Springfield, Kentucky on 8/2/1794 as a militia delinquent. BASIL HAYDEN, SR., BASIL HAYDEN, JR. and A. Brown spoke on his behalf. BASIL HAYDEN, SR. said 'his son from his infancy has been deficient in his hearing,'…and should be exempted. The other witnesses gave the same declaration. After mature deliberations the court was of the opinion he should be fined thirty seven shillings and six pence. On 6/16/1798 STANISLAUS HAYDEN appeared and requested to have his name cleared, 'whereupon the Court ordered that he be cleared.'" [John Medley (1615-1660), citation details below]

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William Leo Hayden (1785-1866) was the natural son of Henrietta (Cole) Hayden, by Charles Ewing.

When the Hayden family arrived in north-central Kentucky in 1785, they and the rest of their migrant party were confined for some months inside a rough-and-ready fort for their protection. It’s easy to imagine that this was hard on them all, and Henrietta (Cole) Hayden had further reason to be depressed; she had lost four children on the trek from southern Maryland. Whatever her reasons, she had an affair inside the fort with a sketchy land speculator named Charles Ewing, and became pregnant as a result. She subsequently confessed the liaison to her husband, who publicly denounced her but did not divorce her. Henrietta and Basil went on to have several more children. William Leo, son of Henrietta by Charles Ewing, was raised in Basil and Henrietta’s family, where his nickname was “Not Blood.” Basil’s will provided William Leo with half the amount he gave to each of his own surviving children.

After Basil’s death in 1804, Henrietta immediately married Charles Ewing. Shortly afterward, she declared in court that she "will not take or accept the provision made for me by Will of my late husband, Basil Hayden, dec'd., or any part thereof and I do hereby renounce all Benefit which I might claim by said Will, and I hereby claim Dower as the law directs." But in 1807 Charles Ewing left her and bigamously married one Mary (or perhaps Margaret) Flint. In 1808 Henrietta managed to divorce Charles, which required an act of the Kentucky legislature.

From Littel's Laws of Kentucky, Volume 3:

[Page 446] An act concerning the marriage of HENRIETTA EWING. approved Feb. 3, 1808 This act authorised her to sue CHARLES EWING, for a divorce, in the Nelson court, and to obtain it on a jury's finding that he had seperated from her and intermarried with MARY FLINT, and continued to live in adultery with said Mary.

From John Medley (1615-1660) by Mary Louise Donnelly (citation details below):

William Leo "Little Willie" Hayden was born 12/16/1785 in Washington Co Ky, the son of Henrietta Cole Hayden. The account of William Leo Hayden's birth is told in letters written by Rev Stephen Badin to Bishop Carroll.

"The widow Hayden who had disgraced herself in marriage, has renewed her past scandals and finished by marrying heterodoxum corum heterodoxo (a protestant by a protestant - in 2/4/1805 letter). Mr Rohan who is keeping school on my land has among his school-boys a subject that might become a clergyman were not the illegitimacy of his birth an obstacle to it. I thought proper to inform you of his virtue & talents, & also that the parents are willing & in some degree able to procure him a liberal education. He belongs to Mr Hayden's family, tho he be not his father: he is twelve or thirteen years of age."

William Hayden, mentioned in Basil Hayden, Sr's will as "Henrietta's son" [sic — the actual phrase is "my wife's son" —PNH], might be the illegitimate son of Charles Ewing whom Henrietta married seven months after Basil Hayden, Sr's death. In Washington Co Ky, on 2/5/1810 William Leo Hayden married first Anna Pike (d. 1/8/1811), the daughter of John Pike. In Washington Co on 1/4/1813 he married secondly Mary Hayden the daughter of Charles Hayden and Eleanor Elliott. The information on his birth and marriages was recorded in his family Bible.

William Leo Hayden was well educated and was the teacher of his own children. In 1835 he moved with his family to Daviess Co Ky. On 11/16/1841 William Hayden purchased 1523 acres of land on the south bank of Panther Creek from William R Griffith and Philip and Eliza H. Triplett (Deed F: 554-555). For a time Court was held in his home. In 5/1866 William and Mary Hayden deeded to Charles Leo Hayden, "...who supported said William and Mary last 10 years ...," 206 acres (Deed T: 306-307). Mary died 7/14/1866 and William Leo Hayden died 12/6/1867 in Owensboro, Ky.

From The Immigration of William "Little Willie" Leo Hayden, quoting a letter written in January 1886 by Richard R. Coomes to the Hon. B.J. Webb:

[A]s some of St Raphael's congregation appear to show some dissatisfaction of the short and, in truth, unjust reference to said congregation, I feel bound to give some items concerning it.

The facts concerning its settlement are these. In 1834 a man well known about Holy Cross [Catholic Church in Calvary, Marion County, Kentucky] as "Little Willie" Hayden, son of Basil Hayden, sold his farm near the church and immigrated to Daviess County, Kentucky to look for better situations for himself and his sons. With him came his brother, Lewis Hayden. The two selected land adjoining the St. Raphael farm, with "Little Willie" agreeing to purchase 1,500 acres adjoining the 200 acres that he had selected for the church. Lewis selected a like amount adjoining that of "Little Willie"'s if William R. Griffith, the owner, would donated 200 acres to the church. Griffith willingly gave the 200 acres and, by doing so, made a sale of the 3,000 acres to the two brothers. The sale of the land that he owned in that part of he county benefited himself, the Hayden brothers, and the Catholic Church. The above purchase was made in 1833 or 1834. At the time, there was not a Catholic living nearer than ten miles from Owensboro, in Daviess County, Kentucky.

"Little Willie"'s family came in 1835 as the first settlers in St. Alphonso's congregation, his house being the first and only station for church until the first log church was built in 1844. He was the principal head of Catholic affairs so long as he was able to get about. He died on December 6, 1867, aged 82 years. There was another William Hayden who settled near St Raphaels but moved within the bounds of St Alfonsus before 1840.

In 1841 when I moved within the bounds of the then St Raphael's, now St Martin's, there was living in the St Raphael's congregation Randall Blandford, William Sims, Reson Cravens, John Livers, Charles Clayton, John Hayden, John Mattingly, Sylvester Hayden, James M Hayden, Phillip Hayden's widow and family, Thadius Coomes, and others whose names I can't now recall. But this I can say, that after 1845, by marriages and imigration the county filled up very fast so that it was soon necessary to build the church of St Alfonso within seven miles of St Raphael's and a few years thereafter that of St Martin's both principally within the original boundry of St Raphael's all of which may be said to be a fairly prosperous farming country so that the Hayden purchase gave to the Catholics of Kentucky a chance for homes without having to go so far west, and as a general thing, to do better nearer home, not that I am opposed to going West by any means, some of my own brothers & a sister went and did better.

I hope this will give you a better idea of the St Raphael country.

Will of William Leo Hayden, written 21 Dec 1866, probated 6 Jan 1868:

In the name of God. Amen. I WILLIAM HAYDEN, of Daviess County, Kentucky, being of extreme old age but of sound mind and disposing memory and calling to mind that all men must die and wishing to arrange my temporal concerns before I am imposed by the call to appear before my God and Judge to determine my lot through all Eternity hereby revoking and annulling all other wills which I may have made heretofore do make and establish this as my last Will and Testament to wit.

The family bible of William Leo Hayden is supposedly now at St. Joseph's, Maple Mount, Daviess, Kentucky. Its transcription, "Bible records of Basil Hayden (Basil Robert Hayden, 1774-1833)", in Kentucky Genealogical Records Book, GRC Book Series 1, volume 319, pp. 84-87, lists, among the children of Basil and Henrietta (Cole) Hayden, "Milly Hayden 12/16/1785."

Notes:

Joseph Hayden's parentage remains unproven. But we (Laura Hayden and PNH) think it very likely he was a son of George Hayden (1776-1859).

(1) DNA evidence indicates that Patrick is probably a direct paternal descendant of the immigrant Francis Heydon who died in St. Mary's County, Maryland circa 1694. Specifically, his brother Benjamin's Y-DNA is a 98% match to that of several people with documented paternal descent from Francis. Additionally, Benjamin's Y-DNA is also a strong match to that of people descended from Charles Evans Hayden (1873-1939), who was a grandson of George Hayden (1776-1859).

(2) We do not have a record of a straight father-to-son descent from Francis to Patrick. We have records that show Patrick is descended from Francis, but they go through the maternal line at least twice. (Specifically, the documented descent from Francis goes through Joseph's son James's wife Mary Drucilla Hayden, daughter of Urban Hayden, son of Mary A. Hayden, daughter of Charles Hayden, himself a direct male-line descendant of Francis. Urban’s father William Leo Hayden was not a descendant of Francis, but he married a Hayden, Mary, who was.)

(3) We have never been able to find a record of the parents of Patrick's paternal great-great-great grandfather Joseph Hayden (~1800-<1883).

(4) And yet, if the DNA evidence is to be believed, Joseph must be a direct paternal descendant of Francis.

This has led us to examine the question of which direct paternal descendants of Francis Hayden (d. ~1694) were in Washington County, Kentucky at the right time to be the father of Joseph Hayden who was (according to the 1883 History of Daviess County, Kentucky, citation details below) born there in approximately 1800.

William Hayden, direct paternal great-grandson of Francis Hayden, was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1742. He and his family emigrated from Maryland to Kentucky as part of the expedition led by his more famous brother Basil Hayden. William Hayden died in Washington County, Kentucky on 10 April 1794.

His sons were:
Charles Hayden, b. ~1766, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1813, Washington, KY
Benedict "Bennett" Hayden, b. 1768, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1794, Washington, KY
Henry Hayden, b. 1770, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1828, Washington, KY
Wilford Hayden, b. 1772, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1827, Washington, KY
George Hayden, b. <1776, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1859, Springfield, Washington, KY
Thomas Hayden, b. 1779, St. Mary's County, MD; d. 1850, Fancy Farm, Graves, KY

(Incidentally, the Wilford Hayden mentioned above, sold, in 1802, 300 acres near Springfield, Kentucky, to Mordecai Lincoln (1771-1830), uncle of the 16th President of the United States. More on Wilford's page, behind the link.)

Benedict Hayden is unlikely to have been Joseph's father, unless our birth year for Joseph is off by at least six years. That leaves Charles, Henry, Wilford, George, and Thomas.

Kentucky's 1800 census records were burned by the British during the War of 1812. But surviving tax lists from 1800 turn up 17 men named Hayden, Heydon, Haydon, or Haydin being taxed in Washington County that year. Among those seventeen are names corresponding to all five of William Hayden's sons known to have been alive and in Washington County in 1800: a Charles Heydon, a Henry Heydon, a Wilfrid Haydin, a George Hayden, and a Thomas Haydon. ("Will Heydon" and "Willy Heydon", also among the 17 names, might well be the same individual as Wilfrid/Wilford.)

Charles Hayden is already known to be a 5G grandfather to Patrick, as the father of Mary A. Hayden who married William Leo Hayden, natural son of Basil Hayden's wife Henrietta Cole. Charles is unlikely to be the father of Joseph because the records show him and his wife Eleanor Elliott as parents of a different child born in 1800, Charles Hayden Jr., who married Eleanor Hagan (1803-1882) and died in 1838. That leaves Henry, Wilford, George, and Thomas.

Henry Hayden married Jennet Lee in Kentucky in 1789, and she had several children by him before she died sometime before 1796. In July 1796 Henry married Mary Green, and we have no record of them having any children.

Wilford Hayden married Ann Nancy Lee, and they had a child in 1800, Phillip Hayden, who married Elizabeth Thompson Hayden (1811-1849) and died in 1841.

Thomas Hayden married Mary Willett in January 1802. They had 13 children, including a John Joseph Hayden in 1812, but John Joseph married Elenor Hobbs and isn't our Joseph Hayden.

That leaves George Hayden (1776-1859) as the likeliest father for Joseph Hayden. George Hayden married Mary Elliott, the sister of his brother Charles's wife Eleanor Elliott, in Washington County, Kentucky in 1796. George and Mary's first recorded child is Elizabeth b. 1798; the next one we're able to find is Eleanor b. 1803. As Laura Hayden points out, this a very long gap for the usually-prolific Haydens; Joseph could well have been born to them in that gap.

Some unsourced online records show George Hayden and Mary Elliott with a son identified as "Clement Hayden" born c. 1800 in Washington County, Kentucky. It's hardly impossible that this Clement's full name was Clement Joseph Hayden, or Joseph Clement Hayden. Or Clement and Joseph could be separate children; the gap is long enough to easily encompass the birth of two. Relevant to this, the 1820 census shows George and Mary's household containing two "Free White Persons - Males - 16 to 25", which suggests that they had at least two otherwise unrecorded sons prior to 1805.

Just to reiterate, Joseph Hayden (1800-1883), Patrick's GGG grandfather, has to have been a direct paternal descendant of the immigrant Francis Hayden, unless the DNA results are wrong. And to repeat a supporting point, those DNA results also showed Patrick's brother Benjamin as a strong match to paternal descendants of a grandson of the George Hayden we are hypothesizing as Joseph Hayden's father -- Charles Evans Hayden (1873-1939), grandson of George by his second wife, Nancy Doncaster.

[Thanks to Laura Hayden for doing most of the work on this series of deductions.]

Another thing we know as well as we know anything about Joseph Hayden is that he married Catherine Clayton on 26 Aug 1823 in Nelson County, Kentucky, and that she was a daughter of Joseph Clayton who fought on the Virginia line in the Revolution and died in Nelson County, Kentucky between 1813 and 1824.

The following legal transcript, found at http://www.geocities.ws/johnadamfogle/26.html and entitled "Indenture, Nelson County, 11 April 1803", shows that as far back as 1793, William Hayden (father to George, who we believe to have been Joseph's father), and his son Charles Hayden, and Joseph Clayton, who would become Joseph Hayden's father-in-law thirty years later, were all neighbors in Nelson County, Kentucky, owning land that abutted one another's holdings.

This Indenture made the (blank) day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred and three between Charles Morehead and Samuel Miller Commissioners of the County of Nelson of the one part and Joseph Fogle of the same county of the other part.

Regarding his death date, Laura Hayden notes: "We don't have a date of death for Joseph. We only know it was after his last sighting in the census records - 1850 - and before his mention in this excerpt from the History of Daviess County (pub. 1883): 'James S. Hayden, born in Nelson County, KY, Aug. 23, 1836, is a son of Joseph Hayden (deceased), a native of Washington County.'"

The Owensboro Messenger, 24 Aug 1880, lists "Hayden, Joseph S" as among those with a letter addressed to them at the Owensboro Post Office which "if not called for in thirty days will be sent to the Dead Letter Office."

***

The 1850 census records Joseph as living in Nelson County with his daughter Mary Ellen Hayden and her husband Orville Price, and gives his age as "50". This is the chief evidence for a birthdate of around 1800.

A Findagrave.com page exists for "Joseph Haydon", listing him as born in 1800 and buried in St. Catherine Cemetery, New Haven, Nelson County, Kentucky. It gives no death date, and the user who recorded this cemetery notes that they photographed every stone there and found no stone for him. Despite the fact that this Joseph Haydon's birthplace is given as "New Haven, Nelson County, Kentucky" instead of Washington County, we think this is our Joseph, because his daughter Mary Ellen and her husband Orville Price, in whose household we last see Joseph living in 1850, are both buried there as well.

Notes:

He was the distiller who devised the Old Grand-Dad brand of bourbon (or, as the early labels called it, "sour mash") whiskey, which first appeared in 1882. He was a lifelong bachelor, and according to several online sources, was found dead in his orchard with a bottle of poison by his side, and his death was ruled a suicide.

We note that if the Church had believed that he committed suicide, it would be unlikely for him to be buried at St. Joseph's.

Notes:

Hardin County newspaper abstract (compiled by Carolyn Wimp), published Oct 22, 1897:

Basil Hayden is one of the wealthiest farmers in Nelson Co. Lives in the eastern part of the county, 10 miles from Bardstown. He is now 75 years old and has not touched his foot to the earth for over 30 years. He is spending his declining years in solitude. One of his brothers, Raymond H Hayden, for years held controlling interest in one of the most famous distilleries in the United States. He too, had peculiar ideas, and lived a bachelor all his life, and died at an advanced age under singular circumstances. He was found dead in his orchard a number of years ago, a bottle that had contained poison lying by his side. It was thought that he had committed suicide, but there were some who believed that he had met with foul play. Basil "Hermit" Hayden, in his youth, was a social leader. When the war broke out, he entered the Confederate army. When he came back after the war, he changed. He declared that the Lord had dealt harshly and unjustly with him, depriving him of his slaves and out of revenge, he registered a terrible oath that he would never again put his foot to the Lord's ground, and so far has kept his vow. Mr Hayden is described as a fine looking man, with a full beard and flowing hair.

WASHINGTON COUNTY (KY) NEWS LEADER 2/23/1899
HEYDON, BASIL:

A remarkable case is that of Basil Haydon, who has spent 30 years in one Room. There lives in Washington county, we are informed, 6 or 7 miles south of Springfield, one of the most eccentric human beings, we feel warranted in saying in Kentucky. Shortly before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated president of the U.S., on the 4th of March, 1861, Basil Haydon was to have married a young lady in the neighborhood in which he now lives, but before the day set for the marriage arrived she eloped with another man and has never been heard from by any of her relatives. This weighed on the mind of her former admirer, and the day the president took his seat in the White House he went to his room in the second story of the building and declared he would nerver step on the earth again as long as he should live. His father and mother were both dead, and he had been living in the house alone for several months, doing his own cooking. His bitter disappointment he gave as a reason for his seclusion. People at first thought him to be crazy, but, after a sufficient length of time, discovered their mistake. Since he first secluded himself 38 years ago, so far as is known, he has never broken his word. Some say he lives 2 miles form Frederickstown, in the Poplar Flat neighborhood. He being an uncle of Mr. Alex Hamilton and Mrs. George Robertson. He is quite wealthy and looks after his business affairs and has accumulated a large estate. He had a brother who died several years ago who was a distiller and quite wealthy.

HAYDEN, BASIL
DAILY IOWA STATE PRESS, IOWA CITY, IOWA 5/1/1899
A KENTUCKY HERMIT
OWNS FINE FARM AND IS VERY WEALTHY
WAS ONCE A LEADER IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD
SERVED IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY
SAYS THE LORD HAS TREATED HIM WRONGLY
HIS QUEER ACTIONS

Living ten miles east of Bardstown, Ky., is one of the most singular characters in the state. Now in his 75th year, he has not touched his foot to the earth for over thirty years. Living in a comfortable residence, surrounded by many acres of the best land in Nelson county, he is spending his declining years in colitude. Basil Hayden, referred to above, is one of the wealthiest farmers in a district composed of half a dozen counties , and is descended from a family well known in the pioneer annals of the state. Many of them have also been distinguished in the different lines of life. One of his brothers, Raymond Hayden, was the originator of a celebrated brand of whisky, and for years held a controlling interest in once of the most famous distilleries in the United States. He, too, had peculiar ideas, and lived a bachelor all his life, and at last died at an advanced age under singular circumstances. He was found dead in his orchard, a number of years ago, a bottle that had contained poison lying by his side. It was generally supposed that he comitted suicide, but there were some of the opinion that he had met with foul play, and that the poison bottle had been placed near him for a blind. Basil Hayden, or "The Hermit," as he is known throughout the section in which he lives, in his youth was a social leader, and very popular with a circle of friends. When the war broke out he entered the confederate army and made a good soldier to the last end. When he returned home he found his slaves free and his property greatly damaged. The emancipation of the negroes affected him seriously, and he brooded over it constantly. He became silent and morose, declining all overtures of friendliness on the part of his neighbors. He declared the Lord had dealt harshly and unjustly with him in depriving him of his slaves, and out of revenge he registered a terrible oath that he would never again put his foot to the Lord's ground, and so far he has kept his vow. Never since its registration has he appeard without his door, nor will he have intercourse with any save one or two, who are immediately connected with him, and then his words are of the briefest possible character. His landed interests are extensive, and under the management of the competent overseer yield him a handsome income. The overseer makes his reports to the queer old man in his darkened retreat, who gives his directions and orders as tersely as possible. He has never spoken to a woman in any manner since his self-imposed exile, nor will he allow one to be employed upon his place. How he spends his time in his darkened room no one knows, but it is said he is a miser as well as a hermit, and that his chief employment is counting and toying with his money, of which he is said to have a vast amount in silver and gold. Be this as it mauy, a Bardstown banker twice a year visits Mr. Hayden, and through him the recluse settles his financial manners with the outside world. Mr. Hayden is described as a fine-looking man, with a full beard and flowing hair. His confinement has bleached him until his is as white as a infant, and his hands are as soft as raw cotton. He had a sale of mules at his farm recently and a number of animals were sold at fancy prices. A large number of people were present at the sale, among them the writer, but never a glimpse was caught of Hayden. His instructions to the auctioneer were sent out by the overseer, written in a crabbed hand and were very direct.


HAYDON, BASIL
OBIT
WASHINGTON COUNTY (KY) NEWS LEADER 9/19/1909
45 YEARS IN HIS ROOM, WAS BASIL HAYDON WHO DIED LAST FRIDAY

Seldom it is the duty of an editor to chronicle the death of one whose life is so shrouded in mystery, as that of Mr. Basil Haydon, who died last week, in Nelson County just over the border line of this county. Mr. Haydon was born in Nelson County eighty five years ago. His parents came there from Maryland in the early part of the nineteenth century, and were among the early settlers of the county, and it was they who purchased the farm and built the brick house where Mr. Haydon was living when he died. Basil was one of twelve children, eight boys and four girls. Of the girls, two entered the convent at Loretto, and one at St. Catharine, the other married Mr. Hamilton and was the mother of Mr. Alex Hamilton and Mrs. G. D. Robertson, Sr., of this place. Basil Haydon grew to manhood in the county of birth and never wandered far from the place of birth. He was educated at St. Joseph's College at Bardstown. In the early days he mingled in the highest society and was very cultured in intellect and handsome in person. He lived as other men and mingled with them until about the close of the civil war, when without any apparent reason and without disclosing to any one his motive he suddenly went into retirement and for the remainder of his days he live the life of a hermit. During this long period of nearly a half century he seldom saw anyone. The house where he lived was built in the early colonial style of those days, situated on his farm of 600 acres, far from the road the way to which lies through a dense forest. Here, far from the madding crowd he was content to spend his days, never leaving his room, seldom talking to anyone. The only persons on the place besides himself was a Mr. Logue Borders and his wife who lived in the house with him and managed his affairs for him. In his habits he was very peculiar, and during the hottest days of the year kept a fire burning in the great fire place. What was the man's motive and what led him to choose so strange a manner of living will never be known for this secret of his life is buried with him. If it was some vow taken to live this secluded life, it was faithfully kept. Though separated from the world and scarcely living in it, he knew what it was doing in every land. He was well informed on all leading questions of the day and conversed intelligently on all subjects with the few who had the privilege of being admitted to his presence. Though never voting, he was an ardent Democrat and always took an intense interest in political subjects. During his life, he had his farm conducted successfully and doubtless made money. Several fortunes were left to him but what disposition he made of his property is not yet known. When death came too close the existence of one who had been dead to the world for nearly half a century, it came not in the form of disease to cut short his existence but as a gentle messenger when life's candle burnt out. Funeral services were conducted at Fredrickstown Sunday by Rev. Father Pieters and the remains were laid to rest in St. Joseph's cemetery at Bardstown. Thus closes the final chapter in the life of a man whose acts no mortal can judge, for his motive was known only to himself and his Savior.

The Owensboro Messenger and Examiner for 13 Aug 1879, page 3, reports: "A hen belonging to Urban Hayden, Esq, rose up and cackled over an egg within an egg last week. The phenomenon can be seen at his office."

The Owensboro Messenger for 16 May 1885, page 4, records under "Real Estate Transfers": "Urban Hayden to Jo Aud, parcel of land for love and affection." Urban Hayden's daughter Mary Drucilla Hayden (d. 1890) was the first wife of James S. Hayden. James S.'s second wife was Margaret Josephine Aud.

The Owensboro Messenger for 9 Feb 1889, page 4, for 10 Feb 1889, page 5, and for 22 Feb 1889, page 4, reports: "COMMISSIONER'S NOTICE, Daviess Circuit Court. C. W. Hayden, &c., Plaintiff, vs. J. G. Medley, &c., Deft. In Equity. All persons having claims against Urban Hayden deceased, are hereby notified to present same properly proven, to the undersigned, on or before March 1st, 1889. GEO. F. HAYNES, Master Commissioner." C. W. Hayden is probably Urban's eldest son Charles William Hayden (1845-1919).

The Owensboro Messenger for 10 Feb 1892, page 1, reports: "Jerome Hayden sues James Hayden for a settlement of the estate of Urban Hayden." The James Hayden mentioned here is probably not Urban's son-in-law James S. Hayden, but rather his son James Urban Hayden (1856-1933). The Jerome is probably Urban's son Jerome, born about 1854.

Notes:

James S. Hayden and Mary Drucilla Hayden were second cousins once removed, both (if our theory of Joseph Hayden's origins is correct) being descendants of William Hayden (1742-1794) and his wife Elizabeth Thompson.

From the record of James S. Hayden's marriage to Mary Drucilla Hayden, we can see that, like PNH's father, he abbreviated his first name to "Jas".

SHOWN THE MEMORY OF JAMES S. HAYDEN
Meeting of Rice E. Graves Camp of Confederate Veterans Held and Resolutions Adopted.

Rico [sic] E. Graves camp was called together to take action on the death of Comrade James S. Hayden, who died near West Louisville. On motion the commander appointed the following committee on resolutions: Nick Lancaster, Thomas Murphy and James H. Cottrell.

The committee reported the following, which was adopted:

Whereas, One more call, one more answer. J. S. Hayden, member of Rice E. Graves camp, answers to the final call and passes into the great beyond. Brave soldier and good man, always ready, both in the field of battle, or in the peaceful pursuits of life; generous in life, true to his friends, and stood by his political party to the last. When death called he was anxiously scanning the returns of the election, like a [sic] brave soldier he was. "Oh," he said and joined his comrades on the other side. Just a promotion, higher up in the ranks, where the boom of cannons or the strains of a soldier's life is not known. Peace to his ashes.

J. S. Hayden was born in Nelson county, in the year 1836. Daviess county was his adopted county. He was a member of Captain Millett's company K, Fourth Kentucky infantry, also a member of the Rice E. Graves camp.

Therefore be it resolved. That we, as members of said camp, express our sympathy and sorrow for the broken link in the chain that is almost too short to be counted. A few of us still remain to gather around one more dead comrade and we extend to the family our heartfelt sympathy.

Second. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the camp roster and a copy sent to the family of the deceased.

"WILLIAM MEDLEY started making whiskey on his farm on Cartright's Creek near St. Rose's in Springfield, Kentucky. He made his living as a distiller. From a ledger which he kept from 3/1841 until 12/1850 he sold fine prime bourbon in quantity lots at 24 cents per gallon. Besides his distillery he also had a blacksmith shop and general food store. There were numerous entries for repairing stills so he was familiar with the coopersmith trade as well.

Notes:

From Donnelly, John Medley (1615-1660): "JOSEPH URBAN MEDLEY (849) was born 4/2/1868 in Rineyville, Kentucky, the son of JOSEPH GATTON "GAT" MEDLEY (487) and ROSELLA ANNA HAYDEN (549). JOSEPH URBAN MEDLEY was named as an heir of his grandfather URBAN HAYDEN (276) (Deed D:132, Daviess Co., KY). He spent many years on his father's farm prior to his marriage, and served in the Spanish American War. On 5/5/1905 he married first Mary Virginia Blandford (d 9/24/1909). At the time of their daughters births they were residing in Omaha, Nebraska and then returned to Owensboro, Kentucky. In Owensboro on 8/16/1911 he married secondly Malissa Marie Clark (b 10/27/1882, d 12/27/1947 in Owensboro, KY), the daughter of Felix Clark and Catherine Blandford. They moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming. JOSEPH URBAN MEDLEY was a professional photographer and the family lived near Army installations as he specialized in troop pictures. They next moved to Texas City, Texas, and then to El Paso, Texas where he built a large home for his growing family. Malissa Marie was never satisfied being so far from Kentucky and eventually the family returned to Kentucky and bought a large farm across the river in Indiana. A flood wiped out his entire first crop and the family lost everything. The family returned to Owensboro where JOSEPH URBAN MEDLEY was a policeman and park supervisor of Mooreland Park. While a policeman he never arrested a drunk. Instead he called a taxi to take the person home, and payed for it out of his own pocket. While a park supervisor he planted all the beautiful trees that one today sees in Mooreland Park. At the time of his death on 2/7/1932, he was a barber in Owensboro. He is remembered by his children with respect and love.
