Catherine Clayton

Catherine married Joseph Hayden on 26 Aug 1823 in Nelson County, Kentucky. Joseph (son of George Hayden and Mary "Polly" Elliott) was born about 1800 in Washington County, Kentucky; died before 1883 in Kentucky; was buried in St. Catherine's, New Haven, Nelson, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her tombstone reads "Ellen Price."

From the 1850 census, it appears that Patrick's GGG grandfather Joseph Hayden, father of Mary Ellen Hayden, and his son, Patrick's GG grandfather James S. Hayden, were both living in the Price house at the time. James is reported as being 15 and Joseph is shown as 50.

Mary married Orville H. Price in 1845. Orville was born in 1821; died in 1910 in Nelson County, Kentucky; was buried in St. Catherine's, New Haven, Nelson, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary married Clement Jesse "Jett" Fogle on 2 Sep 1851 in St. Catherine's, New Haven, Nelson, Kentucky. Clement (son of Joseph Fogle and Margaret Clark) was born in 1828 in Nelson County, Kentucky; died on 9 Feb 1896 in Nelson County, Kentucky; was buried in St. Catherine's, New Haven, Nelson, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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".

Mr. Hayden, for many years, was a resident of Daviess county and a valuable citizen. He was [born] in Nelson county, Ky., August 23, 1836, and was a son of Joseph Hayden, deceased, a native of Washington county. He came to this county in 1852.

From the Owensboro Messenger, 8 Nov 1908, page 7:

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.

T. M. MURPHY.
NICK LANCASTER.
J. H. COTTRELL.
Committee.

EIGHT CHILDREN IN EIGHT YEARS

Is Record of Young Curdsville Couple.

Among them are three sets of twins -- Four Boys and Four Girls

If All People Followed Their Example Owensboro Would Extend From Hardinsburg to Henderson.

Whether there is race suicide in process of perpetration in this country or whether there is not, there is a young couple in Daviess county, eight years married and parents of eight children. If their example were followed by all the people in Daviess county this section would shortly be such a city that Main street would extend from Hardinsburg to Henderson. It would be a city that could furnish wives for the womanless of the West and soldiers for the armies of the world.

These young people are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hayden of the Curdsville neighborhood. Mr. Hayden is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hayden, his wife was, before her marriage, Miss Fannie Newton. Both are members of well known and highly respected families. Mr. Hayden is a farmer by occupation and is prosperous.

Of their children four are boys and four are girls. Among them there are three pairs of twins. The first was a boy, then came twins, then a girl and then came twins again, two boys. Saturday, on the eighth anniversary of their marriage, a third pair of twins came, bringing the total number of children to eight. The latest twins are girls.

Mr. Hayden is thirty-three years old and weighs 125 pounds. His wife is twenty-nine years old and weighs 150 pounds.

This record has probably never been surpassed in Daviess county. There is a case on record of a couple in this same section of the county who had five children in a year—but this was maintained for only one year. It was nearly forty years ago. In January, twins were born to them, and in December of the same year triplets were born. But Mr. and Mrs. Hayden have the record for recent years.

The father of Mr. Hayden brought the news of the birth of the latest pair of twins to Owensboro yesterday afternoon.

YOUNG FARMER DIES

And Leaves a Widow and Eight Children

Clarence Hayden died of heart trouble at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at his home at Rome, after an illness of several months. His death, while sudden, was not unexpected. He had been in poor health for some time. Mr. Hayden was twenty-eight years old and a respected farmer of the Rome section. His wife, who was before her marriage Miss Newton, survives him, with eight children. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock Sunday morning from St. Raphael's church. The interment will be in the church cemetery.

Clarence married Sarah Frances "Fannie" Newton on 31 Jan 1899 in Daviess County, Kentucky. Sarah (daughter of Henry Isaac Newton and Margaret Matilda Lewis) was born on 7 Oct 1880 in Liberty Hall, Breckinridge, Kentucky; died on 15 Nov 1970 in Highland Park, Wayne, Michigan; was buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Southfield, Oakland, Michigan.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 8 Sep 1872
• Alternate birth: 8 Sep 1873, Owensboro, Daviess, Kentucky

Notes:

According to the U.S. Army Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914, on ancestry.com, he served (as a clerk) in the US Cavalry, 27 May 1895 to 26 May 1898 and was discharged at Fort Du Chesne, Utah. According to U.S. National Cemetery Interment Control Forms, 1928-1962, also on ancestry.com, he then re-enlisted on 11 Jun 1898 and was discharged on 14 Oct of the same year with the rank of sergeant in company B of the 1st Kentucky Cavalry. His gravestone at Arlington describes him as a veteran of the Spanish-American War, which took place from April through August of 1898. Where he fought, if in fact he saw combat, is unknown to us. He may have re-enlisted again; the newspaper story transcribed below refers to him having been "[f]or a number of years", in connection with the Army, "stationed at Washington, and later at St. Louis".

However those postings may fit into his timeline, the record of his daughter Jane's birth on 3 Oct 1906 says that he worked at that time for the "US Postal service". In 1910 he is seen in the record as a US government clerk at Liguan Military Reservation in the Philippines. He left that position in June 1912 for a job as the clerk of the Army quartermaster's depot in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In late 1912 he left government service for a job at an airplane company in Cincinnati, but by Sep 1918 he was a clerk at the War Department in Washington, DC, a position he still had in 1920. He was still living in Washington, DC in 1930. This is as much as we know of his working life.

He died of bladder cancer at the VA hospital in the Bronx. The abstract of his death certificate helpfully informs us that his residence by then was "Vermont Apartments" in New Jersey.

His death certificate gives his date of birth as 8 Sep 1873. His gravestone at Arlington says 8 Sep 1872.

From the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer, 5 Jan 1913, page 3:

LETTER

CLEARS UP DISAPPEARANCE OF IVO HAYDEN

Left Jeffersonville to Get Position in Cincinnati—Was Born Near West Louisville

Jeffersonville, Ind., Jan. 4. — R. Ivo Hayden, who was transferred to the quartermaster's depot here, last June from the Philippines, and located with his wife and two children, in a cottage at 305 East Chestnut street, and whose sudden and mysterious absence from his home caused much anxiety and uneasiness among his friends has been heard from, a letter being received by Frank B. Shepherd, a messenger at the government depot.

Hayden, in his letter to Shepherd, said he had left Jeffersonville for the purpose of quitting the government service and had gone to Cincinnati, from which city he wrote, with a view of finding a position that he thought he would like better than the one he has been filling. It was stated by Hayden that he had notified his wife, who is in Lexington, Ky., where he was, and she would join him later.

After reaching Cincinnati, Hayden wrote, three good positions were found to be open and one was accepted with an aeroplane company.

The personal effects of Hayden are still in the cottage where he had been living since last June, 305 East Chestnut street, and no mention of them was made in the letter. Neither did Hayden offer any explanation as to why he left Jeffersonville unannounced, without locking the front door to his home. The vacancy caused by the leaving of Hayden brings up the question of how it will be filled. The general impression of those who were talked with last evening is that under the new army reorganization law an enlisted man will be promoted and send to Jeffersonville. If this is the case he will be the first soldier clerk at the depot.

Born At West Louisville

Ivo Hayden is the son of James S. Hayden, deceased, and was born and raised in the West Louisville neighborhood. He has a brother, Robert Hayden, living near Curdsville, and a sister, Mrs. Ernest Clark, near West Louisville. When a very young man Hayden entered the army, and by his efficient service has been promoted to a number of important positions. For a number of years he was stationed at Washington, and later at St. Louis.

Notes:

The memorial inscription on his gravestone, as shown in the photograph on his Find a Grave page, clearly gives a death date of 16 Sep 1915. But the Navy record of his death says that on "9 September 1915", on the U.S.S. Decatur, "At 3:45 p.m. an explosion occurred in compartment A-2 or A-97-M, killing HAYDEN, William U., Chief Gunner's Mate, USN; BELL, Ewell, Gunner's Mate 3rd Class, USN; ELKINS, Loid J., Gunner's Mate 3rd Class, USN."
