Patriot is buried in an unknown/lost grave in Christian County, Kentucky. His service is memorialized on a granite monolith in the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West placed by the John Manire Chapter, KYSSAR, in 2012. This monument contains the names of all Rev War Patriots who died in Christian County. It serves as the de-facto memorial stone for all of the Patriots buried whereabouts unknown. Each year, in April, the KY Society hosts a Central District "Patriot's Day" event to honor each of the Patriots listed on the monolith. Due to the absence of an actual grave for many of the men named, the monolith serves as a "mass marker" and participants are authorized to count five of the Patriots buried in unknown locations toward the Patriot Grave marking Medal. 12 FEB 2024

The following biography of Anthony Haden was published anonymously at findagrave.com. I am not the author.
Anthony Haden 'the younger,' was the first known child born to John Haden and Jean Moseley, on 26 Mar 1746, as discovered in the family Bible of John "Jack "Jouett, the "Paul Revere of the South" and father of Elizabeth Lewis (Jouett) Haden, who married Anthony's son - William Dabney Haden. The record also had the marriage dates and names of Anthony's first three wives and their children. Anthony and Jack were also both mentioned in the billing records of Thomas Jefferson, where Jouett had guaranteed payment to Jefferson, for legal work he had done on Haden's behalf.
Anthony grew up on Byrd Creek in Goochland County, and on a northern branch of the Byrd that went by the name of Elk Run in Albemarle/Fluvanna County. About a year before Anthony first married, his father purchased from Arthur Hopkins, 1150 acres on the Rivanna at Dogspoint and Burkes Creek - their next home location. Three years later, Anthony's father had purchased from Samuel Hopkins - the executor of his father Arthur's estate, 2300 additional acres on Cunningham Creek just south of and adjacent to the Dogspoint/Burke Creek tract, that also bordered a 350 acre tract on South Cunningham Creek that Thomas Jefferson was granted in 1763. From 1777 to about 1785, Anthony and his brother William operated a grist mill on the north side of Cunningham Creek, in the same spot where Solitude Mill was built in 1856 and still exists today (see attached pictures).
During the Revolution, Anthony served with his brothers Joseph, William and John Moseley, in the Fluvanna Militia. Captain Anthony Haden along with his younger brother - Captain Joseph Haden, were said to be at the Siege of Yorktown under the comand of Colonel Charles Dabney, when the British commanded by General Charles Cornwallis, were surrounded and surrendered their arms.
In his lifetime, Anthony would buy/sell many properties in Virginia and North Carolina. He would establish at least three home plantations with the use of enslaved labor, and in some cases, indentures as proven below.
Anthony married for a third time shortly after 30 Nov 1787, to Anna (Harris) Dabney - the widow and first cousin of William Dabney (1743-1779). A land transaction places Anthony in Campbell County as early as Jan 1787, close by to his father and youngest brother Benjamin who had also moved there a year or so prior. Anthony and Ann spent about 18 years in Campbell County, when circa 1805, they removed the family for about 7 years to Wilkes County, North Carolina. In the summer of 1812, Anthony likely moved to Kentucky, as his sons from his 3rd marriage - Joel H. and Nathan O. were said to have been married in Bourbon County, Kentucky, in 1812 and 1813; and son William D. was married in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1817. As well, his daughter and son from his 1st marriage, Jane (Haden) Gilbert and John M. Haden, had also moved to Fayette County, Kentucky. By 1820, Anthony and Anna were very likely living with and by sons Nathan O. Haden and Joel H. Haden families, in Christian County, Kentucky, where there is a male and female living in Nathan's household, both born before 1775.

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
