★ Jun 1744: Anthony of King William [St. John's Parish] bought 200 acres from THOMAS STONE on Great Byrd Creek, was likely his father's home plantation.
★ Apr 1749: Anthony adds to 19 Nov 1745 purchase, buying 50 more acres from EDWARD RICE. These two properties were eventually inherited by Zachariah.
★ 24 May 1759: WILLIAM GILES sold to ZACHARIAH HADEN → 1/2 tract granted by LORD GRANVILLE to WILLIAM GILES containing 529 acres dated 8 Nov 1757. Zachariah will own this tract until 1784, when he sells it to RICHMOND PEARSON - THE HUSBAND of SALLY HADEN → niece of Zachariah and d/o Joseph Haden who had moved to North Carolina to live by their brother WILLIAM HADEN, in 1777. This tract seems to be very close to William's & Joseph's original acreage that was also located in the "Fork of the Yadkins" and may have been worked by them as well as their own properties, since there's no evidence Zachariah ever lived there for an extended period of time.
★ May 1769: Edward Rice's will shows that Zachariah is living on his father's home plantation on Byrd Creek which was purchased by Anthony, in Nov 1745 and April 1749.

★ 17 Oct 1774: Zachariah sold Byrd Crk homestead [inherited from father Anthony] to [COL.] JOHN HOPKINS (1726-1807) [brother of WILLIAM HOPKINS who married Zachariah's niece - Mary - dau of John Haden] . . . "for £120, a tract of land containing 250 acres in the county of Goochland on the Great Byrd Creek, being formerly purchased by ANTHONY HADEN, in two separate parcels, the one of THOMAS STONE containing two hundred Acres, and the other of EDWARD RICE Containing Fifty Acres Both granted to the said Anthony by Indentures of Bargain and sale Recorded in Goochland Court and by the said Anthony Devised to his son Zachariah Haden, the present Granter thereof.

Even though Zachariah likely never lived in North Carolina for any meaningful period of time, this record likely explains at least a part of the incentive or motive for his brothers - William's & Joseph's removals to the Yadkin River area in North Carolina, at approximately the same time.

★ Jun 1744: Anthony of King William [St. John's Parish] bought 200 acres from THOMAS STONE on Great Byrd Creek, was likely his father's home plantation.
★ Apr 1749: Anthony adds to 19 Nov 1745 purchase, buying 50 more acres from EDWARD RICE. These two properties were eventually inherited by Zachariah.
★ 24 May 1759: WILLIAM GILES sold to ZACHARIAH HADEN → 1/2 tract granted by LORD GRANVILLE to WILLIAM GILES containing 529 acres dated 8 Nov 1757. Zachariah will own this tract until 1784, when he sells it to RICHMOND PEARSON - THE HUSBAND of SALLY HADEN → niece of Zachariah and d/o Joseph Haden who had moved to North Carolina to live by their brother WILLIAM HADEN, in 1777. This tract seems to be very close to William's & Joseph's original acreage that was also located in the "Fork of the Yadkins" and may have been worked by them as well as their own properties, since there's no evidence Zachariah ever lived there for an extended period of time.
★ May 1769: Edward Rice's will shows that Zachariah is living on his father's home plantation on Byrd Creek which was purchased by Anthony, in Nov 1745 and April 1749.
★ 18 Jul 1772: EDMUND HODGES to ZACHARIAH HADEN. £320, for 665 acres. On

★ 17 Oct 1774: Zachariah sold Byrd Crk homestead [inherited from father Anthony] to [COL.] JOHN HOPKINS (1726-1807) [brother of WILLIAM HOPKINS who married Zachariah's niece - Mary - dau of John Haden] . . . "for £120, a tract of land containing 250 acres in the county of Goochland on the Great Byrd Creek, being formerly purchased by ANTHONY HADEN, in two separate parcels, the one of THOMAS STONE containing two hundred Acres, and the other of EDWARD RICE Containing Fifty Acres Both granted to the said Anthony by Indentures of Bargain and sale Recorded in Goochland Court and by the said Anthony Devised to his son Zachariah Haden, the present Granter thereof.

There is a plantation thereon sufficient to work seven or eight hands to advantage, a convenient dwelling and other out houses, all lately built, and tolerable good orchards. My price is four hundred pounds, payable in negroes and horses. Any person inclinable to treat for the same will please to apply to me, on the premises. ZACHARIAH HADEN Virginia Gazette, p.4, col. 1 Colonial Williamsburg website. This would be the same 665 acres purchased above on 18 Jul 1772, and which also had been involved in a lawsuit that Thomas Jefferson had handled for Zachariah in July 1773 (see above).
★ 26 Oct 1784: ZACHARIAH HADEN of Goochland Co VA, [sold] to RICHMOND PEARSON for £350, land on SW side of Yadkin River adj McCULLOH, WILLIAM GILES, PHILLIP WILLIAMS, being 1/2 tract granted by LORD GRANVILLE to WILLIAM GILES containing 529 acres dated 8 Nov 1757, WHO SOLD IT TO HADEN - 24 May 1759. Even though Zachariah likely never lived in North Carolina for any meaningful period of time, this record likely explains at least a part of the incentive or motive for his brothers - William's & Joseph's removals to the Yadkin River area in North Carolina, at approximately the same time.
★ 9 Oct 1786: ARCHER PAYNE & MARTHA his wife to ZACHARIAH HADEN, all of Goochland Co. Sum of 250£ paid by Zachariah Haden. Archer & Martha Payne have a right to dispose of this tract under the will of her deceased father, LYING BOTH SIDES THREE CHOPT ROAD and is the land on which WILLIAM GROOM and SARAH THOMAS did dwell and is bounded by the lines of JOHN LAWRENCE, DRURY HATCHER, WILLIAM TOWLER, WILLIAM RUTHERFORD, JOHN SLAYDON & WILLIAM ISBELL, according to well known and established boundaries, containing 260 acres.

Gratitude and credit to Kay Haden for her insightful compilation, Leaves of the Tree where she has documented in expanded detail upon Dorothy Kabler Haden's work, John Haden of Virginia (1968). Much of this biography incorporates Kay's thorough analysis of facts and tradition, which has been instrumental in narrowing down the resting place of Zachariah Haden and his kin.
