Hayden vs Haden

Check the Haydens, too!

Rebecca, You are absolutely correct.In my case, my ancestor's name is Moorman Hayden EIDSON (My 3G Grandfather).........the Hayden name came from his maternal grandmother's maiden name -- HADEN (Jane Haden, b. 1757, d. bef 1789).I don't know why "Hayden's" parents spelled his name with a "Y", but they did.The genealogy confusion which resulted because of the minor spelling difference between HAYDEN and HADEN took me a long time to unravel.
Best wishes,
