Sandy, thanks so much for posting this biography. I have researched this family, but this biography gave me additional information on Haiden. According to the Edmunds Bible, Haiden died on 24 Feb 1859 at 4:15 PM. The Bible, posted by Martha Harrison, can be found by doing a Google search for "Edmunds Bible KY" There is a question mark by the death year because the page was torn. According to Cave Hill Cemetery online database, Haiden is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville with a burial date of 26 Feb 1859. The Cave Hill burial database can be found: <http://cavehillcemetery.com> Haiden is also listed on www.findagrave.com under Cave Hill Cemetery. Some of his children also listed on the Findagrave page. The Edmunds Bible list a death date of 23 June 1863 for his wife Martha Edmunds Curd. The findagrave page list her death date as 22 June 1868 with no sources given. I have not found her buried in Cave Hill Cemetery. Does anyone know where Martha died and where she is buried?

He was liberal to a > fault; he never deserted a friend, and the poor and hungry never left > his door without their wants having been relieved. Being surveyor of > the county he soon knew nearly all the vacant land, and had it in his > power to appropriate the finest and best for himself. Instead of > doing so he would go to a friend and urge him to take it up for his own use. > > A few years before his death he united himself to the Methodist > church, lived a quiet and good member, and died in the faith. > > Notwithstanding he was born and lived on a farm nearly all his life > he was not a farmer.

After a few years he removed to Glasgow and started > the same business with his brother, A. T. Curd, and James Murrell. > This firm bought or traded largely in tobacco, which they "rafted" to > New Orleans from a point on Green river, near Glasgow. > > In 1830 he was married to Miss Martha A.
