The Haden-Darwin-Wright Connection
1 The Haden-Darwin-Wright Connection (© Phil Tunaley). Introduction There was already a close relationship between the Haden and Wright families even when the original Haden family was based in Wednesbury, West Midlands, Staffordshire. Joseph Wright had painted a portrait of Thomas Haden with Thomas, born Wednesbury 1760, aged between 12 and 16 years and hence placing the year of the painting between 1772.and 1776. ("Portrait of Master Thomas Haden": http://www.artnet.com/artists/joseph-wright-of-derby/portrait-of- master-thomas-haden-YUYoRlyDiZsLjBzl0lWOvA2 ). So Thomas Haden's portrait would have been created 15- 20 years before Joseph Wright painted portraits of Mary Tunaley and the twins Ann and Sarah Haden (born 1788). Indeed the timing (1772-1776) of the painting of Thomas Haden as a boy by Joseph Wright indicate Wright being acquainted not only with the senior members of the Haden family (Thomas's father Joseph (1722-1799) and mother Ann (nee Bunn)) but also, as it transpires, with Thomas’s elder brother Alexander Bunn Haden (1752-1829). The aim of this article is to show how circumstances, some good, some bad, brought the Hadens into contact and later friendship with Erasmus Darwin and the Wright family. Thomas Haden, his father Joseph and elder brother Alexander Bunn Haden Thomas was the third son of Joseph Haden (b. 1722) originally of Old Swinford, Worcestershire and Anne (nee Bunn b. 1733) of Wednesbury, Staffordshire. Joseph’s 1751 marriage to Ann seems to have signalled a permanent move by Joseph to Wednesbury. And, according to records, the Haden-Bunn marriage took place at the then rebuilt (1741) Anglican Church of St. -

EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1922 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DIARY—Vol. I. DIARY—You II. INDEX INTRODUCTION Of the two MS. volumes containing the Diary, of which the following pages are an abstract, it was the second which first came into my hands. It had found its way by some unknown means into the archives in the Offices of the Church of Scotland, Edinburgh ; it had been lent about 1899 to Colonel Milne Home of Wedderburn, who was interested in the district where Ridpath lived, but he died shortly after receiving it. The volume remained in possession of his widow, who transcribed a large portion with the ultimate view of publication, but this was never carried out, and Mrs. Milne Home kindly handed over the volume to me. It was suggested that the Scottish History Society might publish the work as throwing light on the manners and customs of the period, supplementing and where necessary correcting the Autobiography of Alexander Carlyle, the Life and Times of Thomas Somerville, and the brilliant, if prejudiced, sketch of the ecclesiastical and religious life in Scotland in the eighteenth century by Henry Gray Graham in his well-known work. When this proposal was considered it was found that the Treasurer of the Society, Mr. -

Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion
Vol. 4 No. 1_____________________________________ ________________January – March 2007 Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion The oil on canvas painting, General Marion Inviting a British Officer to Share His Meal, by Eutaw Springs artist John Blake White (1781 - 1859), memorializes the “Swamp Fox” sharing his sweet potato dinner with a British officer reported by “Parson” Mason Locke Weems in his highly romanticized The Life of General Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer, in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia. This painting was presented to the United States Senate in 1899. According to the artist’s son, Octavius A. White: “the figure of Marion is a portrait from memory, as my father, when a boy, knew him well. Marion’s farm adjoined the plantation of my grandfather.” If this is true, this is the closest any artistic representation of Marion is to the artist having painted a contemporaneous image of the partisan. For more information on this painting, see the catalogue write-up at http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/artifact/Painting_33_00002.htm. For recent “news” on Oscar Marion, see http://fusilier.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/oscar-marion-is-anonymous-no-longer. The Francis Marion Trail Commission will seek out the documentation and archaeology to sort the myth from the man and to accurately depict the story of the Revolution in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina on those hallowed grounds. 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes Academicians have many academic journals in which to publish articles, but the lay writers are much more limited. -

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - Mikhail S. Gorbachev could not get the United lY N N States to limit "Star Wars" develop iH o a 4 ment and refused Friday t»set a date for a summit with President Reagan to sign pm a ban on medium-range nuclear )09 missiles. 1 SALES A puzzled Secretary of State George P. Shultz brought his report on the collapsed summit hopes to West Euro pean foreign ministers Friday. "I don't know what the problems are,” he told reporters on his flight from Moscow. "They must be significant.” He said pianning for a summit suddenly fell apart when Gorbachev asked him whether a Washington summit meeting with Reagan would produce some sort of agreement in principle on reducing strategic nuclear weapons and curbing Reagan's Stra tegic Defense Initiative program for a space-based defense system. "I said I could not guarantee that at all,” Shultz said, recounting his taiks with the Soviet leader in Moscow. Shultz will report to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization here on Saturday, hold a news conference and then to return to Washington.
