Chandra,
My name is Kim. Do you know what your great grandfather's name was? Cause there are definitely 2 Headen men that came out of Bear Creek, Robert and Irvin Headen. However there is a larger group of Headens from Siler that look similar to the BC Headens and intermarried at some point. But the original Headens (fathered by George Hanner) came out of Bear Creek. Hanner gave Dorcas Headen a parcel of land after freedom and that grew into what is currently my grandparent's farm It's on Hwy 902 just past Chatham High and the back ends on HWy 422 behind TC Marsh cemetery (whose sister married Robert Headen) and Centennial Zion AME Church. Feel free to email privately if you like...I am sure we are family (I am also connected to the Alston's as well).
