Could the "Huel Carden" and William F. Carden's father be the same person?

PENSION APPLICATION YOUEN CARDEN # S8178
Albemarle County
State of Virginia
I, William F. Carden, of the County and State aforesaid, aged fifty three
years old, do hereby certify that my father cannot write his name and upon
looking over his papers I find his name spelt several different ways. I have
seen it spelt Youing, Ewuel, and Eivian. When he lived with Thomas
Jefferson, Engr (late President of the United States) I had the reading of
the notes that Mr. Jefferson sent to him and he seldom spelt his Christian
name twice the same way. Ever since I was old enough to be conversant with
the history of the was of the Revolution, I have often heard my father and
others say he was in the Revolutionary War. He has a scare on his right leg,
which I have often heard him say he received while in the service of his
country, for he always spoke of it with great apparent satisfaction. The
tour he served was in the Light Horse, given under my hand this twenty ninth
day of August 1848.
Wm F. Carden
