Antrim / Re: PEDEN Hugh b.1628 Scotland d. Antrim (Ballymena?)

This is the most wonderful news!  Thank you so much. :D I will follow it up as best I can. The mere fact that it is confirmation of a brother named Hugh is almost enough for me!

Thanks again. I'll have a good look at Tom Wham. It would seem that most Pedens emigrated to America!  However, some must have remained in N. Ireland. In the 1851 census of Larne, there are still some Pedens noted----they are my forbears.

I found it at padenfamily.org/descendtext.php  The heading was: The Descendancyfor James Pethein.

This is actually a Scottish site so doesn't go beyond BMD in Scotland.  Hope it helps.

Thank you.  :) I found Dunminning Rd. I believe there is a very old graveyard there. While I was at it, I looked up Glenwhirry, a place name that was mentioned as offering shelter to the Rev. Alex.
I know that one should not assume, but it is possible that this is where Hugh and his brother James settled in the mid 1600's.

I'm sure that my Pedens were established in the Ballymena/Larne/Cairncastle area. They were connected by marriage to the Caldwells, Simpsons and Hunters. One site said that Hugh Peden, b.1628 and brother of Rev.Alexander b.1626, settled in the Dunminning area of Ballymena.
Living as I do, thousands of miles from Antrim, I had to try and find it on a map! No luck.
My 4xgreat-grandfather was Dr William Simpson b.1809 Larne(not he of anaesthetic fame). His mother was Elizabeth Peden b. 1777 daughter of Dan Peden b. 1741.
Hopefully there are descendants of Dan Peden who still reside in the Larne area and who could assist me with any information re this family. :)

Thank you so much for your reply.  As you say, it's good to know one is not alone!

I don't know if this will help you at all, but in my searches I found a reference to Pedens in Derry:
In 1796, Rev James Brown did a Church visit in the Colerain/Derry area. There were two Peden families in the same parish:
James and wife Agnus  plus 6 daughters- Ellinor, Martha,Jennet,Elizabeth, Margaret and Isabella.
John and wife Jean plus 2 daughters - Agnus and Jennet.

One could assume that James and John were brothers. Of course, for their line to have carried on they would have had to have a son or two later!

Antrim / PEDEN Hugh b.1628 Scotland d. Antrim (Ballymena?)
« on: Monday 05 August 13 15:21 BST (UK)  »
My 6x great-grandfather(from ancient family bible) was John Peden 1704-1782 who married Helen Caldwell (1693-1774) in Cairncastle.
I am looking for documentation on John's father who might have been a James Peden b. 1654 Antrim.
In turn, I'm looking for James's father who I think might have been Hugh Peden (brother of Alexander 'the Prophet' Peden).
The above James Peden would have been the uncle of John Peden who married Peggy McGill and immigrated to America. I tend to think that 'my' Peden line remained in Ireland. I do know that some of the younger generations did eventually immigrate to America.
Are there any Pedens in Antrim who could help me? Thanks.
