BREEDEN/BREEDING FAMILY:
|
According to Dr. King's, History of Maries County, most of the Maries County Breeden's were descended from two sons of John William Breeden and a Forrester. The Forrester woman was his second wife. John Breeden married Cordelia Rowden, 11/14/1869. (1st Wife) Those two sons from the 2nd marriage were: William Breeden who married Louisa J. Helton. Abraham R. Breeden who married two Nancys: 1st Nancy Helton. Then he married Nancy Copeland (Shockley). I will try to keep up with these particular Breedens in Census, Cemetery & any other available records.

(I believe this is Abraham's Breeden's son also) Laura I. Breedon to Ashley "John" Stevens, 12/6/1885. (William S. & Louisa J. Breeden's dau) Summary: The Breeden/Breeding families had itchy feet and move around a lot. They lived in Maries, Miller, Greene, Shannon, and Jasper Counties and others. I believe they are all pretty much related whether they spell their name Breeden/Breeding or whatever. I believe they were all drawn here by the Forester/Forrester family from Tennessee. I know of one family that the children spread into 4 counties. It is believed that all the Breeden/Breedings are descendants of Elijah Breeding who probably migrated from Virginia to Tennessee and then he and his son John came to Missouri. I believe other sons of Elijah came later. The descendants living in Maries County, I believe, are descendants of John Breeden. =================MILLER COUNTY================== 1880 census: (Richwood Twp) MILLER COUNTY Patsey Breeden age 84 (S.C.) (living with her daugher & son-in-law, Elijah & Martha Groves) In the 1850 census: MILLER COUNTY John Breeden age 52 (Tn) (I believe this is Elijah's son) Elizabeth age 37 (Tn) Rachel age 13 (Mo) Thomas Breeden married Judy Crismon, 8/15/1856. ================================================= According to Dr. King's book, John Breeden had the following children. You can compare this information with the census information herewith. 1. Joseph Frost Breeden who married Margaret Williams in Tenn. There children were sons Louis Rowland Breeden & John Williams Breeden. The girls were, Hannah & Sarah. After Margaret died Joseph married Mary Wherry. They had one daughter who married a Quincy Harmon from Okla. Louis Roland married Elizabeth Malissa Forrester and had one son A. D. Breeden. 2. John Williams Breeden married Cordelia Rowden. They had 12 children Margaret, Eusevia, Robert, Clinton, Charles R., George, Joseph, Mrs. Robert Skidmore, Dolly, Nina, Levilla, and Eva. John married a second time to a Forrester. they had 5 children, Nancy who married Thomas Crawford, Hannah married Sam Woolsey. the daughter married William Helton, The two sons were Abraham R. & William Breeden. These two are the big players in the Maries County scene. My parents lived around the Breedens at Brinktown and at Myerstown. I have heard that name all my life and it was always respectfully. You will find the Breeden/Breedings at: Rader Cemetery, Vienna Public, Vaughan Cemetery, Crismon Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, Carnes Cemetery and James Cemetery. DeVere |
