Does anyone have any more information on this David M. Carden? Is this son
of John Carden and Cartha Jane Davis, wife of Eleanor Deadwyler? The dates
are similar and my David fought in the war of 1812. If this is the same I
would like to learn more.
Thanks,
Mike

Has anyone found information on what Clan the Scottish Carden line (this
would be the ancestors of David M. Carden (1792-1878 Veteran of War of
1812)) who came to "the colonies" -Goochland Co VA, in the 1600's?
I know through DNA testing from relatives that this particular Carden line
(my ancestors) were orginally of the Scottish Cardens.
From my understanding of history, the Scotts Carden's were
"peers" and
Carden name was originally Celtic and was Anglicanized at some
point before
the 1500's or during that time. I also know Carden Tower is somewhere
outside of Edinbugh, Scotland.
My understanding is the Irish Carden line came to the US in the 1800's...
and that some of the African American Carden's adopted the name Carden from
their "masters" (yes, some Carden's- including David M. Carden- were slave
holders according to the 1850 slave census-- I have the docs attached to my
tree if anyone wants them-- certainly not a proud part of the family history
but a part)...
But, back to the original question- Does anyone know which Scots Clan we
decend from?
