I hesitate to let this information out because from searching the web everyone is believing V. Gilmore Iden whose research was not all that great. I am a descendant of John Frederick Iden through his grandson Samuel s/o Randall. About twenty years ago I was searching Bucks County, PA parish records on an LDS film and came across the following:

Abington Friends Monthly Meeting

John Frederick Iden d. 6.12.1694 and ______ Iden

Issue:

Ann b. 12.25.1679/80 at Hamberg German
John Henry b. 8.6.1684 d. 1.4.1755
Dorothy b. 11.1.1686/7 Hamberg Germany
Susannah b. 8.25.1688
Rosemond b. 7.9.1692
Hyeronymus b. 1.17.1694 on shipboard before Plymouth, England (our ancestor???)

Hannah Iden died 12.2.1743 w/o John Iden and daughter of jacob Simcock 50 years 5 months
Mary Iden d. 10.15.1747, 49 years 8 months 4 days, buried Chiltenham w/o John Iden and dau of Joseph Mather.
Elizabeth d. 1.22.1767 of Abington

Unfortunately I did not write down the film number - but this really needs to be verified. As I see it everyone has blindly accepted V. Gilmore Iden's research.

I have also found a marriage for Samuel Iden s/o Randall (Hyeronymous) to Anna Catherine Loch dau of Jacob. They had a daughter, Johanna, baptized at Keller's Lutheran Church, Bedminster Twp, Bucks County, PA in 1751. The father was listed as Samuel Eiden (English Quasker).

I sincerely believe that our Idens were German not English. I hope I have not opened Pandora's box here.

Hi Barbara,
I am very interested in the information you found on the early Idens in Bucks county, Penn. Although the family must have come to Penn from Hamburg, Germany; I think it is also quite possible that they had moved from England to Germany just as our history books told us the "Pilgrims" went first to Holland to escape religious persecution in England before sailing from Plymouth to Mass. I base this opinion, and that is all it is, on the statement in the baptismal record of Johanna (could she be the Hannah in his will?) that the father was listed as Samuel Eiden (English Quasker). I know Wm Penn journeyed to Germany to solicit people to join his colony. My Castleberry (Kesselberg) grandparents turned out to be descended from German Mennonites and settled in Germantown, Penn abt 1700.
I am happy to get the full name of Samuel's wife. This fits with their son, Jacob's name. My husband's family descends from their daughter Sabilla Claypole and her son George Washington Iden. I agree this certainly deserves some serious research.
I'd like to keep in touch with you about any further revelations you or I can dig up.
Margaret
