William Braden married Euphemia Jackson about 1791 in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland. The couple emigrated to America about 1793, arriving in New York City bearing the body of their deceased infant son. The grieving parents made certain that their child had a Christian burial during their short stay in New York.
For a while, the Bradens resided in Derry Township of Westmoreland Co., PA. Two sons and a daughter were born near Greensburg, PA before the family relocated in Scott Co., KY. Tax records of Scott Co., prove that the Bradens were in this place from at least 1808 until 1822. Seven additional children were born in KY.
In 1821, William made a trip north to Indiana where he "entered" on two 80 acre tracts of fertile land that would become Fugit Township of Decatur Co. The county seat, Greensburg, had recently been founded by friends from his previous home in PA.
The family soon was moved north, building a large comfortable two-story farm house from logs on their new homestead. Soon the villages of Kingston and Clarksburg took shape within a short distance of the Braden home.
Developing a "fever" from which he was unable to recover, William Braden died at the age of 55 years in the fall of 1825 and was laid to rest in the cemetery of the newly organized Springhill Presbyterian church, the third person to be buried there.
William and Euphemia were parents of eleven children, nine of whom survived to maturity.
