Of Scots-Irish ancestry, Euphemia Jackson was born in Co. Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland about 1773. She married William Braden in Enniskillen about 1791 and emigrated with her husband and infant son to America probably in 1793. "Ufama" refused to part with her son following his death so she kept the child with her until the ship arrived in New York City where a Christian burial could be enacted.
Living a short time near Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., PA, the Braden family moved west to Scott Co., KY where they resided until 1822 when they made a permanent relocation to southeastern IN near the newly organized county of Decatur with its county seat named Greensburg.
Euphemia maintained her log homestead for several years following her husband's sudden death, electing to remain in the home until her youngest son was about twelve years old. Only then, did she and her family close up the log home in Fugit Township. "Ufama" and her son John Hall then became a part of the family of her daughter Mary Ann, and son-in-law, John Donnell. As years went by, "Ufama" made her home with one or another of her children.
A devoted Presbyterian all of her life, Euphemia Braden was a charter member of the Clarksburg Presbyterian Church. She died at the age of 94 years near Milford, IN at the home of her son Robert. Mrs. Braden rests peacefully next to her husband, just a short distance from their cherished Indiana homestead.
