I am looking for information on my gg grandfather Samuel Braiden (may also be Bredin or Braden), born in Skeagh, Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland (dates differ, 1826 or 1829). My records indicate that he married Margaret Jane Graham while still in Ireland. However I have recently obtained his obituary which says he was married in Wheeling, Ohio County, WV on May 2, 1855. I hope to verify this information.

In a related inquiry, Samuel's brother Edward was said to have settled in Wheeling, but I have nothing to document this. He was said to have become "prosperous" but never communicated with his family. He was also born in Ireland in Nov. of 1830.

Any information on either of these individuals would be greatly appreciated.
