Who are we, really??

After looking in Giles Co TN for a long time, I still do not know the answer to this question, were we Peden's, Peedin's, Peaton's or who?

Dock Peden and wife Rachel White moved from Giles Co to Hopkins Co TX and the name changed to Peaton and Peton.

Dock's parents appear to be William and Demaris (Mary) Peden, but William went by Peaton as did at least one son. On Demaris' obituary the name was spelled Peden.

Elisha appears to be William's father. His name was spelled Peden. His brother, Bryant Howell also went by Peden. In NC where the family seems to have come from before this, the name was Peedin. So if there is anyone in cyberspace who knows the answer to this one, please let me know.
thanks so much

From what I have been able to ascertain, Peden is the original spelling originating in Edinburgh area of Scotland.
