My information source for name for Adam, is speculative. My information for Margaret is conflicting. Her name is either Mary or Margaret. The only records I have for her are census records. There is a marriage record for Elizabeth Arden and Richard C Winter, in Fall River 6 Nov 1861, which I've only just ordered. I believe this to be Margaret/Mary's daughter. If this proves true, then the names are Mary and William (or even William Adam), having shelved my research over the past year. All the other information on the Ardens comes from censuses, Civil War Military records (both John and James served), MN and Red Wing death records, and Red Wing area gravestones. James is buried in Belvidere Cemetery, which I haven't visited yet. Additionally, John's death record incorrectly indicates his wife as his mother's name. This week I hope to get more data on the family's arrival in America.
Simeon's data comes from an extract of some record official record (FHL), but the Town Clerk could not find any record of any Ardens, except for a Mary Arden age two death. I believe this is Margaret/Mary's grandaughter. Will know in a few weeks.
Yes, I've often wondered about Thomas and Louisa Esther [Young] Booth, of whom you must be speaking. The Booths are also living with the Ardens in the 1860 Census, in Fall River, RI, not MA - after which they almost all disappear. In 1862 Fall River, RI was merged with Fall River, MA by order of the Supreme court. I'd like to know more about your research. I've always figured they must be related somehow, also Noel F. and Ellen [Murphy] Allen. You can reach me at yahoo.
BTW an Arden married the last Chief Red Wing of the Sioux tribe, no descendants though, that entire clan is extinct.
