THE STEPHEN J. REDDEN FAMILY OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND
Stephen Vobn Redden of Worcester County, Maryland, was born December 21,
1817 and died September 11, 1901. He is buried in the Goodwill Methodist
Cemetery. He was the son of Nehemie^ Redden and his wife, Patsy Tarr Redden.
Mr. Mark C. Lewis of Parksley, Virginia, who has searched the records at Snow
Hill, Maryland, for information on the Redden and Pilchard families says,
L L "Nehemi a" Redden, son of old Nehemi a, married Patsy Tarr, January l8, l8l4, and
died testate in 1830, leaving all of his lands to his son Stephen. He did not
identify the lands, but the records do not indicate that he ever bought or
sold any lands in his lifetime. So, these lands must have been part of ABERDEEN
devised to him by his father. In confirmation of this conclusion, reference is
made to a deed dated 1844, whereby Patty Redden, widow of Nehemiah Redden, re¬
leased to her sons Purnell and William, all of her third (meaning her dower
interest) in the part of ABERDEEN which had belonged to her husband, Of course,
she could convey only her dower, or life interest, since the entire tract had
been devised to your grandfather, Stephen Redden. We know that the Nehemiah
Redden, who died in 1795> and the John Redden who passed away in 1801 were
brothers. The Peter Redden whose name appears did not leave a will, but it
appears likely that he was another brother. In Snow Hill I found nothing on
the Reddens prior to 1759> 'but there is probably something in Princess Ann."
(Personal Communication, January 21, 1957 to R.S.U.).

It has taken six years to assemble this information. Without doubt it
is incomplete. There are a few dates missing. Probably births have occurred
that have not been recorded. It is interesting to consider that all the persons
in this record are related by blood or marriage, and that the record extends for
two hundred years, over seven generations, from 1759 to 1959 — from Nehemiah
Redden to his latest great-great-great-great-grandchild. Each blood relative
can figure out his own descent from Nehemiah and Patsy Redden, and his first,
second, and third cousins, as well as aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles,
etc.
Where did the Reddens live before 1759 when they came into Worcester
County, Maryland? Perhaps in Somerset County where Peter Redden lived. Perhaps
from Delaware. There is a town of Redden, and also Redden Forest in Delaware
My own theory is that the first Redden was a Dutchman in the Dutch Colony near
Newcastle, Delaware. However, that has not been verified.
The descendants of Nehemiah Redden are now scattered from Maryland to
California. Some families form an Association and appoint a Secretary who keeps
a list of names and addresses of related persons. That has never been done for
the Redden family. I shall be glad to start such a list if you care to send the
information to me.
Two suggestions have come out of this project of writing the genealogy
of the Nehemiah Redden family. It will help your children, and all of
descendants, if you will record Births, Marriages and Deaths in the, f^m e.
Zellah Coulbourne has the best kept Bible of any that I have seen.
point is to make a Will, naming all of your children in it, just as
Redden did.
