From Musquodoboit Pioneers by Jennie Reid (1980):
John Braden came from Newry, Ireland, whither his ancestors had fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. They were Huguenots, and they introduced the glove industry into Ireland. In France, their name was spelled Brédon. John’s father or grandfather traded with France and on onee of his trips the ship in which he sailed was captured in one of the wars, and he was carried to Louisburg, Nova Scotia. Whether he was exchanged as a prisoner of war or released when peace was proclaimed is not known, but his knowledge of the New World led his descendant, John to Nova Scotia. John arrived in Halifax about the year 1783, a disbanded soldier. His wife and daughters (Elizabeth and Mary) were at this time in Ireland. Mr. Braden sent for them and after their arrival they lived in Halifax for a few years. Then the family came to Shubenacadie, lived there for awhile and then moved to Middle Musquodoboit. A grant of 500 acres was issued on March 1, 1787 to John Braden. This grant is the property of Elgin Murchy, 1980. Mr. and Mrs. Braden had 4 children after coming to this country. John Braden’s will was filed in 1794 and is in the Court of Probate in Halifax. This Braden history was given to Daniel Reid in 1935 by Mrs. Samuel Hutchinson who was over 90 years of age. Her mind was very clear and her memory excellent. John Braden had 4 daughters and 2 sons.
