Dear Shirley,
Ships List show all these names pretty much as they were spelled in South Carolina records.I have seen the Peden/Paden name misspelled as payton, even paddon on census records, but it is accepted that the names as our immigrants used in this case is accurate, from their leaving Ireland to the early years in South Carolina.Peden was changed in the 1800's to Paden by some branches that went South.Also I have met cousins of my Storment line who spell their name Stormont, etc. now, so some changes also took place as they moved from South Carolina.
