I descend from Col. Robert Breckenridge who
was born 1720 in Derry Co., Ireland as was
his father Alexander b 1686 in Derry Co., Ireland who married Jane Preston b 1695 in Lima-Vadey, Londonderry (Derry)Co., Ireland.
After several of the children were born they
moved to Raloo, Antrim Co., Ireland (not that
far apart). Alexander's father was John Breckenridge b. in Ayrshire, Scotland and wife Barbara. Both died in Cloger, Tyrone Co., Ireland. His father was Alexander Breckenridge b. in Bradentrae, Ayreshire, Scotland. and died in 1689 in Cloger, Tyrone
Co., Ireland. Braedalbane mentioned by James
Breckenridge is believed to be the name of Bradentrae. The land there is very simular to
Kentucky. Except not as cold.
