The simple answer is yes and no.
A large portion of the Breeding family changed the name to Breeden / Brading / Braden / Breedon / Bredon / Bredon over time. I've found a few instances of Breaden / Breading / Briden / Bruden and Breedan but those have been for a limited use.
In early US records the "ing" on the name was pronounced as "en".
My particular line is off of Richard "Cross" Breeding but in researching my line I have tracked a lot of Bryant Breeding's line.
You don't mention any descendents of Bryant so I'm not sure which line your coming off of but the name changes seem to run on each family group I have traced. With some of the name changes occuring within the same households. ie one son uses the Breeding spelling while another uses Breeden.
Are all Breeden / Breedings releated? That one's more difficult to answer. Possibly if one can trace far enough back but unlickely. One group desecends from the Von Breden's of German ancestry, another claims heritage from Breedon-on-the-Hill area in England.
I've heard of the Von Breden name moving into England and changing but it's so far back I haven't found any proof of it.
