11. SAMUEL (3) IDEN, son of Randall and Margaret (Greenfield) Iden, was born about the year 1730. A search of the minutes of the Richland County Meeting fails to disclose the date of his marriage, but his will, filed in Leesburg, Virginia, calls his wife "Cathron:." His children, at least the eldest of them, were born in Bucks County. A minute of 1/17/1760* states: "This Meeting being informed that Samuel Iden is removed with his family from among us, & settled within the Verge of Fair-fax Monthly Meeting in Virginia without requesting a certificate therefore the Meeting appoints David Roberts and John Dennis to make ye necessary Inquiry into his Affairs & draw a certificate to send after him if they find no obstruction." 6/19/1760** Committee reports no certificate until he comes or sends "to Satisfie his Creditor." 2/18/1762*** Samuel Iden settled in Virginia Several Years Since. . . . repeatedly admonished. . . has misbehaved in Excessive Drinking of Strong Liquors sundry times since his removal .... testification to be drawn." 4/15/1762*. Testification against Samuel Iden 6/17/1762* *. Committee reported having sent a copy to Samuel Iden.

At that time Loudoun County was a part of Fairfax County and was separated from it shortly thereafter. It was most likely that when he came to Virginia to settle, Samuel (3) Iden crossed the Potomac River at a place called Point o' Rocks, which is not far from the town of Leesburg. This part of Virginia must have reminded him of his native Pennsylvania, for it has many of the characteristics of the farm lands of Bucks County.

The Tidewater Region of Virginia was settled by pleasure-loving Englishmen, aristocratic younger sons seeking adventure, high churchmen, party-giving, sport-loving. They had no particular affection for the sober Puritans and Quakers. The latter received no welcome in that section of the state. On the upper Potomac, conditions were different. The rolling hills of the Piedmont section were but sparsely inhabited. It was a new and virgin soil onto which the Quakers settled. It was to this section that Samuel (3) Iden brought his family from Pennsylvania. More about him appears in the next chapter.
