Dear R.J.,
Thanks for your note.I checked my files and see no such John Aiken in the family of James Aiken.There was a son named John who was born in County Antrim in 1769, and lived and died in Little River settlement, Fairfield Co., SC, marrying Betsey.I believe all the Aiken's originated in Scotland, with my James' family spending a generation or two in Ireland in the Ulster region before moving to America.It is likely all the Aikens have a common family in Scotland many generations back, but I can't prove it.
