An alternate spelling for his last name has been noted to be "Eken."
THE AIKEN FAMILY. The first members of the Aiken family of which this source will treat-the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, line-were David and George Aiken, brothers, both natives of county Antrim, Northern Ireland. David came to this country prior to 1814, and some years before his brother came. He settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, purchasing land which he cleared from heavy timber, which at that day was of little value, but his descendants are now reaping the benefits of his wise selection, as well as the years of hard toil he spent in subduing this land from the forest state. This land is situated in what is now known as between Fifth Avenue and the Pennsylvania Railroad, from Neville to Aiken Avenues. He married Rachel Castleman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they were the parents of one child, Rachel, who married her cousin, Thomas Aiken, son of George Aiken, one of the two brothers who first settled in America.
