I did some research on Andrew and Thomas - starting with that publication
that you gave me Frank, and hunting from there.  I know Thomas's middle
initial is B, and who the indent holder was for Andrew...  I hired a scottish
genealogy firm to try to hunt down more info on either Andrew or Thomas - 
after reviewing the records they recommended giving it up - there are no
parish records from anywhere in scotland in that time frame that have any
names remotely similar - which they say is not unusual, as that time frame has
few surviving records; many were destroyed.  The only way to find a record is 
if someone stumbles across three hundred year old files in a church crypt
somewhere, or there's another descendant of Thomas who has family
history records of his own.

Here's what I've got in my FTM notes on Andrew:

The following is copied from an unknown publication titled, BRADEN, BREEDEN, AND
BREEDING FAMILIES IN COLONY OF VIRGINIA.
1.1  Families of Culpepper, Madison, Orange and Spotsylvania Counties 

"A record exists that Andrew Breeding, son of Thomas from Scotland, was to serve four
years of indenture for passage to the Colony of Maryland in June 1684. Andrew was twenty
years old was to serve four years of bondage for payment of the trip on the ship Brothers
Adventure.  The ship's master was H. Tregay.  It is believed that Andrew had married when
arriving in America and immigrated southward into the region of Charles River Shire of Virginia.
Refer to the map showing the original eight shires as created by the General Assembly of the
Colony of Virginia in 1634.  This region includes the present day counties of Culpepper,
Madison, Orange and Spotsylvania.  Access to the region was made by using American Indian
trails such as the Seminole trail through northern Virginia along the present day route US 29."

>From "The Complete Book of Immigrants 1607-1776"

"10-17 June 1684.  The following apprenticed in Middlesex to go by the 
Brothers Adventure, Mr. Henry Tragany, to serve in Maryland: John 
Lowdon of Exeter, Devon, shoemaker aged 19, to William Hutchens of 
London, merchant, 5 years; * * *Andrew Breeding of Scotland, aged 20, son of 
Thomas B., to William Haveland, 4 years;* * * Thomas Crampton, husbandman 
aged 22, son of John C. of Manchester, Lancashire, to Henry Tragany of

same, 7 years; John Haster, labourer aged 21, son of John Haster of

Earlier in the book:

"15-21 January 1683.  The following apprenticed in Middlesex to William 
Haveland of St. Katherine by the Tower, merchant, "

William Haveland paid for quite a few people over a few years.  He appears
to have been in London, however.

Note I later asked a friend in London about "St Katherine by the Tower".  Turns out
that's the name of a district in london that's centered around the St. Katherine church,
near the tower of london.
