Quite a few Cadden/Caden appear in the census for Pennsylvania as early as 1830. I think
the majority that arrived in the US were either siblings or cousins as the same names or
used over and over. The Caddens may have come from Ireland through England then into the
US. This may have taken generations. Many of the first names (John, James, Thomas for
example) appear generation after generation. My grandmother's name was Julia Cadden
and her father was Thomas. Please contact me at mopesci(a)bellsouth.net
