Message Board Post:
I'd like to follow-up on an old posting by BC McK regarding Ann Cadden from 1999. The
AOL address for BC McK (presumably McKenna) is, not surprisingly, no longer good.
Ann was the daughter of John Cadden and Mary O'Neil and emigrated from Ireland circa
1849 (though I have no source for this). She married Patrick McKenna in Rhode Island (in
Valley Falls, RI per BC McK) and they have there first child there, a girl Sarah (about
June, 1860). Patrick is a coal miner and they remove to New York (by 1863) and then to
Stark County Ohio (by 1868). Patrick will died in Ohio in about 1885 and the family will
remove to the Long Island City area of Queens County, New York. Ann will die on 21
November 1899 and be buried in Calvary Cemetary.
I am descended through her daughter Anna Irene McKenna who marries David Van Wickle Wright
circa 1890. I suspect that BC McK descends through James McKenna. I'm interested in
finding support for BC McK's assertion that Ann was from County Caven. It's
plausible but I don't have any support for this.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
