Hi Aidan,
This is my husband's tree which I am researching with some of his relatives, also I
see from past history of this board that you communicated with Pat Clarke re Cavan/Meath
Cadden tree. This is also Pat's tree as his grandfather and my husband's
grandfather were brothers.
I am getting help from my husband's uncle who always remembers his father speaking
about the past Cadden family and he told story of Cadden man and his son who ran a
blacksmiths forge at Lurganboy, Munterconnaught, Co. Cavan. During the rebellion of 1798
they were making pikes for the rebels but were discovered and caught by the yeomen. The
father was hung but the son escaped and the story goes that the father originally came
down from Fermanagh. So this tree is descendent from the son who escaped. This is what I
have been told but I havn't proved it yet. If you look at Griffiths Evaluation for Co.
Meath and Cavan you will see 3 men, Bryan Cadden, blacksmiths forge at Ryefield, Cavan and
land at Ballydurrow, Cavan and Bernard Cadden at Stonefield, Oldcastle, Co. Meath and
Luke Cadden, Newcastle, Oldcastle, Co. Meath. These 3 men are all related as this Luke
Cadden, His father & mother Luke & Annie Cadden, and my husband's grandfather
(grandson of Bernard Cadden) are all bur!
ied in the Cadden Family Plot at Knocktemple old graveyard, Munterconnaught, Cavan.
There is a great new Irish site
www.brsgenealogy.com which went on line mid 2007 and I
have found this to be an enormous help. When I come across the name of the man originally
from Fermanagh who was hung during 1798, I will let you know.
Cheers, Julie.
