Hi Marjean,
I am always happy to look for you.
The chart does not mention the spelling CASCADDEN.
It does mention a Jane Corscadden (born 1839) who went to live in New York.
What is so interesting is she gives what the family's did for a living, why
they left Ireland: Thomas Corscadden left because his wife (Mary Gartley)
died, and his son Arthur had come over before him. Another son-Andrew
Corscadden married Eliza Loney. Eliza Loney's mother, Margery Cartwright born
near Enniskillon, County of Fermanagh, often spoke of the "press gangs"
kidnapping the young men for the army at the time of the Napoleonic wars. Her
father was a weaver.
Sadie tells about two of the children dying on the ship from "Asiatic
cholera" on the way to Canada.
There are two adoptions mentioned: John Ralph who was legally adopted by John
Thomas. And another one in 1948.
The one in 1948 is the one a lady on the net is trying to find. I am not
getting into that one as it is in the 1900s and I don't want to mess with any
adoption laws.
Another family member invented Syllabic Shorthand, in Chicago.
It is a great chart because of all the history in it, I will try and not bore
you with it all.
I was sent the chart by a living family member of mine in Canada aged 76
years who gave me the contact because she said we were related to the
CORSCADDENS. He in turn sent me Sadie's Chart.
All of this and I don't see where we are related at all.
By the way, Wellington did not send me anything on Lorne CASCADDEN, like I
thought they would. The lady I asked to get the picture of his grave for me,
wrote that she would be gone until mid June. Sometimes this all moves so slow.
I also got some info about Carscaddens / Corscaddens in Saskatchewan, but
nothing for CASCADDEN. Same with all the obits, death registrations, cemetery
index and wills in BC and Alberta, no CASCADDEN.
