Long Paddy’s eldest daughter, Cassie (Catherine) McCadden, married Michael John Breslin. After they were married Cassie moved to Clarlougheske to the Breslin family home. Cassie and Michael John had eight children, 5 boys (Vincent, Joseph, Edward, Michael, Patrick) and 3 girls (Mary, Kathleen, Bridget). Of these children, Bridget migrated to America (New York) where she married Frank McGuiness, Michael moved to England and Edward moved to County Antrim. Packie moved between Antrim and Donegal. Packie in particular, was a natural historian and had many memories of days past. Mary and Kathleen, also have fond memories of spending their summer holidays in Aghlem with their grandparents, Paddy and Bridget. The rhododendron bushes outside the house were always well kept and there were always plenty of children around to play with on the hill.
