The McCadden family history is one which ties together many people in many different countries. With so many people it can be hard to keep track. However one thing that does tie us all together is the land we have come from. From as far back as can be traced in records to the present day there have been McCadden’s in County Donegal. In fact, they can be traced back to just a cluster of townlands in the parishes of Donegal & Drumhome.
A civil parish was originally a church division, but later evolved into a civil unit of local administration. A parish is further divided into townlands. A townland is the smallest Irish administrative division.
In the parish of Donegal, McCadden's have lived in the townlands of Leghoney (Anthony), Aghlem (Owen, Paddy), Meenadreen (John), Loughkip and Clarlougheske (Cassie).
In the parish of Drumhome there have been McCadden's in the townlands of Stranass (Patrick, Denis), Coolmore and Tully.
