If your father actually knows McFaddens still in Cootehill, we'd love to find a male to take a Y-DNA test, and I believe I could get the Facebook group members to help pay for it.
Perhaps you could ask your father? (I can see he's 87, so may not be all that familiar with the DNA stuff.)Statistics: Posted by SusanFreasRogers — Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:03 am

Last month (April 2016), I found a hand-typed, 1982 compilation (about 100 pages, 8 1/2" x 11") of information entitled "McFadden-Jamison Genealogy" in Citizens Library, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Much of its information was based on two other books, plus family bibles, oral tradition, etc. It provides details on two families -- the McFaddens and the Jamisons -- who both had numerous family members emigrate from Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland to Washington County, Pennsylvania in the late 1700's. (One McFadden came a little later to Philadelphia.)
Most of the McFaddens in Washington County, PA moved to Harrison County, Ohio (most to Cadiz township in that county, some to Nottingham township) in the very early 1800's. There were many McFadden children, and more than 120 McFaddens are buried in Old Cadiz Cemetery. Several of these are written up in a Harrison County history by Hanna (one of the books that was used for the compilation I saw). There are many descendants now, in many states.
I believe my 3G grandfather Joseph McFadden was one of this family, but he moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania rather than to Ohio. His second wife was Mary Jamison (who I have not yet been able to connect to the Jamisons in the McFadden-Jamison Genealogy book). My late uncle Richard Blair McFadden took a Y-DNA test for me before he passed away, and after I am able to test another McFadden I've identified here in California as from the Ohio McFaddens, I believe I will be able to connect my line to this group from County Cavan.
The compiler of the McFadden-Jamison Genealogy (now passed away) gave permission (in the book) for anyone to copy it, and I now have my own copy. The genealogy librarian at Citizen's Library sent the book out to me on Inter-Library Loan, and she may do the same for anyone else who wants to see it.
I hope this information will motivate others to see if they can connect to this line. Anyone with McFaddens in western Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Ohio and West Virginia are especially encouraged to research this line. Although the compiler of the McFadden-Jamison Genealogy points out that none of her sources are vital records and that dates are often differently recorded, the preponderance of material appears to show a clear connection back to Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland in the late 1700's -- a rare find indeed for anyone doing Irish genealogy research.
