We are descendents of William Henry Cascadden, born 14 Feb 1773 in Drumholm, Donegal Ireland. I've been told he had a brother, Alexander Cascadden. By 1800 he was in Pennsylvania, then by 1810 in Ontario Canada where he died in 1850. Unfortunately we do not know too much about the connection to Ireland other than his place of birth.
