I just noticed on a map of Donegal the town of Cavan in Killaghtee Parish. My relative Edward (John) SCANLON married Catherine CASSIDY of whom I believe were both from Ardara, Killybegs Lower (information from Griffiths) . From an obituary for Edward SCANLON)Virden, Macoupin County, Illinois) it listed he was from Cavan. I always figured this was Cavan County but I've never been able to find SCANLON'S there. After much research I did find SCANLON"S & CASSIDY families living in the same area in Donegal. Is it possible the Cavan from the obituary is in Donegal? Does anyone have any information regarding Cavan in County Donegal? My Edward SCANLON b. 1846 in Ireland married Maryann QUIN Glasgow 1869. Arrived NY 1873 lived in Scranton, PA (worked as a coal miner) until 1878. From 1880 to 1917 was in Illinois. Thanks, Gwen

Could not match your Scanlon/Cassidy data in the LDS/VRI files but found the followin Scanlon and Cassidys in the Griffith Valuation for Donegal http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hiflyte/iredata/iredata.htm GV data is second from top. Also included the Cavans from Donegal http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/cgi-bin/iresrch Bob Cdn ------------------------------------------------------ Cavan Townlands in Donegal Cavan 126 Donegal Raphoe Clonleigh Strabane Ulster Cavan 85 Donegal Tirhugh Kilbarron Ballyshannon Ulster Cavan 120 Donegal Banagh Killaghtee Donegal Ulster Cavan Lower 434 Donegal Raphoe Donaghmore Stranorlar Ulster Cavan Upper 578 Donegal Raphoe Donaghmore Stranorlar Ulster ====================================== SCANLON* IN DONEGAL FROM GRIFFITHS VALUATION Scanlan Catherine Donegal Clonleigh Letterkenny Road Scanlan Patrick Donegal Clonleigh Lifford Common Scanlan Mervin Donegal Conwal Listack Scanlan James Donegal Donegal Drumbar Scanlan Patrick Donegal Donegal Drumgowan Scanlan Hugh Donegal Drumhome Raneany West Scanlan Daniel Donegal Inishkeel Largnalarkan Scanlan Charles Donegal Inishmacsaint T/Ballyshannon/The West Port Scanlan John Donegal Inishmacsaint T/Ballyshannon/The West Port Scanlan Luke Donegal Inishmacsaint T/Ballyshannon/The West Port Scanlan Ellen Donegal Inishmacsaint T/Ballyshannon/The West Rock Lodgers Scanlan Bryan Donegal Inver Carrakeel Scanlan James Donegal Inver Carrakeel Scanlan Patrick Donegal Inver Coolshangan Scanlan Anne Donegal Inver Drumadart Scanlan Bryan Donegal Inver Drumadart Scanlan John Donegal Kilbarron T/Ballyshannon/Bishop Street Scanlan Andrew Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Catherine Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Daniel Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Ellen Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Hannah Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan James Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Peter Donegal Kilteevoge Ballynaman Scanlan Edward Donegal Kilteevoge Clonclayagh Scanlan Peter Donegal Kilteevoge Clonclayagh Scanlan Dudley Donegal Kilteevoge Galwolie Scanlan Michael Donegal Kilteevoge Glashydevet Scanlan Robert Donegal Kilteevoge Largnalore Scanlan Daniel Donegal Kilteevoge Meenalig Scanlan Jane Donegal Kilteevoge Meenalig Scanlan Michael Donegal Kilteevoge Meenalig Scanlan Daniel Donegal Mintiaghs or Barr of Inch Carroghill Scanlan John Donegal Stranorlar Curraghomongan Scanlan Luke Donegal Stranorlar GlenfinLane,Ballybofey Scanlon John Donegal Killybegs Lower Ardara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CASSIDYS IN DONEGAL (GV Cassidy Samuel Donegal Aughnish Town of Rathmelton - Back Lane Cassidy Charles Donegal Clonmany Urrismenagh Cassidy John Donegal Clonmany Urrismenagh Cassidy John Donegal Conwal Drumanaught Cassidy John Donegal Conwal Glencar Irish Cassidy Samuel Donegal Conwal Glencar Irish Cassidy William Donegal Conwal Glencar Irish Cassidy James Donegal Conwal Gortnavern Cassidy Michael Donegal Desertegny Liafin Cassidy Michael Donegal Desertegny Liafin Cassidy Anne Donegal Donegal Ardatowel Cassidy Cormack Donegal Donegal Birchhill Cassidy John Donegal Donegal Clogher Cassidy Catherine Donegal Donegal Corveen Cassidy James Donegal Donegal Corveen Cassidy ???
