You can find some information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Diamond and http://gailstapestry.com/id83.htm and http://www.cruithni.org.uk/feature/rebellion1798.html James Cunningham (my 2nd great grandfather) is on Griffiths Valuation here: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/details.xml?action=showImag e&mysession=2257288140904&ID=952732&rs=50&width=900&height=680 It seems like there is a large family group in Cashel as well as Castleneeha townlands in Kilcummin.

I do not have a time line on their immigration tho. I will try and dig up what I have and see where it leads.

Stephanie~ You saved me a search through my files for the websites you listed. Not any help for my FADDEN/FAGIN/FADIAN/MCFADDEN ancestors but was helpful to friends who had similar surnames as many listed. Gave them new avenues to research. Will refile. Thanks to a better organized researcher??!!?? Mary Ellen Chambers
