Hi List Not strictly Scoth-Irish this one. I have a John McFaden and Patrick McCallum, both from Argyll. I know for certain that the McFadens were in Donegal 1798, from childrens death certificates etc. I suspect both McFaden and McCallum were in the 94th Argyllshire Highlanders. They both had children born in Ireland, some of whom married and returned with their own families to Scotland about 1842. Are there any McFaden (McFayden, McPhaiden), out there that might be connected Janette
