Notes
Note
Still working on this branch of the family tree - some of the connections I've made are assumptions! The name McFadyen is linked to the Islands of Mull and Coll in Scotland. The name appears as MacPhaiden, McFadzean, MacFadyen, McFadden, MacFadden, McPatton, McFadgeon, McFadern, McFayden etc. According to one source, they backed the wrong candidate to be King of Scotland, and lost Mull to the McLeans, Hector and Laughlin.
John McFadyen emigrated from Mull, Argyleshire, Scotland in 1808 and settled in the Clyde River area, according to an article in the Charlottetown Guardian, written on the occasion of his descendant Hector McFadyen's 100th birthday. "Hector McFadyen was born January 1, 1810, two years after his father John McFadyen and his brother Alexander arrived from Mull, Argylshire, Scotland. From these two families have sprung the numerous progeny of McFadyens in the vicinity as well as Darrachs, Clyde River, McLeans, Desable, and many others."
Catherine McFadyen married John Darrach, and might be the Darrachs of Clyde River mentioned above. She was age 75 in the 1881 census, living with her son John.
Catherine wife of John Darrach d. December 7 1884 at 73 buried Clyde River/Burnside.
She was probably a daughter of one of the two brothers, John or Alexander - the names of her children fit - Alexander, Hector, John, and Angus. I am placing her with John.
DNA - possible 5-8th cousin, through Catherine.
