Hello Karen,
My name is Maya and I'm doing research on the McQuade family as well. I
found your posting, from a few years ago, just came across it. I wanted to
respond to you, but not sure if there is a connection or not.
I know that my McQuade family is from Scotland, not sure what part, but I
should know within the next week or so. I have always been told that we have
Irish ties as well, but have no proof of that at all. I know that families
migrated between Ireland and Scotland quite a bit, so it's very possible.
The names that you listed in your post are similar to names that I have, but
the dates don't work. But, I know that people name people after other family
members, so I'm wondering if there is a connection.
Here is my tree so far, great great grandfather Hugh McQuade marred Ann
McCann and they came from Scotland to America. They had 8 children:
William, Mary, Thomas, Anna, Eva, Lawrence, Albert and John.
John married Mary Cummings and they had 5 children:Hugh, Mary, Ann,
William, and John Joseph.
John Joseph had my mom and aunt and then down to me and my cousins, etc.
Anyway, I couldn't help but notice some similar names and I know that my
family settled in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also, I found a James Russell
McQuade who fought and died in the Vietnam War, he's from the state of
Washington and I wonder if there is a connection for you? He has some
siblings still living that you might be able to get into contact with?
I've found a cousin who might have some valuable information that I'd be
happy to share. Please feel free to correspond and share information and I'd
be happy to do the same.

Good luck in your search and let me know if you think there might be a link
