Hi my name is Donna Sargent and I am a desendant of William Mcfadden who was 
in the 100th infantry and after the war he was given land in Goulbourn (Ashton). 
I was wondering if you had any info on him.
He married Anne Boucher she was born in Upper Canada I assume they were both 
military families, they were married here but I cant find out much more. 
Could you tell me where to look? 
I have some info on most of their children but the first was born in 1821 and 
there isn't much info at that time available.
Thank You for any help you can give.
... Donna Sargent

Hi Donna:
 
Thanks for your e-mail regarding William McFadden.
 
According to the book, "For King and Canada - The Story of the 100th Regiment 
of Foot During the War of 1812" by A. Barry Roberts, William joined the 100th 
Regiment in 1811. He had been a weaver in County Tyrone, Ireland.
 
Do you mind if I add your e-mail to our web site (www.bytown.net) as a 
contact for other researchers?
 
Please let me know.
 
Thanks again.

I came across your enquiry regarding William McFadden.  I am a decendent and 
have researched the family line up to the present day.  William McFadden was 
born in 1788, Tyrone Ireland.  He married an Ann Foster also of Tyrone.  
They had 8 children.  William died on Sept. 24, 1881 and is buried in Ashton, ON.  

There is information available in the Goulburn Achives and in the Atlas of 
Carleton County.
 
If you would like to share info. please let me know.
