James HADDEN b. c1812 Cookstown

I am the great-great grandson of the above James Hadden (see Barry's post on Sunday, November 30, 2008 for a detailed tree). I'm trying to connect him to other Hadden's in Tyrone, and, possibly, ultimately back to East Lothian in Scotland where I believe these Hadden's came from. I currently live in Bangkok, Thailand

Edit: February 11, 2011 2:57 AM
I'm now not sure that my Haddens came from East Lothian, but I do think they came from Scotland originally. If there are any male Haddens out there, please consider taking the 67 marker yDNA test at familytreedna.com - a great (modern) way to confirm connections! thanks
