Listed with Gilbert McCadam were, John Gilmore, William and John Martine, Alex Page, John Foster, Peter Hill, John Crafford,
Gilbert Willson, Robert Donaldson, and others. In the 24 townlands covering a roll of 167 names in this record only the
Campbells, Hills and Wilson can be found today. Several names which become extinct are preserved by the recollection
of family relationship or association with places - such as Logan, Gillis, Smiley, M'Cullough, McAdam, Boyle, Baxter, Lock,
Gordon, Davision, M'Cargo and M'Kinlay. The large proportion of today residents are descendants of later settlers.

Cloncore


The Cloncore McAdam family is documented as came to Ireland during the Cromwell time with the McClelland and Best Families. Evendience is strong that this branch came from Kirkcudbright area including Dumfries and Wigtown area of Scotland. They apperar to link into the Hanney and McClendon familes of the area.

Patricia Rawlings sent all the records that she has for births, marriages
and deaths of the McAdam in County Armagh that she has found in her search for the family of Henry and
Maryanne McAdam of Cloncore. She hopes that these records can be of some assistance to others. These
records are from the Ulster Historical Foundation search report which was compiled sometime in the 1970's
for a deceased member of her family which was found in some old papers and sent to her.
