This family descends from the famous O'Neil clan of McQUADE Ireland and trace their his- tory back to the tenth century. The Amer- ican head of the family is Anthony McQuade, born in county Fermanagh, Ireland, son of Peter and Susan (McDermott) McQuade, grandson of Anthony and Catherine (Mc- Nabb ) McQuade, great-grandson of Raymond and Saralı (McKeough) McQuade. The family was originally seated in county Ty- rone, Mac Cathmhaoil of Cinel-Fearadhaigh, pronounced Mac Cawell of Kinel-Farry, being
the ancestral name of the MeQuades of Ty- rone. Authorities: "Annals of Ireland," by the Four Masters; "Annals of Ulster, ' pub- lished by authority of the British Govern- ment ; "O'Neills of Ulster," by Matthews.
The territory of Cinel-learadhaigh, the patrimonial inheritance of the Mac Cathmha- oil, the descendants of Fergal, son of Muiread- hach (Murrough), son of Enghan (Owen), son of Niall of the Nine Hostages (monarch of Ireland), was nearly co-extensive with the barony of Clogher in county of Tyr ne.
The Cinel-Fearadhaigh, viz .: the Clan- Aengus (Magennis), Clan-Duibhinreacht, Clan-Fogarty, all of Tyrone, and the Hy Ken- noda (Kennedy) and the Clan-Colla, both of Fermanagh, were under the leadership of Mac Cathmhaoil, Lord of Cinel-Fearadhaigh. The IIy-Kennoda gave name to the barony of Tir- kennedy in the cast of Fermanagh, adjoining the barony of Clogher in Tyrone.
The family of Mac Cathmhaoil, a name gen- erally anglicized to Mac Cawell or Mac Cagli- well, and Latinized Cavellus, who supplied several bishops to the See of Clogher, are still numerotts in their ancient territory (southern Tyrone and northern Fermanagh), and the name is found in other counties anglicized variously as Campbell, Caulfield, and Howell.
From "O'Neills of Ulster": O'Duggan in his topographical poem written about A.D. 1350, describing the ruling tribes of Ulster, says :
