Historical Notes on the Madden Name
The family of O'Madden, of Ui Maine, can be found on the banks
of the Shannon River. Their territory included parts of the barony
of Longford in Co. Galway, and the barony of Garrycastle in Kings
Co. (Co. Offaly)....
In Keatings History "O'Madagain or O'Madadhain Anglicized O'Madden"
was given in Longford barony and on the other side of the Shannon in
the parish of Lusmagh in Kings Co.. They are given as a branch of the
Clan Colla, of the same descent as the O'Kellys, princes of the Ui Maine.
It should be noted that there are English families of the name, and
Maddentown in Co. Kildare is named for the same.
