Leydon, 1850 IRE-PA-MO-OR

My great-grandmother, Catherine Leydon/Leaden and her siblings were born in/near Philadelphia PA bet. 1850-1866.Their mother died when she was 2 (abt. 1868). I know some of her older siblings names--john, francis, margaret (became a nun) and matthew.Their father took them back to Ireland when his wife passed on and remarried.All of my g-grandma's siblings returned to the US at very young ages.I am wondering if your family might be related.My mom told me of her great-uncle Johnnie Leydon that fought in the Spanish-American War and died in a military hospital in Martinez, CA during the 1960's.According to her, he lived in Oregon previous to his move to Martinez for care.
Please contact me if you think there may be some connection.
