Hi there, I know this is an old post but thought I may be able to offer some info since I am researching the same family. I'm also a descendant of Patrick McDunn and Mary O'Donnel . They were my great-great great-grandparents.  What I know is Patrick was born in Westmeath in 1799 to Patrick McCudden and Ann Dealy. McDunn is American and the story goes that a judge told a patrick that no one would be able to pronounce his name let alone spell it, so it was changed to McDunn when they came here (PA) around 1826. Patrick and Mary were married in Rathaspick and Russagh in 1825 and also had their first son Thomas baptized there in Nov 1825. I have this info in my family tree book but I also found a photo copy of the original baptismal and marriage records online. When Thomas was baptized, it says sp. Francis and Rose McCudden. I believe that means they were godparents. I will post a couple links of what I've found
