Hello, I only have one CADY and it was my GGGGG Grandmother Keziah CADY who was married to Samuel WILEY. They had Martha WILEY who married Stephen B. CLEVELAND. They had Martha Pauline CLEVELAND who married Daniel Southworth VIRGIL. They had Martha Elizabeth VIRGIL who married Thomas BEACH & Reuben JEFFERSON. Martha Elizabeth was my GG Grandmother. Does anyone else have Keziah? All I have is their name. Karen Mentzer ladybug@wanweb.net http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Meadow/5766

Dear List - I am in search of the CADY name because my greatgrandfather's middle name was CADY and it may connect me to someone. George Cady FREDENBERG/BURG/BURGH was born in 1852 in Yates or Stueben County. (They are in the 1850 and 1860 Yates County census, but Bible record says Stueben). He was the 8th child of Anthony and Hannah (?Fox) FREDENBURGH who were residents of Yates County for quite a number of years. Anthony was also born in N.Y. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do courthouse work, but just thought I'd throw the name out to this list on the chance that it might connect in some way. Thank you for your time. The family moved to Macomb County MI by the 1870 census. Dorothy Moreno in MI

I have been waiting for a long time for the Cady name to appear. Hurrah !! In brief I am researching Cadys at Providence,RI from 1800-1825. This may include other area such as Killingly,Ct and Warwick,RI. Recent finds may have narrowed my research to Zebulon Cady who m. Sally (Sarah) Freeman 1797 at the First Baptist Church at Providence. My major focus is on Sally "Sarah" Cady who m. June 17,1820 at Providence to Alexander McFarland. regards to all Cady cousins, john scott-ferree

Cady Kin, I was going to send some more material last night but got busy with other things. I will send more tonight if I get the chance. How many people are out there now? You sure are a quiet bunch ! Come on people lets talk to each other and get to know each other. Hi Shirley! I sent you a message earlier. Hi Sue, I got your message of yesterday and enjoyed reading about you and your ancestors. I must go to work now. Talk to you all later. George Sawyer a descendant of Alanson Cady.

Hi everybody, We're new to this list and so will give you our branch (going backwards in time) and a little of our searches (from memory since I'm not at home where my notes are): My father-in-law was Clarence Cady Hazard, b 1895, Lawn, Nebraska; d 1983, Redlands, CA; siblings Mabel (don't know *anything* about her) and Maude who married __ Blake in No Dakota. Maude had four children; one was killed in WWII, the other three are still living and in ND. Clarence's parents: Jessie Cady of Tipton Grove, Iowa (near Hubbard in Hardin Co) m. John Polk Hazard who was born in Boone Co, Indiana c. 1850 and whose family moved to Missouri after the Civil War (That's all I know about the early life of JPH other than he is related somehow to President Polk. Tradition sez "the family hated [President] Polk's politics so much they turned their name around." … And just what the heck does that mean?!). Jessie left John shortly after the birth of Clarence and went back home to Iowa. John formally divorced her several years later. John remarried in 1914. Jessie married Arby Mealman (date?) and moved with him and Clarence (about 1898) to Anadarko, OK where they worked their way up to having their own cafe, the "Little Gem." Jessie and Arby spent their last days in Davenport, Iowa, near Clarence's home. Jessie's siblings include Frank Prescott Cady who seemed to be close to her; James who died as a young lawyer "with much promise"; J. J. (can't remember his first name -- Jeremiah? Jedediah?!) who apparently went to Oregon (His family info was sent to Jim Cady's book by a Hazel Cady who lived in Oregon.); and the oldest sibling who is female and who married Matthew Wing, a minister. (Besides having a sieve for a memory, I'm also suffering from jet-lag -- I'll update this when I get home next week, but I was eager to get started in a dialogue with y'all.) Perley Philip Cady b in Steuben Co., NY, spent time in Michigan, m. Olive Bradford Prescott (direct descendent of Wm Bradford, gov. of Plymouth Colony) lived in Tipton Grove (Tipton Township). P.P. had land, easy to locate today because there was/is a creek with a prominent bend. Clarence remembered his grandfather as being the postmaster. Upon visiting the area last spring we found out that the USPS only keeps records of appointed postmasters and not "acting" postmasters, so we have surmised that is what P.P. must have been. The present owner of the land, after saying to my husband "Welcome home!", told us the land had once been a stage stop -- a detail we want to follow up on. We parked our mini-motorhome on the land and spent the night (really exciting thing to do!). Olive moved to the town of Hubbard (Hardin Co. seat) after P.P. died. Apparently very recently someone in Hubbard replaced/updated pioneer grave markers and put "Preston P. Cady" on Perley's headstone, an error we hope to get corrected. Going back beyond Perley is in the Cady book. I remember a "Benjamin Cady" somewhere, but that is all that's in the memory bank. My hope is that someone will recognize this branch of the family and have more info on them, especially Frank. We know that Frank was born in Iowa and lived for a time in Nebraska, in the same township as Jessie as he was on the tax rolls. He also filed for a patent in Alliance, the Box Butte Co. seat. He was married and had children (again, that memory bank! Will fill in the blanks in next e-letter). Clarence was sent to live with his Uncle Frank to be able to attend high school in Hubbard, Iowa. When did Frank return home? Why? Clarence never mentioned any of Frank's family but related that Frank suddenly arranged for Clarence to house-sit in the next town. Then Frank "went to Missouri where he died." Where in Missouri? Why to Missouri? There is a possible connection in that John Polk Hazard's family was in Missouri. Looking forward to hearing from someone. Betty Researching Hazard, Cady, Prescott, Bradford, Kawecki, Dob (Dobkowski), Gregonis (Greygonis, Grygonu), Von Derlick, Perlinski, Fox (Fuchs), Bruna

Hi everyone, Again, welcome to the brand-new Cady surname mail list. I would like to encourage each of you to "introduce" yourselves by posting your Cady Family interests to the list. (Thank you, George!) I am Suzanne (Sue) and I live in St. Clair County, Michigan, about 3 miles from the farmhouse that Sarah Cady and her husband Lution Fairfield built about 1870. Sarah lived to be 95 years old and was quite the gal, as I understand. (My dad, who is now 82, remembers her very well.) There are three newspaper articles about her, two are interviews and one is a long obit ("oldest resident dies, etc") and all give differing information! Her death record, reported by her children who were themselves elderly, is sketchy as to her parents' names. >From what I've been able to piece together, Sarah was born in Southbridge, Worcester County, Mass. in 1836. Her parents, August Cady and Helen Lyons, came from the Mass-Conn border area. (The only problem is I can locate no one by those names.) The family traveled to New York State by "ox-drawn covered wagon" when Sarah was a girl. In 1854, she married Lution Fairfield in New York and through 1855 - 1864 they were living in South Pulteney, Steuben County, where their four oldest children, Frank, Charles, Louella and Frances were born. By 1867 they were in Michigan where they had three more children and lived out their years. I am looking forward to hearing from each of you. Sue

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Cady Surname List at Rootsweb! This is a brand-new list, started March 18, 1999. The goals of this list are to facilitate research on the Cady/Cadie surname, regardless of geographic location, and to have fun and fellowship while doing so. You are encouraged to limit the discussions to genealogy, but the subject is a broad one--insights on history and geography, family reunion/family news and like subjects will be welcome. There will be times when one particular line is focused on, or the topics dwindle down, but please stay with us, as tips and tidbits show up at most unexpected times! Please do not send attachments to the list--it won't be able to receive them. When posting a reply, it is a good idea to address it to the list as a whole, rather than privately. That way we will all benefit. Contact me at <suzyfrtz@tir.com> if you have any problems. The Rootsweb site itself contains much interesting information and directions. Above all, this is Your List! Because we are just starting up, our numbers are very small. Let's spread the word to any and all Cady researchers. An introductory note to the list, with the Cadys you are researching, will get things off to a great start. Suzanne Descendant of Sarah H. Cady: Southbridge, MA, Steuben Co. NY & St. Clair, Michigan
