A wonderful volunteer at the Godfrey Library in Connecticut sent me this, and gave me permission to forward it to you all. I'm still trying to prove Palmer Cady, who married Rebecca Reed in 1812, had time for an earlier wife and a son Ela. I haven't done it yet. The Godfrey specializes in genealogy in and around New England. Their meager funds come from the public. They will do look-ups, if you cite volumes they may have, send photocopies and accept donations. Their URL is http://www.godfrey.org Here's the CADY part of the message: - ------------------------------------- While at Godfrey last week I ran across another neat book that I have never seen before - someone (I think there was a date of 1914 on it somewhere) had painstakingly hand transcribed the vital records of Joseph Fisk, pastor of 2nd Church of Christ in North Stonington, "Breakneck" Church in South Killingly and Cong. Church of Christ in Killingly. It was done in beautiful handwriting in an old ledger book. This area is down in New London County. 2nd Church of Christ, N. Stonington: Nov. 8, 1738: marriage of Aaron Cade to Anna Palmer Nov. 8, 1738: Ebenezer Cade to Prudence Palmer I suspect that these are brothers who married sisters on the same day. This work was not indexed, so I could have missed more Cady references, but the following few were the only ones I saw: Baptisms, "Breakneck Church", S. Killingly: Jesse and Margaret Cady, twins of Barnabas and Margaret Cady, 14 Apr 1752 Sarah Cady, d/o Barnabas and Margaret Cady, 1 May 1755 Baptisms, Church of Christ, Killingly (here I got sloppy and didn't transcribe everything): All children of David and Lois Cady born between 1777-1784: Jadock, Jonathan, Joseph, Jonah, Mary, David, Hervey, Salley 1796 - Kate, d/o Capt. David and Lydia Cady 1795 - Lydia, w/o Bro. David Cady (? - she was getting baptized?) 1794 - Lydia, d/o Capt. David and Lydia Cady 1802 - Mina, d/o Capt. David and Lydia Cady 1801 - children of Josiah and Chlor Cady: Clarissa Cutler, Mary, Lois Cleveland
