Hi Steve, Re your posting about Thomas Cady & Adelia Fifield, who married in Michigan c 1850: This rang a far-off bell with me, only because the surnames are almost exactly those of my great-greats: Sarah H. Cady and Lution Fairfield. (I believe that "Fifield" has to be a corruption of "Fairfield.") Sarah and Lution were married in New York State in 1854 and lived in Steuben County until they emigrated to St. Clair County, Michigan about 1864. I know nothing about the families of these two, except that Lution's parents were John Fairfield & Lydia Dodge, from Woodstock, Windham County, Conn., and Sarah's parents were thought to be August Cady & Helen Lyons from Southbridge, Mass. I understand that neither Fairfield or Cady were especially common, and I can't help but wonder if there is a relationship some where. Do you know where in Michigan Thomas & Adelia married? Also, I encourage everyone to post responses to the list--that way we can all benefit! Thanks for your post, Sue Descendent of Sarah H. Cady
