How's that for a book title! For you folks mentioning Michigan in connection with Cady families, this is taken from the Hardin Co. book: p 305. James F. Cady was born at Lamont, Ottawa county, Michigan, July 11, 1855. He is the oldest son of Pearly [sic] P. and Olive B. Cady. His father is a native of the State of New York; his mother, a daughter of Jeremiah Prescott, is a native of the State of Maine. . . . [James became a lawyer, but died 23 Feb. 1885 without having married. He is buried in Hubbard, Iowa.] p 883. P. P. [Perley Philip] Cady was born in Steuben county, New York, October 24, 1817. . . . In 1839 he moved to Oakland county, Michigan, and remained there about five years. From 1842 to 1851 he spent in the western part of Michigan, teaching at the Indian Mission, at the present site of Grand Rapids, excepting 1846 and 1847, which spent in Chicago, engaged in the lumber trade. In 1848 he was married to Miss Olive B. Prescott, a native of Maine. In 1851 he settled in Alamakee county, Iowa . . .. [P. P. and Olive are also buried in Hubbard, and all three share a head stone. This stone in incorrectly labeled "Preston" instead of "Perley", why or how, we don't know.] James' siblings were Ellen M., Jeremiah Judson, Jessie A., and Frank Prescott. The book also mentions an adopted daughter, Mary A. If anyone can plug into any of this info, lemme know. Maybe there is a relationship. :-) Betty Researching Bruna, Cady, Dobkowski (Dob), Fox (Fuchs), Gregonis (Gre/aygonis-UK, Grygonu), Hazard, Kawecki, Perlinski, Polk, Prescott, Von Derlick
