Sorry for the delay in getting back with on, but i had been on vacation. I believe that Jeremiah was Dradith's brother also. I do know that Avery had 2 sons listed on the 1830 census. I believe these son's to be Jeremiah and John. On these census their last names are spelled 'Cazee'. I have a list from Ancestry that shows John Kozee was born in 1830. If this is true then Jeremiah would more then likely be the oldest because on the 1840 census, A.(Avery) Cazee is listed a having only 1 son and 4 daughters. There is a Jer. Cazee and (I assume his wife), are listed on the 1840 census. I have traced Jeremiah from Carter co, to Lawrence co., to Johnson Co. KY. Dradith has been harder to trace. Her name is not mentioned anywhere, until the 1850 census, where it shows her married to John Jordan. Their childre are listed as: Fleming, Elisha, Jeremiah, and Elizebeth Jordan. John Jordan dies in 1852, about 6 months before their 5th and last child is born. They had 5 children total. Elizabeth, their only girl was my great grandmother. By 1860 Dradith had remarried to a Robert Griffith who also was a widower with several children. On the 1860 Census the children, except for the oldest son and the youngest son, were living with relatives. Elizabeth, age 12 was living with Avery and his wife Elizabeth. Elisha was living with Francis Kezee, the widow of John Kezee, ( whom I believe to be Dradiths brother). Jeremiah was living with John and Phoebe Hix's house. Phoebe I believe was Dradith's sister. Phoebe was born in 1841. Dradith's name, as with the name Kazee, has been hard to trace because of the various spellings. Dradith has been spelled, Dradith, Druda, Juda, Dready. Elizabeth Jordan was living back with Robert and Dradith on the 1870 Census. She has an illigimate son, whom she named James Jordan. She married my great grandfather, Thomas Campbell in 1872. They had only one daughter from what I can tell. They named her Dready, after Elizabeth's mother. I know this is a lot of info and some you may not need. I hope I have helped some. If you have any additional information I would would welcome it very much. Thanks Cheryl cherleadford@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
