Hello Kristin,
Your posting interested me greatly. Clara Cade is listed in a Fairbrother family birthday
book and I've been trying to identify her.
My birthday book has Clara Cade's birthdate being 2 May 1860 and death on 21 Oct
1918.
In 1860 she is listed living with David and Eliza Ford in Washington, Macomb, Michigan
Census as Clara(cy) Winship. Eliza Ford was Candis Winship's mother.
In 1870 Clara Cade is living in Imlay City, Lapeer County, Michigan. Still with David and
Eliza (Orpha) Ford. She is listed under the name of Clara Ford on this census.
By 1880 Clara Cade has married David Cade. Thomas Cade has been born. They are living in
Mussey, St. Clair, Michigan. On the same census page, is her Uncle Alonzo Fairbrother and
grandmother Eliza Ford. Alonzo Fairbrother is Candis (Fairbrother) Winship's brother.
Eliza Ford's first husband was Edwin Fairbrother.
In 1910 David and Clara Cade show at least one other child, Florence (age 18). They are
all still living in Mussey, St. Clair County, Michigan.
