I am trying to track down information on
Phidelia Carter Cady
b. Dec. 16, 1815 in the State of New York.
Her parents were both from Rhode Island
Married July 17, 1834 to Charles R. Cady (1810 - 1890) in the State of New York
From 1850 to 1880, Census documents show her living in Ypsilanti,
Washtenaw, MI
Her first name is given alternately as "Phidelia",
"Fidelia" and "Ida" (a nickname).
The 1880 census is the last record that I have found.
Her children are:
. Elizabeth Cady 1837 -
. Otis Hiram Cady 1839 - 1918
. Amanda A Cady 1841 - 1872
. Charles J Homer Cady 1843 - 1910
. Dewayne Duane Cady 1845 -
. Dewitt Cady 1845 - 1860
. Mary L Cady 1848 -
. Nellie Cady 1850 -
. Vinita Cady 1850 -
. Roger W Cady 1857 - 1939
I am descended from her youngest son, Roger W. Cady, who wound up living in Minneapolis,
MN. His death record shows his mother as "Phidelia Carter Cady" (n.b.
spelling).
She is often mistakenly listed as "Fidelia E. Ida" in family trees.
I don't know where this misinformation started, but it is a genealogy virus, and has
been copied repeatedly without documentation.
I am hoping to find the names of her parents, as well as the year and place of her death.
Her husband, Charles died in Ypsilanti 1890.
