Message Board Post:
Charles R. Cady (b.1810, New York - d.12JUN 1890 Ypsilanti, Washtenaw, Michigan, United
States) was married to a woman named Phidelia.
My family bible record says that her last name was "Carter" - and yet almost
every family tree that I can find here says that her last name was "Ida" -
though with no documentation to back that up.
I know that "Ida" is a nickname for "Phidelia", and I find it unlikely
that her name was Ida Ida.
I believe that the last name "Ida" is a mistake that has spread through the
ancestry.com world due to lack of research and/or documentation for poor Phidelia.
Can anybody back me up on this?
Does anyone have documentation for either the last name "Ida" or
"Carter" for the Phidelia that was married to this Charles R. Cady?
They had a whole bunch of children (see my Atwood/Nelson tree)and I would think that
someone, somewhere would be able to settle this.
Thanks!
Jay Atwood
