I have been looking for a connection of my family, so I did look at John P Cady (Peter,
Elijah, Elijah,William, Nicholas, Nicholas) He was most likely one of the Connecticut
Yankees who settled in Northern Pennsylvania after 1768. If Peter was there in 1778, he
might have been involved in the Wyoming Valley Massacre. Generally speaking there was
conflict (Yankee-Pennimite War) and this might explain why they sold out. The matter was
not settled until 1799. My ancestor, settled much further east in what is today Pike
County.
You are wise to look at different spelling. I found 50% mistakes in Spelling and
Transcription. also, Cade, Cadey, Keidy (Irish spelling).
