My Charles, m. Janatje (Janet), had children: Stoddard, 1775; David Studdert (Stoddard)
1776; Sarah Jane, 1778; Susannah Hannah, 1780; John W., 1782; Jane, 1784; Phillip
Helmer, 1786; Charles Jarvis, 1788; Ezekiel, April,1791; Delaney, Sept., 1792; Abigail,
Oct.,1794; Elizabeth (Betsy), 1796; Thomas, 1797/8.
I got this information from one of the descendants of a Charles - this would be a cousin
of my Ezekiel, above, b. 1793 -
From Suewiya Pickett - I've just finished looking at the
microfilms of the
1820, 1830, 1835, 1840, and 1850 Oneida County, New York,
censuses. It
looks like the two Charles Cadys that appear are mainly Charles Jarvis and
Charles Lewis and both live in Florence. Charles L. appears in 1820. In
1830 there are Charles Sr. (Lewis?) and Charles (Jarvis?). They are there
in 1835 and 1840 (One is listed as Charles J.). In 1850, only one Charles
remains in Florence and Charles L. appears in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
Interestingly, both Charles list their occupations as carpenter. Because
it is the 1850 census, wives and children are listed with the accompanying
information. Charles L. is 9-10 years older than Charles Jarvis. The
second Charles listed in the 1850 census in Oneida County, in the town of
Vienna, is a 5 yr.old son of Frances A. Cady. They are staying at an inn
there. She has two other children: Ann M. Cady, 2 yr., and Mary E. Cady,
6 months. I haven't looked at the microfilm for 1860 but the index lists a
Charles Cady in Vienna (Frances' son?), no Charles in Florence, and a
Charles Cadey in Camden (a stranger?). It seems that the lives of my
supposed ancestor and yours were intertwined after all. What a convoluted
trail this has been!
My note -- Charles Jarvis, Sr, was the son of Stoddard Brimfield Cady, brother to the
Charles who married Janet Helmer.
Further info on Charles Jarvis Cady, Jr -
IN RE: Donner Party -
The Charles referred to in this information was about 20 years old at the time and was
said to have been born in Rochester, NY and to have died in OK in the late 1800s. He is
also said to have started the pony express from San Francisco to Sutter's Mill in
Sacramento and to have lived in San Raphael, CA. See AOL address book for Donner Party

---Thursday, April 1, 1847
On April 3, 1847, the California Star, San Francisco, published a letter from Lt. S.E.
Woodworth: "To the Editor of the Star. San Francisco, April 1st. 1847. Sir.- I
have but this moment arrived in Capt. Sutter's launch from Fort Sacramento, ... I
have hastened down here, with some of the sufferers that required immediate attendance.
Among them are two of my men, Henry Dann and Charles Cady, with feet badly frozen. I have
brought Mary Donner and her brother down that they may obtain medical aid; the spanish boy
John Baptiste and Howard Oakley came down with them as nurses. ...."
My aside --- While visiting my daughter who lived in San Francisco several years ago, I
stumbled into the SFHS's store in the downtown area and came across a book that
outlined the history of the Donner Party -- the above information was also published in
the book I had scanned and as a sidebar to that info, my first husband, (that
daughter's father) was the nephew of a Charles Pusheck who had purchased gold rush
land in the area between Sacramento and Reno, Nevada upon which the traces of the old
Donner Trail ran across -- My daughter's family was connected to the Trail through
both sides of her ancestry -- We camped along the side of that Trail for many years
without knowing the history --
