I was looking for a David and Joseph Cady. I know Joseph C Cady Sr died
in Apr 1821 and David died in Aug 1821 both in Mill Creek, Hamilton,
Ohio. Brothers named David and Joseph are rare, and one set was found
in Mohawk, Montgomery, New York in 1790. In fact, there are several
interesting possibilities, Daniel Cady (b 1745) David Cady (b 1748).
David Cady Jr (1770) amd Joseph (1770). David Cady was in Wayne County,
PA in 1800 and it appeared he was in Otsego County before that. Then I
found out that Otsego County only organized in 1791 and before that it
was past of Montgomery County, which covered much of the State. The
township of Mohawk covered much of Otsego County, and only Cherry
Valley, Harpersville and Otsego were separate townships. In 1791,
Herkimer, Otsego, and Tioga counties were split off from Montgomery
County and Mohawk was split between two other townships. In 1793,
Burlington, Otsego, Richfield, Unadilla, Harperville, Franklin and
Cherry Valley were listed as townships in the county. Each Township had
several villages that appear in later years, with Cooperstown as county
seat was in Cherry Valley. In short, records for Montgomery County
might contain info on Cadyâs (As an ecample=Canajoharie became Milden,
Montgomery, NY) A brief history of the Revolutions major military
activities included the siege at Fort Stanwix, the battle at Oriskany
in 1777, the Cherry Valley Massacre in 1778, the 1779 the expedition
against the Iroquois led by General John Sullivan through the Finger
Lakes Region, and 1780 attacks on Oneida Castle, Fort Plain and
Johnstown. Sir John Johnson devastated the the Mohawk Valley and
Schoharie Valley in 1781 before retreating to Canada. With the end of
the war, the area started to recover and land grants from the King were
replaced with land sales to repay war debts. The effect of William
Cooper had on American expansion is often overlooked. His plan was to
sell land and offer to carry the mortgage; this gave settlers a stake
in the future. The British system gad the Manor Lord renting the land
but holding title and it was not uncommon for tenants to be thrown off
the land. After the Ordinance of 1789, more land was available and with
improved technology, farms got larger, this went far to make America
great. (Think Steel Plow, seed envelopes) I understand why many New
Englanders left Upstate New York for Ohio, Michigan and points west.
Why settle on 40 acres when you can get 160 acres in the west, plus
technology made it easier to move. (Think Canals and Railroads) For
Genealogist Upstate New York is a black hole because the area was
settled rapidly before the infrastructure was available that and many
settlers moved west when they could. This makes finding David and
Joseph hard to find.
