Disputed between Nicholas Cady (1664-1724) and Joseph Cady (1666-1742).
William was born in Groton, Middlesex, MA and likely moved to
Killingley, Windham Co, CT in 1706. My first question was why was he
named William? William Cady was a infamous highwayman from England and
the name was not common amount early Cady families. He was born after
William and Mary took the thrown in England (1688) and before King
Williamâs War in North America (1688-1697). Their maternal Grandfather
was William Knapp who died in 1656 and it appears he was living on
public assistance less money collected for rental of his property. For
a time the tradition was to name a son for the father-in-law, then
uncles or godfathers. As William was the first born, we need to look at
his maternal grandfather. Josephâs father-in-law was Samuel Davis,
Nicholasâ father-in-law was William Redland. My best guess was that
William was named for his father-in-law William Redland. Next question
was who was his father? Nicholas married Patience Redland in 1683 and
had a son William (1685-1735) who was listed as unmarried. . Joseph
married Sarah Davis in 1689 and his first was Joseph Justice Cady
(1690-1768) and his second son was James (1693-1732). William Cady
(1692-Unk) was placed as his second son because he did not fit anywhere
else. It is known the brothers were close and Joseph gifted widow
Patience Cady, land north of Killingley. Joseph also gifted land to his
sonâs in the same area, however it is unclear if William was included.
So, I looked at the details of their lives and found John, Daniel,
Nicholas and Joseph were involved in defending against Native American
attacks on Groton (1691-92). The families were moved to Cambridge and
did not return until after the war. Daniel, Nicholas, and Joseph moved
to Windham County, CT about 1706 and lived near each other. Nicholas
moved to Preston,CT prior to 1720 and William died their in 1735.
Conclusion: There was only one William and he was the first son of
Nicholas III.
