Ted noted:
Elizabeth Hoffpauir's birth year or marriage year may be off by one or two. This
Richard may not be the 1822 Blacksmith. Richard, however, might be the child of Randolph
and a first wife; the people who all have this family on RWWC may have all copied him from
the same source; and that source may have lumped all of Randolph's children under one
wife.
If that source did, he/she may have looked at Elizabeth Hoffpauir's birth and wedding
dates and assigned Richard and his sister Elizabeth a birth year "aft 1828" out
of moral and biological logic, ignoring Randolph's earlier marriage.
Sharon's response:
The source of the date of marriage of Elizabeth Hoffpauir and Randolph CADY is the
SouthWest Louisiana Records by Donald J. Hebert, vol 2. Those records indicate that
Randolph was from CT. There is no Randolph CADY located in the 1820 census. However, there
is a Jeremiah CADY located in the 1820 census of Thomapson, Windham, CT with a male that
could be Randolph. No Randolph CADY has been located in either the 1830 or 1840 census. If
he had a wife other than Elizabeth HOFFPAUIR, there is no indication of that that has been
located. For a more complete list of sourcing for this family, please see the website for
