Hi Ted,
You have been a real help. I have looked at the information you sent from the 1880
census, and I believe there is a good possibility that Richard may be my
great-grandmother's father and the other's may be her siblings.
The Robert E. L.Cady in the 1920 and 1930 censuses is definitely great-grandmother's
brother living in Dallas, Precinct 4, with his second wife, Annie May Bell Mason Cady, and
their children. This Robert was previously married to Martha Elizabeth Tucker, sister of
my great-grandfather, Oran Franklin Tucker. They had two children, Robert E. Lee (Buck)
Cady and Myrtle (or Lola). I assume the older REL and Martha divorced because his and
Annie's children were all born later than his and Martha's children. Annie died
20 Sept 1930, Martha died 27 Dec 1941, and REL died 16 Jan 1942.
I got some of my information from grave stones in Lee Cemetery at Seagoville, where
several of the Cady's and Tucker's are buried, and more recently got copies of
pages from my great-grandmother's family bible with names, DOB's and DOD's of
my great-grandmother and great-grandfather, their children, their parents, and their
siblings.
Do you have any preference as to whose census images are best? I usually go to the Dallas
or Grapevine libraries, but it would be helpful to access the census from home.
Thanks again for your help. Please keep in touch.
