Dear Listers:
My gr grandparents moved to California from Miami County Indiana. I also
live in CA. Our verbal history tells of Henry Lemming Cady going to CA,
losing an eye and returning to IN. I was searching for documentation of
that, but could find none. Also there was a Cady connection with the
Donner Party, and a Fort connected with the Cady name.
I found nothing that I could connect with "our" line, but perhaps this will
be of use to other researchers.
From a CA Census Index. All have Cady surnames:
