Fay, I saved your message quite some time ago and was just going over my
folder of Cady family messages for my cousins wanted copies of some of
them. I have hit a brick wall at Robert Cady who married Melvina La
Follette in 1842, they were my grandma's grandparents but I don't
remember her ever mentioning them, when she talked of her family it was
mostly about her parents and siblings. He name was Harriet and she had 2
brothers William and Lynn who may have been the boy named Robert in 1880
Census age 1 year.Also a sister named Mary. Her mother was Sarah Swift,
and Grandma used to tell about how her parents had disowned for marrying
her father Jacob Cady because they felt it was not a good marriage. She
always told us that the Swifts wre quite well to do. I have made
numerous requests trying to find more info on this line but it is going
nowhere. I have copied a lot of very interesting info form the list.
just recently got 2 about a Charles Cady who wa pat of the rescue party
for the Donner Party and one who was a captain in the Mexican war. It is
interesting reading even tho I can't connect with them. God hunting from
Mabel
