Shellet, I have both Bassetts and Cadys (scads of Cadys!). But not very
many Bassetts, and those were very early on. The first I'm aware of was William
Bassett, b ca 1549 @ England. His son, William, b 1590, came to America
in 1621 in the Fortune. This William marr Elizabeth Tilden (?), and their dau
Sarah, b ca 1628, marr Peregrine White, son of William & Susanana (Unkn)
White, Mayflower passengers.
My first known (to me, at least) Cady was Nicholas Cady/Cade, Sr., b 1588 @
Stoke-By-Nyland, Suffolk, England. He marr Grace Birede, who was b ca 1592,
and who was "of Lethringham, Suffolk, England". They had four children that
I'm aware of: Nicholas, Jr. Thomas, Sarah and Elizabeth. I'm descended from
Nicholas Jr.
Nicholas Cady, Jr.,b 1615 (1627 is another date I've seen as his possible
date of birth). He marr Judith Knopp/Knapp, b 1629 @ Bury-St. Mary's, Suffolk,
England.
From there my line is Daniel Cady, Sr., marr Mary Green.
Ezekiel Cady, Sr., marr Abigail Cady (cousins).
Ezekeil Cady, Jr., marr Abigail Stoddard
Charles Cady marr Jane/Janatye Helmer.
Elizabeth Cady marr Henry Armstrong, Jr.
James Armstrong marr Mary Eliza Baker
Allie Armstrong marr James Gregory.
Janet Gregory marr Robertson Lispenard Cleveland.
(These last two were my parents).
So that's my Cady line, and my fairly short Whitney line, although I do have
other Whitneys from the same family.
If someone recognizes any names here, please feel free to jump in and contact
me!! I'd love to hear from you!
