Re: Harriet Cady Howard's grandfather, Jacob Cady
Mabel,
When I wrote in an earlier email that I am tracking the Cadys,
that was a true statement but far more barren in records than to be able
to answer the ancestry question you posed about your grandmother,
Harriet Cady Howard, and even back to her grandfather, Jacob Cady whom
you say was born in 1824. Except for my own line, my generally records
show only the earliest generations of Cadys many, many centuries ago and
extend downward only until the mid 1700's, many of whom died in the
early 1800's, of course. So, my records don't go down far enough to
find someone born in 1824, sad to say. If I could help you, believe me—
I'd be thrilled to do so, but you'd need to give me a name for Jacob
Cadys father and likely even his grandfather before I could place his
further ancestry for you. On the other hand, should anyone be able to
place their Cady ancestry back to the mid 1700's, I'd like to have
correspondence with them and exchange information of mutual interest.
