Darlene:
I am happy to say I do not have any Leander in my direct line. VERY happy
considering the mix-ups you have investigated and identified in your
message. I could not follow it all, because these are not "my people".
But, if I DID have one in my line, I would also be VERY happy that you did
all this work identifying the errors and working at straightening it out,
AND that you shared this work with the Cady list.
So, even though your work does not effect my records, I would like to say
"Thank you" for sharing, anyway and calling attention to a problem area.

Subject: [CADY-L] Two Leander Cady's
Dear Cady Listers:
There are at least two LEANDER CADY'S.
Researchers are getting the two mixed up in their family trees.
One is from PA and the other, Leander Weston Cady, was born in IN.
I hope everyone will go back and correct their entries to prevent further
propagation of bad data.
An admittedly incorrect citation on the LDS site
apparently has fostered several iterations by others doing research.
Leander CADY (AFN: V3RQ-DK) Sex: M
Event(s): Birth: Jun 1860 Ind
Parents:
Father: Burton CADY (AFN: V3RQ-B7)
Mother: Martha BROMETT (AFN: V3RQ-CD)
Marriage(s):
Spouse: Margaret OLIVE (AFN: V3RP-ZC)
Marriage:10 May 1884
Green Co., Ind, Book L Page 531, Book La Page 84
(Leander Weston Cady, who WAS born in Indiana June 1860 did not have the
parents cited here).
Mrs. Keith (Bernice) Swanson posted this information.
Mrs. Swanson wrote me that when she uploaded her info to LDS, her Mac
data base apparently got scrambled in the PC in the translation.
She says the LDS info shows Leander's wife to be Margaret OLIVE.
Olive, however, is her mother's first name.
Swanson's original info, however, shows Margaret O'Haver as being Leander
Cady's wife.
Some other Leander may have married O'Haver, but the children below listed
on the LDS site are not issue of THAT marriage.
Erwin CADY (AFN:V3RQ-0H)
Born: Nov 1886
Fara CADY (AFN:V3RQ-1N)
Born: Apr 1889
Drexel CADY (AFN:V3RQ-2T)
Born: Nov 1890
Louis CADY (AFN:V3RQ-31)
Born: Nov 1891
Theron CADY (AFN:V3RQ-46)
Born: Feb 1897
These children all belong to
Leander Weston Cady and his wife Mary Matilda Wikel Cady.
Similar incorrect family info has shown up in other notations :
On the Cady Forum from 1999
Ebnezer & Catherine's children:
- Myron (Leander) b. 12-03-1855
- Angelo A. b. 01-23-1857
- Willis O. b. 04-25-1859
- Mary A. b. July 2, 1862
Leander Cady mrd. Margaret O'Haver 05-10-1884
their children were:
- Erwin b. 1886
- Tara b. 1889
- Drexel 1890
- Louis b. 1891
- Theron b. 1897 d. 1974
(These are NOT their children)
Another erroneous citation
1900, Census of Highland, Miami Co, IND
Children of MARGARET O'HAVER and LEANDER CADY are:
i. ERWIN CADY, b. November 1886.
ii. FARA CADY, b. April 1889.
iii. DREXEL CADY, b. November 1890.
iv. LOUIS CADY, b. November 1891.
v. THERON CADY, b. February 1897.
Again, these are NOT their children
Another incorrect notation is on
ancestry.com
Marriage 1 Margaret O'Haver b: ABT. 1855
Married: 10 MAY 1884
Children:
1. Erwin Cady b: 1886
2. Tara Cady b: 1889
3. Drexel Cady b: 1890
4. Louis Cady b: 1891
5. Theron Cady b: 1897
(These are NOT her children)
A further potential complication - One researcher shows that the Leander
who married Margaret OHaver was Leander CITY, not CADY. Poor handwriting
perhaps. But that's another story.
One notation on genforum may shed light on the confusion:
A census record from Brookfield,Tioga, PA 1860 lists:
Eleazer Cady age 23 Farm Laborer b. PA
Catherine Cady age 24 b. NY
Leander Cady age 5 b. PA
Angelo A. Cady age 4 b. PA
Wallis Cady age 1 b. PA
According to this record, Leander from PA was born in 1855.
Leander Weston Cady of IN who married Mary Wikel was born in 1860.

If any Cady researchers have accurate information that could shed light
on the Leander mixup, please contact me.
Also, I'd love to find early information on Henry Wikel and his first wife
Jane Newell.
Thanks for your indulgence!
