B.J was not born in Hamilton, OH as reported by others. He was born in Windham Co. CT
probably near Putman, but then it was part of either Thompson, Killingly or Pomfret. The
Barbour Collection shows a Benjamin born in 1795 in Killingly, but that may not be him.
That is the son of of Col. Joseph and Lucy Leavers, who supposedly died in 1833. Based on
Census information BJ is the son of Joseph Cleveland Cady and Lucy Hutchins, who had three
young sons on the 1800 census (Windham Co)David Knight, Benjamin Johnson, and John
Cleveland.
B J's Ggfather David moved to Quinebaug falls area about 1700 with his brothers
Nicholas (Killingly Hill) and Joseph south of David's farm. BJ moved frequently, CT to
NY, to IN, to OH, to TX (1848)and is buried in Cowley Co, KS (1879).
