Hi Steve,
Re your posting about Thomas Cady & Adelia Fifield, who married in Michigan
c 1850: This rang a far-off bell with me, only because the surnames are
almost exactly those of my great-greats: Sarah H. Cady and Lution
Fairfield. (I believe that "Fifield" has to be a corruption of
"Fairfield.") Sarah and Lution were married in New York State in 1854 and
lived in Steuben County until they emigrated to St. Clair County, Michigan
about 1864.
I know nothing about the families of these two, except that Lution's
parents were John Fairfield & Lydia Dodge, from Woodstock, Windham County,
Conn., and Sarah's parents were thought to be August Cady & Helen Lyons
from Southbridge, Mass. I understand that neither Fairfield or Cady were
especially common, and I can't help but wonder if there is a relationship
some where.
Do you know where in Michigan Thomas & Adelia married?
Also, I encourage everyone to post responses to the list--that way we can
all benefit!
Thanks for your post,
Sue
Descendent of Sarah H. Cady
