How's that for a book title!
For you folks mentioning Michigan in connection with Cady families, this is
taken from the Hardin Co. book:
p 305. James F. Cady was born at Lamont, Ottawa county, Michigan, July 11,
1855. He is the oldest son of Pearly [sic] P. and Olive B. Cady. His father
is a native of the State of New York; his mother, a daughter of Jeremiah
Prescott, is a native of the State of Maine. . . . [James became a lawyer,
but died 23 Feb. 1885 without having married. He is buried in Hubbard, Iowa.]
p 883. P. P. [Perley Philip] Cady was born in Steuben county, New York,
October 24, 1817. . . . In 1839 he moved to Oakland county, Michigan, and
remained there about five years. From 1842 to 1851 he spent in the western
part of Michigan, teaching at the Indian Mission, at the present site of
Grand Rapids, excepting 1846 and 1847, which spent in Chicago, engaged in the
lumber trade. In 1848 he was married to Miss Olive B. Prescott, a native of
Maine. In 1851 he settled in Alamakee county, Iowa . . .. [P. P. and Olive
are also buried in Hubbard, and all three share a head stone. This stone in
incorrectly labeled "Preston" instead of "Perley", why or how, we
don't know.]
James' siblings were Ellen M., Jeremiah Judson, Jessie A., and Frank
Prescott. The book also mentions an adopted daughter, Mary A.
If anyone can plug into any of this info, lemme know. Maybe there is a
relationship.
