Finally got information from the divorce record on Alsadia Woodard and
Stephen Cease. The divorce was 1852 and she was granted on grounds of
Husband Stephen Cease failing to support the necessities of life for her
and her children. Stephen was still living in Tioga County at the time of
the divorce. Alsadia was also living in Tioga County. As Mary said, Mary
was sent to live with her aunt Lydia McConnell, wife of Eli McConnell.
Eli agreed to take Mary Cease in. She was his adopted daughter after
that. Daniel Cease was bonded to Mr. Parshall. Alsadia said her father
had died, (mentioned by the court as a respected member of the town, Mr.
Woodard) and her mother LYDIA could no longer support this family.
Alsadia had to let her children go. Stephen was ordered to stay away from
the children and Alzadia. (daughter Mary said Stephen moved out of state
and she never saw him again)
Alzadia's date of birth was 1824 and Stephen as 1824. Alzadia stated she
was born in Vermont. Stephen was born in New York, Although mary's death
certificate said he was born in Penn.
Divorce record said that daughter Mary Adalaide Cease was born in
Armenia, Columbia Crossroads, Bradford County, Penn. 1846. And son Daniel
Andrew Cease was born in Sullivan, Tioga County, Penn in 1848.
It gave me some info, but not enough unfortunatly.
