Abner Thomas Cady – December 15, 1803 – September 4, 1858
Abner T. Cady, the father of Samuel, was born in Massachusetts in the year 1803, moving to the State of New York, with his parents, when a boy; and, being one of the early settlers of that State, took his share in all the hardships of a frontier life – in summer, clearing away the timber that had been felled during the winter, and doing the usual work of a farm.
In winter, hunting and trapping was his livelihood, as the State, at that time, paid large bounties for wild-cat, panther, bear and wolf scalps.
In 1825 Abner T. Cady was married to Dolly Nudd, of Steuben County, whose parents had settled in the State at a very early period. In 1835 he immigrated, with his father’s family and his own, to Indiana – moving west with their wagons until they reached the Ohio River. Here they built log rafts, upon which they loaded their families, with the teams, wagons and cows, and dropped down the river to Madison, where they remained all winter.
In the spring they located their farm thirty miles from Madison, in Ripley County, where Mr. Cady, with such assistance as his boys could give him, cleared another timber farm, remaining there about twelve years. Here his son Samuel D., was born on February 28, 1837, and was a boy of ten when his father moved into Dane County, in what was then Wisconsin Territory, and settled seven miles north of Madison, entering a half-section of land, which he farmed until 1853, when he moved into Mitchell County, Northern Iowa.
He was one of the first settlers in the county, and one of the town company who laid out the town of Mitchell, the county seat of Mitchell county. In 1857 Mr. Abner T. Cady removed with his family into Linn County, within the then Territory of Kansas, where he died the following spring.
His family consisted of ten children, eight boys and two girls, all of whom are now living except the oldest boy. They were reared in habits of industry and temperateness, of which the father was himself a noble example, and by which they have all profited.
The children all remained at home until they were of age; and, as Abner T Cady died when his son Samuel was in his twenty-first year, he was the oldest boy at home, and upon him devolved the care of the family.
