Here I am reading your blog and, while our families are not related, they probably knew each other. I have been researching the Cadys out of Bures St Mary Suffolk, England whi emigrated to Watertown, MA in 1630 and you;re talking about your own ancestors in the same place at the same time. Can't say they were friends, but at that point in time, Watertown was a pretty small place. I guess this is partly why I do genealogy. Cheers, Chris.
