Individual:
It is surmised that Nicholas Cady was a native of Suffolk County Eng. and came over with William Knapp in 1630; he may have been a connection, near or remote, of that Cade of Suffolk who bore a Coat of Arms, or of that Edward Cade of Stoken Steen, a contemporary in 1634. After the completion of his apprenticeship to William Knapp (providing he was an apprentice) he marries the daughter of his master, and in Watertown, where he first settles, all his children are born; then he goes to Groton, where a strenuous life begins in a new settlement with all the incidents which that statement brings to mind, to which was added later a life in garrison with a constant fear of savage assault, so imminent that all sought safety in retreat, leaving their homes to be burned by the Indian enemy. Several years later he returned to spend his days in Groton, where peace and prosperity is enjoyed, surrounded by his children and honored by his fellow-citizens, who appreciate his worth. No lettered tablets mark the last resting place of Nicholas Cady and his wife Judith; their only monuments were their children, whose successful and honored careers testified to the wealth of mental endowment inherited from their parents. Information from the book of the Ancestors of Nicholas Cady.[vanhouten2.FTW]
