∼Jeremiah was the third of ten children born to Samuel Cady and Elizabeth Winter of Killingly, Connecticut and Shutesbury, Mass. He was married in Shutesbury on 12 November 1772 to Hannah Warner, the daughter of Aaron Warner and Ruth Sheldon.
As the author of the Cady genealogy relates, Jeremiah was gripped with patriotic fever, and participated in the Boston Tea Party on 16 December 1773. He was later a member of Captain Dickinson's Company, Col. Benj. Ruggles' Regiment during the Revolutionary War, and he received pay for his service on 27 July 1775. He also fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Shortly after 1800 he moved with his family from Shutesbury to Frienship, in Alleghany County, New York. A few years later they moved again, to Henrietta, in Monroe Co., NY. Late in life he and his wife went to live with one of their children in Cuba, also in Monroe Co., NY, and this is where his wife died. As a very old man he went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Salome Cook, the wife of David Cook, in Hadley, Mass., and this is where he died. He and his wife had eleven children, all born in Shutesbury. His burial location has not been determined.
