Notes for Edward Cadman:
"Edward (4) William (3) Richard (2) William (1) the sixth child of William (3) and Amy Cadman was born in Dartmouth May 28, 1725 (D. 54), and was married to Sarah Seabury of Little Compton by the Rev. Nathaniel Searl, Justice of the Peace, June 3, 1753 (Vital Records of Rhode Island by Arnold 4: Little Compton 17).The intentions of the marriage were published March 24, 1753. (Vital Records of Rhode Island by Arnold 8 Little Compton 52) but under the name of Codman.Putnam in vol. 9 page 228 states that "family records state that she married Edward Cadman and that family tradition and records are wrong for there are no records of the marriage."Obviously the compiler of the article considered only the one entry wherein the name is spelled Codman and made no other search to discover the entry of the intention of Edward Cadman and Sarah Seabury.This definite contradictory statement has caused considerable difficulty among the descendants and this is probably the origin of the often repeated and erroneous statement that Edward Cadman married "Salley Sebra" a combination of the common name for Sarah and a contradiction of her family name.Sarah Seabury was the daughter of Joseph (3) Seabury, Martha (2) Pabodie, Elizabeth (1) Alden, born in Tivertown Dec. 4. 1732. (P. 8: 11).She died at the home of her son John Cadman Sept. 18, 1797 in Austerlitz, N.Y.
Edward Cadman was in Austerlitz a few years before the Revolution (C. 380) and in 1778 his name appears among the signers of a petition of the Association of Exempts of Claverack who have held civil or military commissions or are over fifty years of age and agree to form a company to be under command of men chosen by and from their own organization (G.C. 3: 625; G. C. 4: 240).He was a shoemaker and a farmer and died in 1816. (C. 345)To Edward Cadman and his wife Sarah (Seabury) Cadman were born ten children."--WILLIAM CADMAN OF PORTSMOUTH AND HIS DESCENDANTS, compiled by Theodore G. Foster, Lansing, Michigan, 1935
