August 7[edit]

Cadburys[edit]

Was Henry J. Cadbury, the American Quaker, related to the British Quaker Cadbury family, and if so, how? Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Cadburys were an English Quaker family until one ancestor, Joel Cadbury, came to Philadelphia in 1815 and married his first cousin Caroline Warder in 1822, thus establishing an American branch...Henry Cadbury's father, Joel Cadbury, Jr.. So Henry's grandfather would be Joel, ~~last~~ child of Richard Tapper Cadbury and uncle of George Cadbury? Bacon, Margaret Hope (1987).

See trees 1 and 4 in Crosfield, John F. (1985). A history of the Cadbury family. fiveby(zero) 04:21, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Fiveby: Many thanks. I was trying to look up Henry Cadbury, the director of the Daily News and the News Chronicle and was surprised where I ended up. Btw, the John F. Crosfield who wrote the book is the John F. Crosfield about whom we have an article. DuncanHill (talk) 12:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
