Daughter of William Cazadd and Martha Jane MAYBERRY Cazadd

While Eva's tombstone states her birth year as 1866, she was actually born in 1864. The 1870, 1880, and 1900 census, as well as her son, William Guy Parker 1887 birth record in Wayne County, Illinois (listed as age 22) and her Oregon death certificate all confirm this.

NOTE ERRORS ON HER OREGON DEATH CERTIFICATE. Certificate states she was born in 1964-should be 1864!! Record also states her father, William Cazadd, was born in France. Her father, was born in Christian County, Kentucky and her grandfather Joseph Cozadd (spelled surname differently) was born in Maryland in 1740. Eva's brother, John Joseph Hardin Cazadd, believed his ancestors were from France, so somehow the story must have been relayed through the family incorrectly. The name of the person who provided the information on Eva's death certificate, cannot be traced as a family member.
