Old Sister's Blog and My Stimulus

Patsy posts the most interesting things on her blog.
Well, maybe not to you, but to all three of her sisters
she is tops. She gets me interested in something and
I will check it out.

Since Daddy always called her Patty and she has light
red hair everyone has always thought she was Irish
and I am sure we have Irish in there somewhere. She
said maybe our mother's maiden name, Gaddy, was Irish,
so of course, I had to check. I think it is Scottish and
the early Robert Goudy who went into the Cherokee
nation and fathered a bunch of half bred children is of
the Gaddy family. The Cherokee called the name Goody.
One of the girls married the famous white trader, Ludovic
Grant.

I found another place, Patsy, that said the name Gaddy
came from Hebrew and place GAD.

BTW, the photo is Houston Gaddy, our Grandfather.
