Early Origins of the Cadick familyThe surname Cadick was first found in Cambridgeshire where the family was first referenced in the year 1260 when Richard Caddoc held estates in that shire. 1 There is a distinct Welsh connection as the name may have been derived from "the son of Caradoc, which was a Welsh personal name." 2 Furthermore, a Gloucestershire visitation noted Cradock ap Howell ap Grono (no date given) Cadoc the Wise (Cattwg Ddoeth in Welsh) (d. 570?), was "a Welsh saint, the early lives of whom are so contradictory that it must be supposed that there was more than one person of the name, is said to have been the son of Gwynllyw Filwr, Lord of Gwynllwg in Glamorganshire. He voluntarily devoted himself to a religious life from his earliest years, and miracles are ascribed to him while yet in his boyhood.

Cadick Spelling VariationsUntil quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Cadick include Cadick, Caddick, Caddock, Cadock, Cadicot and many more.

Migration of the Cadick familySearching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Cadick or a variant listed above: settlers, who arrived along the eastern seaboard, from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands.
