His name apparently is recorded as James Mathew Cadzow or Cadzo in the actual Parish records of several of his children's births.

I have not been able to find a record of his marriage to Elisabeth, but another family researcher has listed the date of 30 September 1817. The source of this information is unknown. Elizabeth's death certificate says she was married in Glasgow at age 16, placing the year at about 1816.

At the time of the 1841 Census he is not recorded as living with his wife and sons which may mean that he was deceased by this time. The same researcher above records that he died on the 28 November 1834.

His wife Elisabeth emigrated to Australia with some of her children and died there.

  Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Soldier in the Royal Lanarkshire Militia at the time of Janet's birth on 16 Mar 1821 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland.

• He worked as a Paymaster Sergeant according to son John's death certificate.

• He worked as a Soldier according to daughter Ann's Death Certificate.
