His father, Stephen Cadwell, of the firm of Cadwell & Thurber, served as a trustee of the Syracuse First Presbyterian Church from 1827 to 1833 and his father was an elder of this same church from 1829 to 1840. The latter was also a charter member of the Presbyterian Church on Onondaga Valley and a Revolutionary soldier.
