Hello Jeannine,
I could have sworn I sent you this information a few years ago, but at the
moment I am not able to find the email.
Sophia Ann Cascadden was apparently the daughter of Alexander Cascadden and
his first wife, Miss Augustine. I was so sure we discussed this, because we
made the comment that her two children were thus named after her parents,
Abel and Sophia (Stewart) Augustine. Sophia Ann Cascadden was probably born
about 1827. She was married to Samuel Hamilton Hughes, son of Samuel and
Susan Hughes, on 30 March 1845 in the London District, Canada, by David
Griffin, minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Witnesses were John
Griffin and Hamilton's brother, Francis Hughes. Sophia died before 2 Sep
1850. Samuel Hamilton Hughes left a will dated 2 Sep 1850 and probated 28
Dec 1850. Executors were William H. Cascadden, Sophia's uncle, and Deborah
Ann (Hughes) Cheverton, sister of Samuel.
Children of Samuel H. and Sophia A. (Cascadden) Hughes were:
George Albert, b. ca. Dec 1845; m. Mary Doolittle 29 Aug 1870 at Aylmer,
Elgin County, Ontario
John Alexander Hughes, b. ca. Apr 1848; d. before 23 Feb 1861
Hope this helps,
Marjean

Subject: [CASCADDEN] Alexander Cascadden's Daughter
Hello all! The list has been a little quiet lately, so here is what I've
been up to:
I am currently in Salt Lake City and have spent the last 4 days trying to
find out who Alexander's daughter was and whom she may have married. All the
paper work I've ever received stated that his daughter from Miss Augustine
married a Francis Hughes. Well after some digging I have managed to locate a
marriage in 1845 between a Hamilton Hughes and a Sophia Easkadon a witness
being Francis Hughes. By 1850 there is the court paper work for a Samuel H.
Hughes that only lists his two minor sons George Albert and John Alexander
and his only brother Francis. In 1870 I find a George Albert Hughes marrying
a gal last name of Doolittle (sorry I do not have the notes in front of me).
His parents are listed as Samuel H. and Sophia Ann Hughes. I'm wondering if
the H. of Samuel might stand for Hamilton. Since "Miss Augustine's" mother
was Sophia I'm wondering if Alexander and "Miss Augustine" named their
daughter Sophia. Sorry about the ramble I just need to bounce this off of
someone.!
I can
not seem to locate any church records that would cover 1847-1850 in the
area of Middlesex, Malahide.
Any suggestions....help.....comments?
