Hi Mariah, I too am interested in the Cushatt/Cashatt line. I note the reference to
Aquilla in this thread. I believe he married a Logsdon if my memory serves me correctly.
My line is tied to both the Logsdon's and the Cashatt's I believe. The
Logsdon's are for sure but the Cashatt connection has been illusive. There is one
reference in one Bible (Reames Family Bible) that lists a man who would likely be my 4th
Great grandfather Jacob Smelser married to Ocea Kershatt. The associated Kershatt family
in that area of Munfordville, KY (1810 - 1820) moves to Jasper County Iowa (Aquilla) as
Cashatt or Cushatt and into Alabama as Kershatt where later the spelling is Cushatt.
We also have some reason to believe that one alternative spelling of the name MAY
(emphasis on MAY) have been Kirshott or Kirschock or Kershott as we have known family in
the Alsace region of SW Germany / NE France with the name Kirschhock.
So, we are very interested in stepping up the dialogue on this Cushatt / Kershatt /
Cashatt family history. I suspect that the reference to a private website may have be or
be a reference to a MyFamily site. I haven't located one myself yet but would love to
participate.
