Hi All-
I wanted to introduce myself. I have adopted the CASSADY mailing list and
will be serving as the administrator for the list. List rules are pretty
simple:
Please be considerate of your fellow list members. Remember some people are
beginners at computers, some at genealogy, some at using the English
language: never be impatient with simple questions, or expressions which are
difficult to understand - we are here to help each other. Personal attacks and
criticism, or 'flaming', are not permitted on this list.
Off-topic messages are not permitted on the list. This includes virus
warning and hoaxes, chain letters, and similar messages. If you have a matter of
an administrative nature that you feel needs attention bring it to my
attention and let me handle it as the list administrator. Do not try to handle such
matters yourself either on or off the list. Contact me at
CASSADY-admin(a)rootsweb.com
When posting a new message to the list select an informative but concise
subject line. When replying to a post remember to change the subject line if the
subject being discussed changes. When replying to a message, if you intend
your reply to go privately or to the list be sure to check that the intended
address(es) are showing in the Send To box of your email BEFORE clicking on
SEND. Genealogical information should be directed to the list as others may
benefit from your reply as well as the intended recipient. "Thank yous" and
other personal notes should be sent to the individual only.

Now that that is out of the way...my personal connection to the surname
CASSADY is through my great-great-grandmother who spelled her surname CASSADAY
(another variant of CASSADY/CASSIDY):
Name: Catharine (Kate) CASSADAY
Birth: ABT. 1822 in Ireland
Death: in Salem County, NJ
Note: The family appears on US census records beginning 1860. I do not know
whether she and Charles were married in the US or Ireland. In later years
they claimed all their children were born in NJ. However, 1860 census shows the
oldest 2, Mary and Kate, were born in Ireland. The family is not on the 1840
or 1850 US censuses for NJ.
Marriage 1 Charles MCCONNELL b: ABT. 1808 in Ireland
Children
Mary MCCONNELL b: 28 FEB 1842
Catharine (Kate) MCCONNELL b: ABT. 1851
Anna (Annie) MCCONNELL b: 22 APR 1859 in Salem County, NJ
Lizzie MCCONNELL b: ABT. 1863 in Salem County, NJ
Emma MCCONNELL b: ABT. 1865 in Salem County, NJ
