I'm not sure if the 1840 Greene County census is posted by location, but from what
I've read about other census records, it very well may be.
On page 50 or near at the US archives website:
http://files.usgwarchives.net/tn/greene/census/1840/pg45.txt
one finds a Thos. H Nelson (3 females, again one dau is married by 1840) living possibly
next door to Adam Cassady.
Many list an Adam Cassady as the father of James Henry Cassady, and perhaps this is the
source they're using as anecdotal proof since James Henry and Sarah M D Nelson Cassady
did name their only son Adam.
This could explain how Sarah & James Henry met, if indeed, this Adam Cassady is
related to James Henry Cassady.
Interesting find, anyway. If anyone knows who this Adam Cassady is, I'm sure it would
be of interest to the Cassady line.
