Hello,
I'm looking for descendants of Eleazer CASSADY and Julia SHORTER. There is a Sussex
County Register note from 1862 that mentions 'the eight sons of Eleazer CASSIDY of
Wantage' serving in the Civil War. Wantage is a town in Sussex County, NJ.
My best efforts so far to identify the eight sons leads to Samuel, Abram, William, James,
Edward, John, Daniel, David and Robert. Yes, that is nine, but there could have been sons
who did not serve.
I have one independent link between Eleazer and son Daniel Haynes CASSADY. Daniel DOB 27
Oct 1841, DOD 29 MAR 1916.
In addition, there may be three daughters. Amanda, Ann and Harriet.
The children were born between 1831 and 1848. Julia died in 1850, Eleazer in 1853.
The predominant family spelling seems to be CASSADY, but as the Sussex Register used,
CASSIDY occurs frequently. CASSADAY, CASSIDAY and CASADA are also possibilities.
Please contact me via the
ancestry.com contact service if you have any information on this
line, or post here for all to share.
Thanks!
Rick
