Ida. I have found the info on our gg grandfather. His name was actually Lord (sounds a
lot like Loyd) Alexander Cassady. He was born in Randolph County NC, son of James and
Dicy Page Cassady. He was born in 1843 and his father James was deceased in 1848 when his
grandfather, John Cassady recorded his will which names Loyd Alexander, his brother Calvin
Jackson, sister Martha Jane, and a couple of other brothers to inherit their father's
portion of his estate. L.A. was living on the Miss. River when he was 7 years old with
some men working on the Miss. river. His grandfather John came to America from Ireland in
1893 and his grandmother Elizabeth Wilkson (or wilkerson) came to America from Ireland
around 1897 and she and John met in America and got married shortly after and bought their
farm in Randolph, NC where they lived the rest of their lives.
