Hi susan
If I'm not mistaken, I think one of you decendents, Grace Cassady, married one of
mine. From what I can make out, Grace's parents where a Michael Cassady and an
Anna___?. Micheal Cassady was born in 1860-61 in ___? (maybe Ohio or Iowa). On the 1920
Ashland, Ohio census, it says that Michael's parents were born in Ireland and after
having a quick look, I think I have found his parents Catherine and Thomas on the 1870
census when Michael is 10 years old in Washington, Clinton, Iowa. Grace married a Charles
Thacher Whitcomb (the son of my 3x great uncle Horace Whitcomb) and they had one daughter
that I know of named Helen. I'm wondering if you have maybe traced this line? I'm
hoping to visit the states next year (I'm rom the UK) and I'd love to trace living
relatives. Let me know if can find any connection?
