Thanks for your response.
I am and have been stuck in regard to the antecedents of Henry Cassell. He lived near
Jacob and the theory is that they were brothers since both were born in PA, came out to
Wayne Co., then wound up in the Millville area of Iowa. If I recall correctly, Henry and a
William Cassell of Millville enlisted in the Union Army the same day. Perhaps William was
a nephew since he was younger. The Graybill and Nolan(d) names are always floating around
in the background of these men and I believe Graybill/Kreihbul is an old Pennsylvania
name.
Henry Cassell was married to Catharine Elizabeth Bretz. I am descended from their daughter
Elizabeth (Lizzie).
If you know anything about this branch of the Cassell family I would be cheered to hear
it.
Thanks,
Kristin
