Would you have any info on the John Cassel & Mary E. Summers-Cassel? John's
parents?
I am decendant of William Grant Cassel. I was told the family had some one change a name
from Cassel to Cassell, but what I have found so far, is that The line of marriage records
are all the same from John Cassel with the Exception of Grant, who's name on his
wedding papers as William G Castle. Which seem to go with the family story, but it's
not Cassell it's Castle that he changed too. It was a disbut over land Grant went to
war.. Then asked his parents to buy him a house & land, some thing happened, they were
told he was dead, when he wasn't, he came back to claim the land and John & Mary
Cassel Claimed the land as their own, and would not pay back the money, so he changed his
name to spite them.
John Cassel's parents came from KY but he was born in Indiana.. Been having trouble
finding his parents.. ?? Can you help, paula??
