John Cassel , was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1809, and came to Jefferson
county with his father, William Cassel, when a small boy. His father was one of the
representative men of this county, and served as commissioner for several years, with
honor to himself and credit to the county. John, the subject of this sketch, was brought
up on the farm and recieved a fair education. He is now engaged in farming and has a
finely improved farm, and, we may say, is one of the leading farmers in Cross Creek
township.
I am not related, just hope it helps.
