Cassell family moving west:
According to " Cassel Family in America" by historian Daniel Kolb Cassel
" Being the descendents ofJulius Kassel or Yellis Cassel of Kreishem, Baden,
Germany" ( this book is available from The Mennonite Heritage Center, PO BOX 82,
Harleysville, PA , well worth acquiring for Cassel family info). I think the first to move
west from Germantown/ Skippack area was Johannes who arrived with his brother Yelles on
the ship Friendship, October, 1727. He stayed a while with his brother Hupert and his
wife in Germantown before moving to Columbia, south of Lancaster, PA
