I had Bacie, it seems the spelling changed between Bacie and Vacie in census.

Both George Cassell & John Cassell are there. George 1803 John Cassel 1790, likely
hood of John being the father goes out the window with the wife being born in 1800, could
not of given birth, but has a 20 year old in 1840, So likely this John Cassell is his
brother is highly, as I found him in 1820 in Fleming County, Kentucky, USA where George
Cassell was born.
There is lore in the family that due to an army disagreement between a son and father over
land, that the Son changed his name from Cassell to Cassel.
Jefferson Cassel was in the revolutionary war after his fathers death, and in 1860 has the
stepfathers name McQuatt, which when registered in to the Civil war He is Jefferson
Cassell, After the war, All 3 children are Cassel, so the name changes here. Jefferson
lead me to George, via his records. Jefferson was a POW for Cloverdale, he injured his
right foot & had Chronic diarhea and Piles, His Step father William McQuatt was also a
POW for Cloverdale.
Due to the Cassell's around at the Time, which wasn't many I am still looking for
the father of George & John Cassell

People in the family go often by the middle name, William Grant Cassel, went by grant
through both WW1 and WW2, I believe this is because Grant went to war with Ezra his son
and William John Murphy. Ezra's Wife's Father. Ezra Basil Cassel Married Bertha
Naomi Murphy. Removing William allowed the members in the family to discern from Grant and
Johnie when talking given they were both William. This was also deliberate to call John,
Johnie as his father was also John, and this was another way of not confusing who they
were addressing.
