inda, I'm not familiar with Cooper Cassidy, my study of the Cassidy family
arted with my spelling of the name and went back from there, trying to
tablish the connections with other spellings. Iowa in the 19th Century
s a very common place to see the spelling of Casady and that is where my
mily spelling originated; the Simon Casady family got their way of
elling the name in Iowa too. Virtually everyone in the country with the
sady variation is related to either the Simon Casady family or mine and
nt through Iowa at one time or another; there is a branch of the family
elled Casady in Northern Missouri that I haven't been able to link
rectly to Simon though.
y branch of the Cassidy family came out of Jackson County, Ohio in 1851 and
believe is linked to Andrew Cassidy, born in Ireland in 1800, but I
ven't been able to document the relationship directly; he moved west from
nnsylvania to Ohio about 1830. Other descendants of Andrew moved to St.
uis and kept the Cassidy spelling, but I'm not sure how they dispersed
om there.
he Simon Casady family came to Iowa sometime in the years between 1820? and
40 from Connersville, Indiana and is found there with the Cassidy
elling. As the Simon Casady family dispersed from Iowa, most kept the
sady spelling but there are some variations found in Iowa, most
rticularly Cassady as the family moved south and west in the state. We
so see several individual families spelling their name Cassidy, that seems
be more common in the northern part of Iowa and those families seem to be
re connected with the New York and Canadian branches.
lot of what I have gleaned has been from records and stories other family
mbers have sent me and I do not know how much of it is documented and how
ch is casual, undocumented study. I have been able to shore up a lot of
e information I have via census and other records, but I cannot, for
ample, document to Genealogical standards that Simon Casady of Des Moines,
wa was indeed Simon Cassidy of Connersville, Indiana.
lease do share what you know about your Cassidy's travels and moves. I
uld very much like to know where they came from in Ohio and when they
ved to Iowa, as well as where they located there. The move back to
io/Pennsylvania, when and where might provide additional clues. I'm not
all sure when I might be able to get back into my records and start
ying to match up branches and names again, but I have saved every email
ve received about the Cassidy family over the last 12 years so there is a
t of information in that which could help.

im Cassidy,
I am connected to the OHIO Cassidy's. I use
Tribalpages.com to track my
ogress (slow but sure). My Cassidy's moved to Iowa and then moved back
Ohio/PA. Cant figure out who is connected to who since they all seem
have the same given names. But "Cooper" Cassidy is one of my people.
ny help you can give me would be appreciated, and I would love to share my
fo too!
