So here is another Cassidy family in Greenpoint Brooklyn (Ward 17 of Kings
county), though the 1850 Census is from New York City (Brooklyn still being
wonderful indepenent city at that time). I have been tracking them because
they arrive early to Greenpoint and my Cassidys come directly to
Greenpoint, Brooklyn with no apparent stop in New York City; a cousin, the
oldest in my family (86) tells a story that one Cassidy was arrested ffor
teaching Irish and whenhe got out the family started to emigrate -- this
probadly isnt true since teaching Irish wasnt illegal at the time but seems
to indicate some "criminal" problems. Also there are names in this family
that appear in my families. Anyway I've tracked this family from 1850 to
1925.
Also, Rosiana, Sarah and John do not marry; Maragret marries Philip McCaffrey.
They open up a grocery store (at the time grocer stores and liquor stores
were the same places) on Eckford and Calyer Streets.
