Mary Mallett and I are trying to find the connection between my
gggrandmother Susan CASSADAY and Richard CASSADAY who married Mary WOOD in
1850 Henry Co. IN, we believe the 1850 Henry Co. Census record for Elizabeth
CASSADAY shows some sort of connection. See the following:
I am working on a big puzzle here. I have found several CASSADYs who all
have some sort of connection to Darke Co. OH and Henry Co. IN. I believe
they are all one family, but cannot state this as fact at the present time.I
found all this while trying to establish my gggrandmother Susan CASSADY's
parents. I have her marriage record from Henry co.IN on which she states her
parents no longer live in Henry Co., she is of age (testified to by Hezekiah
SNIDER, her uncle and husband of Eleanor CASSADY) Eleanor is the daughter of
Wear CASSADY and Elizabeth WINSHAM according to the 1880 History of Henry
Co, so I know Susan is the granddaughter of Wear and Elizabeth. She is on
the Henry Co. census 1850 with her grandmother Elizabeth CASSADY age 67.
Here is what I have gathered:
Wear CASSADY b. 1770-1775 probably Augusta Co. or Montgomery Co. VA m. Feb

Co. census, have Darke Co. land records from early 1800s, sold last property
1828, found on 1830 Henry Co. IN Prairie Twp.census; Wear probably died
before 1850 as he does not appear in 1840 and Elizabeth is listed as head of
household in 1850 Henry Co.
John CASSADY b. 1790-1795 m. July 6, 1820 Darke Co. OH to Mary WATSON b.

disappears from Henry Co. He had 1 son and 1 daughter born 1825-30 and 1
daughter born 1820-25 on the 1830 census.

Subject: [CASSIDY] Richard Casady and Mary Ann Wood
List:
A few months ago I finally found another descendant of Richard Casady and
Mary Ann Wood Casady. My newfound cousin is descended from Edith Alice
Casady and I am descended from James Buchanan Casady. Here is what my
first
letter from my new cousin said:
"There is a Richard Casady Bible (very bad condition) which lists the DOB
of
their 11 children. It also states that Mary Ann Wood Casady died at
sunrise
on 24 Jan 1878 but does not give the location. It was probably on
their
homestead in Dakota County, NE. Richard is buried at Sergeant Bluff, IA.
He
died 3 Sep 1895 at Onawa, IA. and was born 28 feb 1817 in OH.
According
to
family records Mary was about 44 years old when she died. She was
born in
OH
according to the Census."
Some of the other known siblings of Edith and James B. were Etta, Julia,
Joan, William, Mary, Hattie and Francis (Frank).
My cousin and I would like to find more information on Mary Ann Wood
Casady,
but would welcome any information on the offspring of Richard and
Mary
Ann.
Thanks, Mary Mallett MKMallett(a)aol.com
