Hello, Cassidys!
My elusive Cassidys:
Andrew CASSIDY arr. from "Ireland" between 1847-1848, either WITH Mary~26yrs,
Francis,3 yrs Mary,1-2yrs, and infant James-- OR Mary and kids followed him
over in 1848-49.
Andrew was naturalized 10-24-1853 in NY Common Pleas Ct.
The family, in the 1860 Census NY-10thWd 1st Dist: Andrew,49
Mary,41
Francis,16
Mary.14
James,12
John,6
Thomas,4
Katty,2
Francis (my gggrandpa) left NY in late 1860 for Beaufort, SC where he joined
the Confederate Army and was captured and imprisoned at Ft. Delaware. After
his release in 1865, he's back in S.C. where he marries Wilhelmina WINGARD.
They have 4 children who are orphaned when F and W both die in 1879.
All of Francis CASSIDY's NY family are dead by 1880. Except for John and
Katty-- who are "lost" to us after that. They are not buried in the family
plot in Calvery Cemetary.
Also, there is an Anne MORROGH buried in the family plot in Calvery. I have
no idea who she is- maybe a mother-in-law--? Does she sound familiar to
anyone?
Thanks to all. D. Ward
