Hello list,
My g grandfather was John Cassidy born in County Mayo, Ire. 1847. He
marr. Mary Davis in England in the District of Auckland, County Durham
in 1866.
I have found no date of immig to United States, but the first child born in
Pennsylvania was circa 1873. As far as I can tell they lived in Clearfield
County, PA in the early 1870's; then moved to Leisenring #1, Dunbar Twp.,
Fayette Co., PA and remained there for the rest of their lives. Both John
and Mary are buried in St. Vincent dePaul Cem., Leisenring #1, PA
John Cassidy died Nov. 8, 1911. Mary died October 8, 1921.
Children of John and Mary Davis Cassidy were:
Bernard (Barney) b. 1867 in England
Katharine b. circa 1870 in England
Esther b. circa 1873 in Clearfield Co., PA
Mary (Molly) b. circa 1875 in Clearfield Co., PA
John b. 1875 Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
James b 1878 Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Thomas b 1880, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Edward b. 1882, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Helen b. 1885, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Frank b. 1887, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Elizabeth b 1889, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA
Willie b 1891, Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA

I have more info on the above, but I'm searching for information
on John and Mary Davis Cassidy at the time of their residence in
England and their births in Ireland.
