This completes the information I have on 10 of the children of James Cassidy and Martha
Turnbull. According to the 1817 Pictou census, there were 11 children in the household of
James and Martha. Therefore, there is one more. There are 2 possibilities that I know of
for number 11:
--a son Robert - the only information available is the christening of an Ellen, daughter
of Robert and Mary Cassidy on May 1, 1837 at St. James Anglican Church in Pictou
--an unknown daughter who married a Robert Anderson
I hope somethong in the material submitted to the CASSIDY mail list has been of some value
to some listers. Jack Cassidy
