Barbara Carlisle,
In response to your e-mail below, I have the following info on my Cassidy line. (Please
excuse the alignment.) I don't have the
census book now, it was borrowed from a friend and I just made the notes shown below. If
we remember that ages in the census, or
our notes, aren't always what we think, this is probably the family you're
researching. Unfortunately, the census didn't indicate
the family relationships for the children.
My gg grandfather was John Cassidy (of whatever spelling) married to Caroline Sutton in
1870; died 18 FEB 1925. I don't have a
close birthdate on "my" John Cassidy--my notes give the dates 1841 or 1848 (if
those should be 1847 or 1848 - this is easily my gg
grandfather!- but see family below) Barbara, you might try posting to the Laurel
County, KY site too. A lot of Cassidays (of
whatever spelling) are in that area, and with the county lines changing throughout the
years, the folks didn't move - the county
did!

If the "W" after John's name stands for Wesley, this is my line. I think
the FD is Frank "something"
Hope this helps, or at least stirs the pot a little!
