Hello all,
Thanks to this list I am now in contact with family members that I have
not seen since the early 1950s and have made contact with others who I have
never met but share common ancestors. Please don't give up, you too will have
a success story like this one.
The earliest ancestor we have found so far was SAMUEL CASSADY b about
1775 in Ireland (location unknown) d 1858 in Cross Creek, Washington County,
Pa. We believe he arrived in the US in about 1793. He married MARTHA JANE
CHAMBERS b about 1781 in Lancaster County, Pa d April 6, 1847 in Cross Creek,
Washington County, Pa. They are both buried in the Cross Creek Presbyterian
Cemetery, Washington County, Pa. They had the following children: Hugh, John,
Robert, Isabella (Stewart), Margaret (Egnew or Agnew), Martha (Murchland) and
Samuel. We do have further data on most of the children which I will furnish
by request.
Our present goal is to locate where in Ireland Samuel was born, who his
parents were and exactly when he left Ireland.
