I have two Cassidy connections although both had changed the spelling early
on.
On my maternal side I am descended from William Cassity born about 1748 in
VA. He along with his bothers went to Kentucky in the late 1700's. From there
my line (the Peter Thompson Cassitys') went to Linn County, Missouri in about
1850.
On my paternal side, I am descended from Abram (or Abraham) Casada born about
1755. Abram lived in Wayne County, Kentucky. I am descended from Abram's son
Martin who moved from KY to McMinn County, TN then to Adams County, IL and
finally on to Jefferson County, IA. Martin and his descendants changed the
spelling to Casaday. From there, I descend from Martin's son Reuben (b. 1816
in KY, married Eliza Fields). Reuben moved to CA in 1853 eventually settling
in Santa Cruz County.
Would love to here from any cousins. especially and Casadays.
Sincerely,
Kelly Casaday-Thompson
