I have found several CASSADYs who all have some sort of connection to Darke
Co. OH and Henry Co. IN. I believe they are all one family, by the
preponderance of evidence thus far. I found all this while trying to
establish my gggrandmother Susannah CASSADY's parents. I have her marriage
record from Henry co.IN on which she states her parents no longer live in
Henry Co., she is of age (testified to by Hezekiah SNIDER, her uncle and
husband of Eleanor CASSADY). Eleanor is the daughter of Wear CASSADY and
Elizabeth WINSHAM or WINSHON according to the 1880 History of Henry Co, so I
know Susan is the granddaughter of Wear and Elizabeth. She is on the Henry
Co. census 1850 with her grandmother Elizabeth CASSADY age 67. Here is what
I have:
Wear CASSADY b. 1768 probably Augusta Co. or Montgomery Co. VA (most likely
a son of Simon CASSADY and Eleanor LAYTON) m. Feb 8, 1812 Preble Co. OH to
Elizabeth WINSHAM b.abt.1780 NC found on 1820 Darke Co. census, have Darke
Co. land records from early 1800s, sold last property 1828, found on 1830
Henry Co. IN Prairie Twp.census; Wear probably died before 1850 as he does
not appear in 1840 and Elizabeth is listed as head of household in 1850
Henry Co.
John CASSADY b. 1790-1795 m. July 6, 1820 Darke Co. OH to Mary WATSON b.

1830 Henry Co. census, he owned the S1/2,W1/2, NE qtr Sec 27 Twp 18 N range
10E, Henry Co., he sold these to Francis CASSADY on Mar 17, 1839, and
disappears from Henry Co. He had 1 son and 1 daughter born 1825-30 and 1

purchased SW1/4,NE qtr Sec 20, Twp 18, N range 10E, Henry Co. on March 15,
1837, bought John CASSADY's land on Mar 17, 1837, we believed he moved to
Jefferson co. Illinois, where his wife Sally and two daughters are
enumerated in 1880. We believe his son to be William CASSIDA who married
Lucy WIMBERLY in Jefferson County, Illinois and later moved to Clay co.
Missouri. The 1830 census:1 male and 2 females born 1825-30, 1 female born
1820-25.
