Hi Everyone:
I find it ironic that about 12 hours after joining this list, there is a
posting about CASSIDY in N.Y. and Canada, and I am looking for CASSADY in
Canada, possibly born New York. I have very little to go on, I found this
family on the Richmond Twp, ON census for 1851. My gg grandmother
Catherine Jerusha CASSADY was born around the end of February, 1827
according to the grave marker in Sexsmith Cemetery. She died Dec. 28,
1875, her husband William VANDEWATER died sometime after 1891. One census
shows her being born in the U.S., another in Canada. Her parents were born
in the United States. John CASSADY was born about 1802 and his wife Mary
UNKNOWN about 1800, she died May 2, 1862 and is also buried Sexsmith
Cemetery. The family appears in Richmond census of 1851, Catherine is
already married and lives nearby. There are four other children, Thomas
19, Mary A. 17, Cynthia M.(someone has told me her name was Sinai Malvina
15, and Emily P. 13. The only other info I have is that Sinai married
David DAFOE of Fredricksburg. I realize I don't have much to go on but can
someone help me with this family.
Thanks,
