We found him in the Georgia Land Lottery and it stated soldier. We found the number and
then found the William Casaday, (of course it was not spelled that way) and where he was
awarded the land for service.? You may remember that family lore says that William served
in four wars.??The land was in Harris County, Georgia.? He was the only Casaday in the
County.? Anyway, then we found where he lost the land?,it was sold, was our William?.? The
legal description was the same as in the land lottery.
There is a man in Limestone Co. AL that has a lot of records and I had several records.?
We have put them together, but still cannot prove William's parents.? In each census,
he states he was born in Georgia.
You are from my line.? My line is William, Jourdan John, Georgia Alice who married William
Henry Shelton in Montgomery and Webster Co. MS.? William Henry and Georgia are my
grandparents.? And we are related to the Hoods.? If you will contact me off line, I will
tell you more.? CMCFARL641(a)AOL.COM
Good to hear from you.? We may have corresponded before.

Joyce,
Is William Casaday's service in Rev. War listed at the DAR? Where did
you find the papers. Mary Ann Casaday Hood is my ggreat grandmother.
She is the daughter of William and Amias Davis Casaday.

I am impressed that some of you have your Casaday, Cassidy families
back to Ireland.? We still have our brick wall with William Casaday,
says he was born in Georgia, but Rev. War papers show he has a land
grant for service in VA.? He married Amias Davis ca 1828 in Harris
Co. GA, moved to Tallapoosa Co. Alabama ca 1840.? Cannot connect him
to anyone before he married AmiasDavis in Harris Co. and married
second to a Ledbetter..
My Casadys were supposed to be Scotch Irish.
Have information on his children and both wives if anyone is
interested.
