Hello,
I had just found out about my Cassity ancesters, I am related to Martha
Parsons daughter of John Parsons and Elizabeth Cassity. Also I wanted to
ask a question? I have been told by my Grandmother and Great Aunt the
Martha Parsons was Native American. I have picture of Lucinda Parsons
Catrer, and she really looks native, but her death cert. which I will
cut and paste below says she was white. Do you think the blood came from
the Parsons side or the Cassity side. And Nancy L. Parsons married a
William Henry Howard. I thank you for letting me share.
