Hello,
The website at
http://www.gendex.com/users/LC49/ccfa/ is great. I learned of
the web site from the Roots Cassidy List.
I am researching the Cassidy/Cassada family in Halifax County VA. I know that
I am not descended from the 5 brothers who went to Kentucky but I do have
information on some Virginia Cassidys. William Cassady, immigrant and
indentured servant, was born about 1735 believed in Ireland . He is listed on
a list of "tithes in 1749 & 1750 as"under 16" and bound to Mr. James
Stuart in
the area of Little Roanoke River ( roughly Halifax Co.) I have a copy of a
1767 deed in Lunenburg Co. where he purchased land on Reedy Creek. In his
1794 will in Halifax Co., listed are his wife Ann, two sons John and James, &
a granddaughter Sally. Jamess married Sally Willard in 1801 in Halifax Co.,
and their son John R. Cassada born 1805 who married Rebecca Smith is my
ancestor. From John and Rebecca, I have extensive information on the
descendants. Some of the 12 children of John and Rebecca are spelled Cassidy
and others still use Cassada!
In searching for my line, I have information on marriages and deaths of some
Cassidys in Halifax and Patrick Co Va including a William, Daniel, and Peter
with different information than those listed in your database. I don't know
how they connect with my line or yours but I would be glad to type up this
information and the source and send it to you if you want.
Perhaps they all are tied together somehow!
Dee Cassidy Smith
