CASSITY LINE
My Cassity's start with:
Peter Cassity, Sr. b. Abt 1725 in Devenish, Fermanagh, Ireland, d. Bef 4/24/1792 in
Randolph co., VA. m. Ann Melissa Armstrong, b. 8/5/1728 in Edinburgh, Scotland, d. Bef
9/7/1791 in Randolph co., VA.
Peters father may have been Andrew, b. 1706 in Devenish, and his father may have been
Patrick, b. 1664 in Devenish.
Ann's father was James Armstrong, b. 1/24/1697/8 in Fermanagh, and her mother was
Hannah Rogers, b. 8/5/1728 in Edinburg.
Peter and Ann had a son, William, b. Abt 1748 in Augusta Co., VA, d. 1821-1829 in Bath
Co., KY. M. Nancy Thompson, b. Abt 1758. Her father was John Thompson, b. Abt 1730 in VA
and mother was Martha.
William and Nancy had a son, Isaac Newton Cassity, Sr., b. Abt 1780 in Bath Co., KY, d.
10/13/1819 in Bath Co. m. Sarah Anne Armstrong ( a grandaughter of the aforementioned John
and Martha Thompson). She was b. Abt 1788 in VA and d. Bef 1819 in KY.
Isaac and Sarah had a son, Isaac Newton Cassity II b. 3/13/1815 in Bath Co., KY, d.
5/12/1874 in Boone Co., IN. m. Lucretia Fall, b. 6/25/1814 in Richmond, IN, d.
1/18/1904.
I have extensive info on the Fall (Fahl) line which came from Germany. I also have
extensive info on the decendents of Isaac II and Lucretia (my great-great grandparents).
I would appreciate any help in expanding my data base on the CASSITY line and affiliated
families.
