Notes for Myrtle Lee Cassil
One interview suggests that Myrtle Lee had a younger sister named Lucille.
The parents of Myrtle Lee are named by her when she applied for a social
security account number in 1941.
Of the records that evidence the birth date of Myrtle Lee, the year on one
conflicts dramatically from the others. On her application for a social
security number, dated 08 July 1941, she claimed to be 45 years old, born
on 27 July 1895. This form is written in her own hand; and it is a mystery
why it is different. Could it have been an error because she was distraught
over the health of her father. Elias died in 1942.

On two records, Ms. Dollie Williamson is named as the informant of Myrtle
Lee. Her relationship is friend. Ms. Williamson died in 1991 before I could
find and talk with her; but her husband, Curtis Williamson, described
Myrtle Lee as a nice woman, a hard worker with an independent nature and a
good friend. He had known Myrtle Lee 15 or 20 years.
According to another friend, Cathy Clouard, Myrtle Lee lived in a mobile
home and was cared for by Dollie Williamson during the last years of her
life. She may have been a member of the Lutherin Church.

Hi All,
I'm seeking info on Ann Margaret CASSEL. All I currently know of her is that she
married Capt. Casper KELLER, a native of Switzerland, possibly during the 1770s.
Their only child that I know of was Christiana KELLER, b. 17 Mar 1776 in
Lingonia Valley, Frederick Co., Maryland. In 1803, Christiana married John Weis
in and of Hagerstown, PA. They had 10 children, the 9th of whom was my g-g-
grandfather, D.K. Weis.
T.I.A. for any help or info!
Linda Simpson
I would like to learn more about this family also. They are my 6th great

The Ancient History of the Distinguished Surname Cassels
>
>The ancient chronicles of Scotland reveal the early records of the name
>Cassels as a Norman surname which ranks as one of the oldest. The
>history of the name is finely interwoven within the tapestry of Scottish
>tartans dominating the panorama of the history of Scotland.
>Skilled historical analysts have researched the ancient manuscripts such
>as the Domesday Book (compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror), the
>Ragman Rolls, the Wace poem, the Honour Roll of the Battel Abbey, The
>Curia Regis, Pipe Rolls, the Falaise Roll, tax records, baptismals,
>family genealogies, local parish and church records. This research has
>shown the first record of the name Cassels was found in Lincolnshire
>where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by
>Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished
>assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
>Many Scottish Clans and families trace their origins to Normandy. Your
>name, Cassels, occurred in many references, from time to time, including
>Cassell, Cassel, Cassells, Cassills, and these changes in spelling
>occurred, even between father and son. Scribes recorded and spelled
>the name as it sounded, phonetically. It was not unlikely that a person
>would be born with one spelling, married with another, and buried with
>another. All three spellings related to the same person.
>Sometimes,preferences for different spelling variations either came from
>a division in the family, or, for religious reasons, or sometimes
>nationalistic reasons.
>Believed to be descended from the Norman race, the Norman's were
>frequently but mistakenly assumed to be of French origin. The were more
>accurately of Viking origin. The Vikings landed in the Orkneys and
>Northern Scotland about the year 870 A.D., under their King, Stirgud the
>Stout. Thorfinn Rollo, his descendant, landed in northern France about
>the year 910 A.D. The French King, Charles the Simple, after Rollo laid
>siege to Paris, finally conceded defeat and granted northern France to
>Rollo. Rollo became the first Duke of Normandy, the territory of the
>north men. Rollo married Charles' daughter and became a convert to
>Christianity. Duke William who invaded and defeated England in 1066,
>was descended from the first Duke Rollo of Normandy.
>By 1070, the Norman nobles in the north of England were in rebellion.
>Duke William took an army north and laid waste most of the northern
>counties. King Malcolm Canmore of Scotland invited many of the
>displaced nobles to his court and gave them grants of land. About 1130,
>the Earl of Huntingdon, heir to the Scottish throne, later to become
>King David of Scotland also offered land to his Norman friends in
>England, particularly in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and the lower
>midlands.
>The surname Cassels emerged as a notable Scottish family name in the
>county of Lincolnshire where they were recorded as a family of great
>antiquity seated at Cassel with manor and estates in that shire. They
>originally came from Cassel in Flanders although they were Norman, and
>the first on record was Hugo de Cassel in Lincolnshire But later at the
>invitation of David of Huntingdon, they moved north into Scotland and
>were granted land by David, then King of Scotland, in the parish of
>Kirkmichael in Ayrshire. They also acquired Bowness and Staneybyrwood
>in the parish of Lesmahago. The name in the 16th century became quite
>popular in neighboring Lanarkshire. Prominent amongst the family at
>this time was Sir Nicholas Cassell; Sir William Cassell of Warwick;
>Thomas Cassell, Sheriff of Newcastle in 1439.
>The surname Cassels contributed much to the affairs of England and
>Scotland Later, the the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries Scotland was
>ravaged by religious and political conflict. The Monarchy, the Church
>and Parliament, fought for supremacy. During these times of tyranny the
>exodus began. Highlanders joined the Highland Regiments. Lowlanders
>were shipped to Ireland. Families sought favorable alliances, with
>powerful clans, either by marriage or contract. Choosing the wrong
>loyalty could be disastrous to a family name, and their viable future.
>Since a succession of monarchies had tried to subdue Ireland, it was very
>fashionable to become loyal to that cause.

notes from Dale W. Castles, 22 Nov 1997
Speculation on the origin of Henry Cassels b:1710 of South Carolina
This information is pretty much quoted straight from a book by
Robert Cassels of Ontario Canada b: 1815 d: 1882. He went to
Scotland to research his family history. The complete book can be
found in the Library of Congress and is called "Records of the
Family of Cassels and connections"
In a curious document in the British museum, containing an account
of the Scots nobility in the reign of James 6th., this is stated:
"the Earl of Cassilis, called Kanethy, being with his friends of
the same surname upon the west seas, in the countie of Carrick, a
stewardrie and parcel of the shiredome of Ayre. There is of the
same name, in that countie, and descended of his house, sundrie
lordis and gentlemen, whereof the principal is the lord Barganye and
Blairquhoy, of little less living than the Erle himself, his chief
houses, Cassells and Dunnyre, 4 miles from the bridge of Doune. The
people are mingled in speeches of irish and english, not far distant
from Carrickfergus in Ireland. This mode of spelling Kennedy
(Kanethy), seems favorable to the supposition that the name was
originally Kenneth. "
The founder of the Cassels branch, being probably driven from
Ayrshire in some of the feuds in which his family so often bore a
leading part, settled in Linlithgowshire or counties adjacent, and
changed his name to Cassillis, the name of his ancestral seat in
Ayrshire. This has been corrupted in its spelling to Cassills,
Cassilis, Cassils, Cassells and to Cassels, as it is now generally
spelt. (and in the case of my father , also, Castle) the descent
cannot now however, be traced with certainty much further back than
the parish records extend, which are many of them in a very
mutilated and defective state.
In old charters and state documents signed by the early lords
Cassillis. the name is frequently spelt, 1 Cassles, Cassils, and
Cassells. for many generations the family had used the same arms and
crest as those borne by the Marquis of Ailsa; and in 1864, Walter
Gibson Cassels (1777-1868), of Blackford House, Edinburgh, thought
it desirable to strengthen his right by petitioning the Lord Lyon
kin of arms for permission to continue to use these arms, with such
difference and as " nearly approaching to the aforesaid insignia as
accordant with the laws of arms."
the petition was as follows:
"unto the right honorable Thomas Robert, Earl of Kinnoull, Lord Lyon
King of Arms:
"The petition of Walter Gibson Cassels, Esquire, formerly proprietor
of the lands of Muirside, Kennedy's Hill, Lochead, and Standridge
(now called Greenknowe), in the county of Stirling, late banker in
Leith, and now residing at Blackford House, in the county of Mid
Lothian; - humbly showeth, that your petitioner is the eldest
surviving son and representative of the second marriage of the
deceased Andrew Cassels, Esquire, merchant in Leith, with Anne,
daughter and heiress of Walter Gibson, Esquire of Greenknowe, in the
county of Stirling, which Andrew was son of James Cassels, Esquire,
a landed proprietor in the county of Linlithgow, by Hannah Spears,
his wife, daughter of Robert Spears, Esquire: that the petitioners's
family were for many generations resident in Borrowstouness: that
your petitioner is fifth in lineal descent from James Cassillis, b:
in the reign of king James 6th., who was believed to be descended
from the ancient family of Kennedy, Earls of Cassillis. That the
petitioner's family have for generations borne the same arms as that
noble family, and that he is desirous to continue to use arms as
nearly approximating to the aforesaid insignia as might be accordant
with the laws of arms; and, whereas the said petitioner hath prayed
that we would grant our license and authority for him and his
descendants, and the other descendants of his said father and mother

petition: know ye therefore, that we have devised, and do by these
present assign, ratify, and confirm, to the said Walter Gibson
Cassels, Esquire, and to his descendants, and to the other
descendants of his said father and mother, with such congruent
differences as may be hereafter matriculated for them, the following
ensigns armorial, as depicted upon the margin hereof, and
matriculated of even date with these presents in our public register
of all arms and bearings in Scotland; viz,-
"argent, a chevron gules between two cross crosslets fitch'ee in

gules doubled, argent, and on a wreath of his liveries is set for
crest, a dolphin naiant, embossed or, and in an escrol above the
same this motto:-"avise la fin " (which means consider the end)
In testimony whereof these presents are subscribed by George
Burnett, Esquire, advocate, our depute, and the seal of day of
October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty four (1864)

The surname of Cassillis, Cassels, or the various modes in which it
is written, has not become general in Scotland; most of those
families now existing evidently dating from about the sixteenth
century. James Cassillis, b: in 1624, and his wife, Euphemia
Cassillis, born in 1623, as learned from their tombstone in
Borrowstouness churchyard, very probably moved to Bo'ness about the
year 1655.
The parish register of Bo'ness begins in 1648, and appears to have
been carefully and regularly kept. the name of Cassillis first
occurs in it in 1656, being the birth of Andrew, son to James and
Euphane Cassillis. The marriage of James and Euphemia Cassillis
does not appear in that register, and at the date of the birth of
her son Andrew, Euphane or Euphemia Cassillis would be thirty-three
years of age.
From 1656 to 1668 seven sons were b: to James and Euphane Cassillis.
It is almost certain, therefore, that James and Euphane Cassillis
had been married elsewhere some years previously to their settling
at Bo'ness, and that other children had likewise been previously b:
to them.
The absence of a James in the list of births, and the existence of a
James Cassillis at Bo'ness called the younger, leaves scarcely a
doubt that he was the son of James and Euphane Cassillis, b: before
they moved to Bo'ness.
Had James Cassillis and his wife Euphemia been married when they
were respectively twenty-four and twenty-five years of age, they
might, and very probably had several children b: to them between
1648 and 1656,
If one of these Cassels b: between 1648 and 1656 had come to America
he would be in his 30s in 1710 when Henry Cassels of South Carolina
was b:. - a period of eight years. There appears to have been a
number of the family of Cassillis resident at Borrowstouness, about
the middle of the seventeenth century. At that period it became a
place of importance. It is stated in the statistical account of
Scotland - that Kinneil was a considerable town long before any
population had collected at the Ness. In the year 1661 there were
559 communicable persons in the parish of Kinneil, the greater part
of whom resided in the town of Kinneil. In the course of the 17th.
century , Bo'ness became the great emporium of commerce with Holland
and Baltic.
And in the history of Linlithgowshire by Sir Robert Sibbald. M.D. ,
published in 1739, he says, "it is perhaps one of the best instances
of the advantages of trade can be seen in this country the
flourishing of this place (Borrowstouness), i am told that Sir
Robert Drummond of Meidop (who lived after the restoration of King
Charles the Second) declared to several of the gentrie his
neighbours, that he remembered to have seen only one house where now
Borrowstouness and the other towns now continued to Carriden stand.
I know in my time that they and the South Ferrie had some 36 ships
belonging to them, though it all that tract upon the south side of
the firth there is no port for ships to lye at, but at Blackness.
there were many rich men, merchants and masters of ships, living
there, and the cities of Glasco, Stirling, and Linlithgow had a
great trade from there with Holland, Bremen, Hamburg, Queensburgh,
and Dantzick, and furnished all the west country with goods they
imported from these places, and were loaded outwards with the
product of our own country.
All these families of Cassillis were evidently related, as is seen
by reference to the parish register, where the various witnesses to
births of the Cassillis are frequently of the same name.
it is found that
1. George, b:May 4, 1661, Baptized May 12 , 1661 in Bo'ness, Mr.
John Wauch, minister. James Cassillis the presentor of the said
child.
2. James, b:August 16, 1663, John Cassillis, Elder, and his spouse
Janet Vicar had issue
1. Helen, b:January 17, 1669. witnesses, James Cassillis and James
Hunter.
2. Janet, b:1671
3. George, b:march 15 1675.
James Cassills, younger, and Helen Burn, his wife, had issue-

Does anyone have any information on Christian CASSEL and his children
Anna Maria Ursula CASSEL and Peter CASSEL? Christian CASSEL was born
in Pfalz, Germany and came to Philadelphia on the ship Robert and
Alice in 1738. He married Christiana WETZSTEIN. Anna Maria Ursula
was born 24 Jan 1739 and married Johann Martin DERR. Peter CASSEL
married a woman named Anna Maria (surname unknown). I am looking for
information on parents and siblings of Christian CASSEL and his wife
and other children that they may have had. I would appreciate any
information anyone may have.

Can any Cassel researchers help on this one ??
Hi All:
Is anyone aware of a surname specific website for the
name CASSELL and its variants? I've checked the
major search engines recently and found nothing.
Since I've not been able to find a CASSELL page, I'm
thinking about bringing one on line, but hesitate to do
so until I'm sure no one else already has something
on-line -- why duplicate effort or compete?
An example of what I have in mind can be seen at:
http://www.concentric.net/~rayii/henderson.shtml
This site is a surname specific site (for the name
Henderson of course) that I have had on line for a
year or so, and it has had some success for
Henderson researchers.
I would be interested in any comments on this idea
that anyone might have.
Thanks
