Hello,
My family name is another version of Cassil. It is Cossel. My
relatives seem to have come to the US in early 1800s and settled in
Washington Co.,VA, then moved on to Coles Co., IL about 1830. The
father was Michael Cossel and the mother Mary Fleenor. In the 1840s
several Cossels moved to Jefferson Co., IA. In reviewing census
records, the name was listed as Cassel(l), Cossel(l) and sometimes
Cassil. Most common first names were Michael, John , William, Solomon,
Mary, Katherine, Margaret, Nancy and Elizabeth. I am searching most of
all for John born abt 1800-1804.
