So pleased to know that there are others who are researching CASSITYs in Kentucky. My
gggrandfather, Alvin B. Cassity, was born in Owingsville, Bath, Kentucky on 20 Feb 1826.
He enrolled in the Kentucky Volunteers at Louisville on 9th of June, 1846. He served in
the Mexican War & was discharged in 1850. Then he appears on the 1850 Federal Census
in Jackson county, Missouri. Then in 1851 he married Sarah Ann Cantrell at Westport,
Jackson, Missouri. They started their family while living in Bates County, Missouri &
were listed on the 1860 Federal Census there. By the latter part of the 1860s, Alvin
& Sarah had moved their family to Collin County, Texas where he signed the Oath of
Allegiance to the Union in 1867. Eventually, the Cassity family moved on to Hood County,
Texas. I am especially interested in finding out who were Alvin Cassity's
parents/family in Bath County. Sure would be glad to exchange information.
