No, Linda, be assured that you are not the only one. I keep getting
sidetracked. Maybe we could each post our lines and ask for input.
Cassity is my husband's line. In the 1850 Census of Kentucky, Morgan County,
there is the following household listed as family #1164:
CASSITY, Elizabeth, 43, b. KY
CASSITY, Leander, 17, b. KY
CASSITY, Peter, 16, b. KY
CASSITY, William, 9, b. KY
CASSITY, John, 6, b. KY
Leander is my husband's forbear. I have had many leads on the husband of
Elizabeth, who appears to have died between 1844-1850, but no real
confirmation.
