Sorry, for the delay. The 1850 Census says that Francis, Delila and son Alexander were born in Canada, all of the rest in the US. So that would put their immigration at @ 1836, the same time that many French Canadians came to St. Lawrence County. Which St. Lawrence Census did you say they were in in 1840?

In 1840 they were living in Brasher. I have discovered that Alexander was born in Mille Roches in Canada. From that I have deduced that there were most likely family members there. Probably went to visit and had the baby while there. There were children born previous to Alexander who were born in NY, and all the ones after were also born there, so I have thought that they had just gone to visit and maybe the baby came a little early. It's funny but I have never found any evidence that either the Cassidays or the DeRosiers lived in the Stormont or Cornwall area. I am not sure what Cornwall was in the early 1800s, although information I have gathered says that they were. I am unsure of how to proceed unless I can find parents of Francis and Delia. Some have suggested that I look in the Quebec area, but with so little to go on Quebec is a very daunting area for research. I spent an afternoon at the end of August in Canton and while the staff was very helpful, I found nothing beyond what I already knew.
