Children: Elisha Notes for James Samuel CASS James CAST, at the age of 7 years was pressed into the British Royal Navy by a Press-gang and made to serve as Powder-monkey on the gunboat. At age 21 or 22, the boat landed at Philadelphia, PA for repairs; there he escaped and followed the Quaker Trail to Guildford, NC. In 1765 he married Nancy and they had 11 children. After 1790 James and his wife Nancy, went to Clarke Co., KY to visit their sons. While there James met two Englishmen by the name of CASS. After becoming acquainted with them he learned that one was his brother, the other his cousin. Then for the first time learned that his name was CASS and not CAST as he had been called on the boat. He related these facts to his sons and they very generally returned to the original name CASS. James Cass and Nancy returned to Iredell co, NC where he died between Jan. 15 and July 15, 1816 as his Will was probated July 15, 1816. Notes Per Adah Daniel-Gould of Fort Scott, Kansas At age seven or eight, James Cast was pressed into the British Navy by a "Press-Gang", and made to serve as a powder-monkey on a gunboat. When the boat landed for repairs at Philadelphia, PA in 1740, he escaped and made his way into NC. In 1765 he married Nancy with whom he had eleven children. After 1790 James and his wife, Nancy, went to Clarke Co., KY to visit their sons. While there, James met two Englishmen by the name of CASS. After becoming acquainted with them, he learned that one was his brother, and the other his cousin. "Then for the First Time learned that his name was CASS and not CAST as he had been called on the boat. He related these facts to his sons and they very generally returned to the original name CASS." James Cass and his wife returned to Iredell Co., NC where he died between 15 Mar 1816 - 15 Jul 1816. His will was probated 15 Jul 1816, and Adah Daniel-Gould stated she had a copy in 1955. Charles C. Hodge will search for the will in the Iredell Co., NC archives. The date of his birth is unknown in Jan 1995, but he is assumed to have been born in the 1700's.

Hi, I am trying to trace the Cass branch of my family tree. My maternal Grandmother was born Margarite (or Margaret) Louise Cass April 20, 1912 in Sherman, CT Her father was Joseph P. Cass who was born in c. 1889 (he was 23 on birth certificate) in "Amersia" (difficult to read) NY. Her mother was Grace Beatty who was born c. 1892 (she was 20 on the birth certificate) in Baltimore, MD. They both have New Milford, CT listed as their residence. Margarite (or Margaret) Louise Cass married my grandfather, Stephen H. Ferriss, on June 21, 1929. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Steve Ferriss

Hi Dan, I would love to have whatever information you can share. I am not sure of how a gedcom file works....am very limited in my computer skills....but would like to try. I have Family Tree Maker program on my computer. Will it work with that? My ggggrandmother Mary Elizabeth Cass had such a short life but I would really like to find out more about her. Thank you for any and all help you can share. Look forward to hearing from you. Ann

Cass researchers, My Cass line was in Wilkes Co.,NC in the 1700's. I have Elizabeth Cass, born about 1760, and married to Abram Cook on Jul.17,1781 in Wilkes Co. I'm not sure of the dates for Abram Cook, but they had 6 children in the Wilkes Co.,NC area. Larkin, Aaron, Isaac, Amy, Richard and Wyatt. I have some dates and spouses for the children. I have Elizabeth Cass father as Bowman Cass, with a (?). I am hoping someone has been working on this line. If you have anything, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Ida: Yes, I will be delighted to share in re Lewis Cass family. We are leaving for a month in Australia on Saturday, so I don't know if I wil be able to dredge up my sources before then. If not, I will when I return early Apr. Sorry for the delay...I'll try to get to it before. Jean

Though I don't think I have any CASS ancestors, I did find something that might be of interest. In a genealogy dictionary published in 1871 that deals with the early settlers of Québec (aka *The Tanguay), I found a CASSE (pronounced Cass) family, listed just before a whole slough of CASSÉ (pronounced cah-SAY) families. What caught my eye is that the husband and wife are both "Anglais" (English), so after looking for and finding them in the more indepth portion of the Tanguay I thought I would pass along their two listings, just in case one of you CASS reseachers have a missing Elizabeth CASS from the late 1600s/early1700s. The first shows Jacques [James] CASSE, "anglais de nation" (an englishman) and wife Elizabeth CATELIN, no date or place of marriage. Their daughter Elizabeth, baptized 1695, en "Angleterre" (England), married a man named Jean DUMONTET on November 6, 1712, in Lapraire, Canada. A Roman numeral I indicated that Jacques and Elizabeth were living in Canada. The second listing shows: Jaques [James] CASSE "Anglais" (English) and Elisabeth CATELIN 'Anglais" (English) and daughter Elizabeth, (yes, mom's name is spelled with an S and daughter's name is spelled with a Z). Daughter Elizabeth was baptized on July 14, 1705 in Montréal, Québec, and married twice. First on November 6, 1712, to Jean DUMONTET dit Lagrandeur (this means Jean was known as both Jean Dumontet AND Jean Lagrandeur; it's a Canadian-French thing) in Laprairie. Her second marriage was on January 16, 1730 to Pierre MONET. A footnote for Elizabeth says she was, "Née à Dearfield, Nouvelle-Angleterre, en 1696; prise en guerre en 1704." (born in Dearfield, New England, in 1696; captured in war in 1704) So, filling in between the lines: when the French and English were arguing over the same patch of dirt James and Elizabeth CASS and their young daughter Elizabeth were in the wrong place and the wrong time and were captured by the French. After a short bit, they were given their freedom on the condition they forswear their previous religion and/or allegence to England, so they had their daughter baptized in a Montréal, Québec church and said they'd stay in Canada. Though it doesn't say if *they* did, their daughter most certainly did. She and DUMONTET had 7 kids, 4 of whom reached maturity (and had kids). When DUMONTET died about 1730, she remarried and with MONET had 6 more kids -- the last baptized in 1737, of which at least one reach maturity. *The Tanguay is available at most family history centers on microfiche (and online AND most recently, online for sale). The full title of this 7 volume set of books is; "DICTIONNAIRE GÉNÉALOGIQUE des FAMILLES CANADIENNES depuis la fondation de la colonie jusqu'a nos jours" by "L'Abbé Cyprien Tanguay", published in the "Province de Quebec, Eusèbe Senécal, imprimeur - ëditeur -- 1871" It is written entirely in French but if you remember that B is for baptized, M is for married, and S is for buried, it's not that complicated and I'd be happy to offer help to any who want it.

A couple years back, a buddy of mine and I got to talking about genealogy. My friend was interested in tracing his CASS lines so his two youing sons could know where they came from but had no computer so I volunteered to do a little hunting for him. I was successful in that I exchanged a couple emails with a fellow named John Massa from Hendersonville, Tennessee. John ever so generously sent along his CASS research so I could send it along to my buddy, who it turns out is a cousin of John's. Not long after passing the info my buddy got a computer but due to a number of things -- including a 3 year old who took the computer apart to see how it works -- never got a chance to get in touch with John. A couple weeks ago my buddy, spurred on by his brother, decided it was time to get back on the genealogy research and asked if I could try to find John again. If any of you nice people know John MASSA, could you please pass this along to him and let him know that the grandsons of Finley CASS and Addie YOUNG -- Duane and James CASS (sons of James Melborn CASS) -- deeply appreciate the info he sent along and appologize for the long delay in sending thanks. With luck they should be online soon and ready to do some serious genealogy. Thank you Lisa Peppan [email protected]

Hi Gene & Jean Thanks Gene for taking over the list..This is only one of the lines I'm interested in... Jean you mentioned the prominet Lewis Cass.. My lines come in from the Sanborn's (Samborns) In the Sanborn Genealogies pg 100 item # 30 Nathan Samborn born in Hampton Falls Jun 27 1709 married 1733 Catherine Sattalee (I'll snip the rest for now) Children: i. Sarah b Feb 15 1734; d young ii. Hannah, b Dec 17 1735; m Joseph Cass as his 3rd wife. Joseph was the grandfather of Hon Lewis Cass, and lived in Exeter.. (if anyone need the rest of the children please let me know) Now my question is this the same Lewis Cass you mentioned as your connection? I'd love to confirm information back to John & Martha if you care to share. later -- Ida IAK Alberta Canada [email protected] list mom [email protected] list mom [email protected] list mom [email protected] list mom [email protected] Viruses can kill systems DON'T open attachments

If you are interested in the subject John Cass, who was a descendant of the John Cass who married Martha Philbrick, here is an item I posted in the NEHGS site's errata forum: There were two John Cass's born in Hampton NH (1687 & 1689), one married Hannah Gove and lived in Mendon MA. Several sources have him as son of Samuel & Mercy [Sanborn] Cass (including 'History of the Town of Hampton, New Hampshire from its Settlement in 1638, ...', and the 'Vital Records of Mendon, Mass. to the Year 1850'; the latter by providing an incorrect birth date). Other sources have him as son of Joseph and Mary [Hobbs] Cass. The latter is correct, and those interested can read a detailed proof provided by William T. Ruddock in The NY Genealogical and Biographical Record, October, 2000, page 299.

I am looking for ancestors of Charles H. Cass, b. 2-15-1836, d. 5-7-1906 . m. Eliza J. Fittery, b. 1836, d. 2-18-1918. They were my husbands greatgrandparents.

I do have his death date and would look it up if wanted. He and Martha had children...I have those also. One was the ancestor of Lewis Cass, who was a famous statesman and first Governor of Michigan Territory. He even ran for President. My ancestor was John's son, Ebenezer. His mother, Martha moved back to Boston and took the younger children with her. she remarried [also have the 2nd husband's name. They had an "Ordinary" or tavern.
