Audrey, I wanted to get back with you to point out a transcription error in the info below that you sent. There has been much confusion about the last name of Minerva Jane ALDRIDGE's first husband, Frank CASSETTE. I have heard it as CORZETTE, GAZETTE, KASSETT, and CASSETTE. My mother was never certain. However, I am working with my cousin, Jerri CUTHBERTSON, on this family line. Her mother was Estelle WISE; her grandmother was Clara Irene CASSETTE; and her great grandparents were Minerva Jane ALDRIDGE and Frank CASSETTE. She confirms that, as long as she can remember, CASSETTE was the last name used. So, I'm telling you that instead of the GAZETTE that you have in your records, it should be CASSETTE. Additionally, the three granddaughters of Waitsil ALDRIDGE that you have listed in the email below SHOULD be Jerri's grandmother, Clara Irene CASSETTE (probably born in Florence, Freemont Co., CO and married Cleveland G. WISE), and Clara's siblings, Flora CASSETTE b 06 Aug 1890 Mitchell Co., NC (married James Ralston RHYNE), and Maude CASSETTE b 30 Nov 1892 NC (married Ira VANCE). There are considerable discrepancies about WHEN Clara was born 1893-1900 but it is certain that she was the youngest of the three girls born to this couple. I continue to look for information on this family line (as well as descendants) but have had little luck. If you run across additional leads, I would welcome them. Will send copies of this to cousin Jerri as well as several of the lists that I am researching them on. Happy hunting! Tamara G.
