Hello to all, I am researching primarily my Cassidy lines from where I strongly believe come from Roslea, Co.Fermanagh. This is what I know. I am a 7th descendant of Benjamin Cassidy, born 1784 of Chesterfield, South Carolina, married to Barbara Bryant, brother to Levi Cassidy, b.1790 also of Chesterfield, SC. It is speculation, but I believe Zachariah Cassidy, b.1755 in Ireland and married to Mary Idly of Ireland to be Benjamin's father. Some believe William Cassidy, b. 175? (Zach's older brother to be the father, BUT either or) I have information that Zachariah's and William's father is a Lucas Cassidy, believed to be from Roslea or anyway, somewhere in Co.Fermanagh. Lucas left 1750 for Cheraw South Carolina to a bishop lynch. I have some information on the Lynch family in that area. I am interested in finding out about Lucas Cassidy to see if anyone knows his children, as well as the father to Benjamin. Hopefully, if there is some information in Co.Fermanagh or thereabouts to fill in missing links. Also, to know the story of Lucas, why he left, why Cheraw S.C., etc. Any information would be appreciated and I will be attending the Cassidy Clan rally in Fermanagh this summer. Regards, Brent Cassidy

If you have no response I would strongly recommend contacting Oliver McCaffey at the Rosslea Heritage Centre I am very interested in the LYNCH family's from the Rosslea area and have some information about them.
