There are times when I surf a bit (the net not the water, I'd need a 20 ft board) and occasionally find little tidbits that I save because of familiar sounding names. The following came of the KY Rootsweb project, entered by a young lady named "Elizabeth Smith" (no relation) "Mt. Sterling Sentinel-Democrat Friday, 28 May 1880, part 2 PERSONAL Wm. J. Robertson and John F. Cassidy, of Bush County Indiana, nephews of Judge Cassidy are in the city, guests of the Judge." Notice the paper name, I understand the during this time period the papers were even more political than they are now. Basically either Democrat, Republican or whatever. Have no idea where Bush County was, not in my atlas, but Rush County is, must be a transcription error. There was a "Cassady" family from KY/Iowa in Lebanon, Boone County and later in Freedom and Spencer, Owen County during late 1800's through the early 1900's. I don't know if there is a connection.

Dick Sometimes those little "maybe" postings mount up to a great deal when all things fall together. Those are among my non connect files. I like finding things in those much better as it is like a bonus find. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"
