Hi; My husbands family includes John Miller Sanford, married to Electa Cassety, who is sister to his 3-G. grandmother, Nancy Cassety, m. Joshua Calvin, Williams Co., OH. So this is not a direct line, but it's nice to make a real connection. I don't have very much on the Cassety family, they also came from Steuben Co., NY, but will share what I do have if interested. Carol

To Carol Barton, and others interested in CASSETY/SANFORD records, This is what I have on Edward Cassety, and 3 generations of family. IF your records connect to any of this record, I would like to see a copy of your record, at least to yourself. And Carol, I'd like to see a copy of your record of the descendants of this Edward and Susannah Cassity, at least to yourself. Hope this is helpful to you, and I will share my records.
