Forgot to add the bit about Mary Elizabeth Cassidy in my previous posting:
The currently believed lineage is such:
Daniel Cassidy - William Cassidy - Mary Cassidy
Might it not be:
Daniel Cassidy - Mary Cassidy?(Here, Mary and William are siblings, and it is known through at least 1 other posting that Daniel had a daughter named Mary.)
The reason I propose this is because of the information in my last posting.Mary Cassidy married a Samuel Hanna and had a son named Samuel Peter Hanna (my ancestor).My ancestor was born in 1805 or 1808.That means that Mary Cassidy was born at least 18-20 years before that.Sources on this posting site list Mary Cassidy as marrying Samuel Hanna on 11/18/1796, which pushes back her estimated birth date to about 1775-1780.Daniel Cassidy's birth is estimated to be between 1750 and 1760.There isn't enough time between his birth and Mary's estimated birth for another generation, and as such I'm inclined to believe that Mary and William are siblings.
Again, let me know if this sounds totally off-base.
