Terry,
I am always trying to connect any Cassidys in Chicago to my Cassidys.
You wrote:
Thomas C. Cassidy was my great-great grandfather. He is the son of John Baptist Cassidy and the grandson of Patrick Cassidy, the founder of Newry, PA.
If our Cassidys were related, it would have been a long time ago in Ireland.
I posted the obituary to assist other researchers who are looking for Cassidys in the Chicago area.
I live in a suburb of Chicago and I have Cassidys in my line.My Cassidys are from Coppanaghbane, Templeport Parish, County Cavan, Ireland (1830 to 1900).
I went to Ireland in February 2005 and saw the Cassidy land.The house is in disrepair and is uninhabitable.The land was purchased by a Susan Flanagan who owns the adjoinging land.
My great grandmother was Mary McGovern.Her parents were
Owen "Foxy" McGovern of Mully Lower, Glangevlin Parish, Co. Cavan, and Bridget a/k/a "Biddy Red Pat" Cassidy (b. abt. 1838) of Coppanaghbane, Glangevlin Parish, County Cavan.
Mary McGovern married Edward "Phildy" Sheridan of Corneenflynn, Glangevlin Parish, County Cavan on May 3, 1885 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois in May 1885.One of the sponsors for their wedding was a Cassidy.
Here are two of my postings:

I am looking for information about the family of Patrick "Red Pat" Cassidy of Coppenabane, Glangevlin, County Cavan.
I found Patrick and his family in the 1901 Ireland Census.
Patrick Cassidy, Head of Family, 70 (or b. abt. 1840), married
Ann Cassidy, Wife, 60 (or b. abt. 1850), married
Bernard Cassidy, Son, 32 (or b. abt. 1878), not married
Thomas Cassidy, Son, 30 (or b. abt. 1880), not married
Mary Cassidy, Daughter, 26 (or b. abt. 1884), not married
Nabby Cassidy, Daughter, 24 (or b. abt. 1886), not married
Ellen Cassidy, Daughter, 21 (or b. abt. 1889), not married
Peter Magee, Grandson, 6 (or b. abt. 1904)
The Mary Cassidy above married James Heart of Carrick West some time after the census was taken. They had 5 children. Bridget, Nora, John, Jimmy and Patrick Heart. All are deceased.
I believe that my great great grandmother Bridget McGovern a/k/a "Biddy Red Pat" Cassidy (b. abt. 1838) is the sister of this Patrick Cassidy. Bridget "Biddy Red Pat" Cassidy was married to Owen "Foxy" McGovern of Mully Lower, Glangevlin, Co. Cavan.
