From a Kentucky newspaper article provided by Robert Clay. . . no publisher or date for article: "Later, at age 84, Cassius married Dora richardson to the outrage of the neighborhood. Anb ill-advised possie going to forcibly remove the girl retreated hastily under a barrage of horseshoes and scrap metal fired from a pair of cannon. The neighbors left him alone after that but the young Dora left him three years later. .
. "
"Three ruffians, thinking the the 92 year old Cassius to be an easy mark, entered Whitehall, but only one left, he fleeing in terror from the ferocious old man. The ruffian left one companion dead of gunshot wounds and the other cut to bits by Cassius' Bowie knife."
I think Whitehall is in Louisville and may now be a museum of the State.
