Her father was David Nelson and mother was Susan Le-Brevier. She had one brother that I was able to confirm by the name of David and I was verbally told that she had three sisters (names unknown). I cannot access my hard copies at this moment (without waking up the rest of the family) but I will pull them out tomorrow and let you know if I can provide any additional information.

Karen,
I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I do not have any info on David White.
Do you have any info on Rebecca's parents or siblings?

Thanks,
Ray

Hello Ray!
Unfortunately I don't have much more information that what was contained in the original post (marriage license, divorce docket (from Rebecca's 1st marriage) and census records). Joseph was the second husband of Rebecca; my husband's line is off of her first marriage to John M. White (my ancestral brick wall) and their only child David M. White (sometimes referred to as David Cass in census records).
I am trying my best to locate John White and would really like to know if anyone could give me a lead to his whereabouts after 1905.

HI Lucy,

I'm related to Ezekiel B Cass, and just found your entry. Wow that's certainly interesting. I have seen that Ezekiel's middle name is supposed to be Benjamin. have you ever proven that?

I'd love to correspond with you through email about your research, and swap notes. Please email me at:
amoore@nnpstv.com

I'm related through Ezekiel's first wife Amanda Williams. me and some other family members are trying to unravel his activities after their divorce.

Thanks.

ISAAC CASS/CASE

JHayward4695 — 2012-01-30 20:35:46Z

Searching for any information on Isaac CASS and his wife Mary MINOTT. They were married by Simon Stevens, 14 March 1784 in Springfield, VT. He appears in the 1790 census of Shrewsbury, VT and in the 1800 census of Wells, VT. Then again in the 1820 census of Poultney, VT. They had at least six children. I believe one of his sons was Ichabod CASS/CASE. Probate records show Ichabod Case of Wells was appointed Administrator of the estate of Isaac CASE late of Poultney in 1823.

I would appreciate any help with this family.

GATEWOOD - CASS - JACQUES - GEREN

private — 2011-10-29 19:49:36Z

Seeking marriage info on WILLARD C. CASS born in Illinois in
1895. Willard married Minnie Gatewood but, I have no marriage license and would like a copy of the record. (Doesn;t have to be the certified marriage record but, a marriage license would be fine), married in Illinois.
Willard then married Hettie Florence GEREN or JACQUES but, I cannot even find that marriage indexed anywhere.
Willard worked on the Railroad and traveled from Illinois completely across Ohio and could have married in either of those states about 1924 or 1925 for the second marriage.
Thanks for any assistance with the surnames GATEWOOD, CASS, JACQUES and GEREN.
God Bless! Bob linbob@tds.net

Re: LEWIS CASS

tortner — 2011-07-31 20:15:02Z

Lewis Cass is my Gr, Gr, Gr grandfather. As I have always heard the story, his son and his girlfriend had a son out of wedlock. This would have been quite the scandel at that time so the baby was "given away" to a German family by the name of Kunkle. I'm not sure if there is a record or if there were legal adoptions at that time. A year later this couple became pregnant again and Lewis Cass forced them to marry. They remained in the same town as the Kunkle family and the boys attended the same school a year apart from each other. People would comment on how these 2 boys from 2 different families looked like twins. I think they later found out that they were actually brothers. I have not been able to find the connection in my search between this child and the Cass family. My grandmother's grandfather was Lawrence Kunkel and he should be the son who was adopted out. If anyone knows any info I was greatly appreciate it.

I have found an Eliza J Cass born 1884, my second great grand aunt. Please let me know if this is the same one because it would answer some questions about that part of the family I am trying to answer and any information would be greatly appreciated.

Although the dates do not match up you might want to look into her because perhaps she was named for her? She came here from Durham, United Kingdom.

I am looking for information above them if you have any that would be very helpful! this seems like a lost branch of the Cass family! I am also curious about your heritage because my mother's maiden name was White.

Hi Bryan!

I am not sure if I am a descendant of the Cass which you speak but I know I am descendant of Joseph and Sarah Cass and my last name still is Cass! All of the Cass' I have traced are from Pittsburgh, PA. I am still learning and researching my family tree but would love to be invited to this website if it is still going on to meet some possible relatives and learn more about my family.

leahkc17@gmail.com Thanks so much!

Re: Cass Ancestry

I have traced back to Liverpool but am having a hard time finding them as well. Might I ask who you are related to?

Re: i'm a cass!

leahkc17 — 2011-03-07 02:22:44Z

Hi Kimberly! I am a Cass from Pittsburgh as well! We must be related. I wonder if you have ever been to the Borish/Cass family reunion?

If we are related, then it makes sense you are French because a relative of mine tracked us way back and said we were related to Lewis Cass and that there was a lot of French in our background, only not under the Cass name.

I am currently researching Cass' from Pittsburgh and seem to be stuck on Joseph and Sarah Cass. Any help on the Cass line or member connect opportunities would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
