From: bravo25@erols.com (Joe Cassilly)

My name is Joseph I. Cassilly. Our branch of the Cassilly family has lived in Maryland since about 1885. My father is Robert Rogers Cassilly, Jr. his father was senior and my great grandfather was Thomas Alexander Cassilly. I have found an old court case dated 1851 in Maryland where one of the parties was a Cassilly, but I have been unable to connect him to us. Our family had at one time had a dry goods company in Canton, Ohio. I have found a reference to the Cassilly Company Store in an 1831 report of a flood. I would dearly love any info you have on the Cassilly arrival from Ireland. One of my uncles has a family Bible which lists 7 brothers a and a sister who came from Ireland but there aren't any dates and I suspect that the entries were probably from their grnadchildren or later. I am hoping to find a port of entry.
