My Family Tree

a Peter Cassaday was also in Rev War from Botetourt Co, VA. He was a private in
"CAPTAIN JOHN MURRAY'S REGIMENT AT THE BATTLE OF POINT PLEASANT IN THE BOTETOURT COUNTY REGIMENT"

Note in Rev War records, court mentions a different "Thomas Cassedy" in the War Rolls, and our Thomas said it wasn't him:
"This is to Certify, That it appears from a List in this Office of such Officers and Soldiers of the
Virginia continental Line, during the Revolutionary War, as settled their Accounts, and received
Certificates for the balance of their Full Pay, according to an Act of Assembly, passed the November
Session, 1781, that a Certificate issued on the 30th day of April 1785, in the name of Thomas Cassedy as a
Soldier of Infantry for £47.9.1, which Certificate appears to have been delivered to Moses Hunter and was
given for services prior to the 1st January, 1782."

[Note in his extensive pension application, he does not mention another Cassidy serving with him]

Michael Cassidy also served in 4th Virginia Regiment under Capt. William Cherry.

Since Thomas said he was born in Augusta Co, VA, it is unlikely they were related ]
