Fleming County

GILBAR A. CASSIDY was born in Fleming County, Ky., October 6, 1849.  He is a
son of Samuel E. Cassidy, who was born at the same place, and was a son of
Michael Cassidy, who came from Ireland to Maryland, enlisted under
Washington and served through the Revolutionary war.  After peace was
declared, Michael came to the newly erected county of Mason, established
Cassidy Station, represented the county in the State Legislature, and when
Fleming was taken off, represented that county nine terms.  Samuel E.
Cassidy was born in 1818, was deputy county clerk under the old Constitution
for eight years, and died in 1883.  Gilbar A. Cassidy read law with Ex-Judge
James W. Anderson, was admitted to practice in 1872, and was for four years
in partnership with J.P. McCartney and two years with Judge Anderson.  In
1878 he married Miss Mamie S. Sharp, a native of Cynthians, Ky.  Two
children have blessed this union, Curtiss Sharp and Octavia.
