    by D. M. Jones       )          Archibald Davis

Note: Elijah Cassidy was the son of Robert Cassidy and Mary Dodson.  
His wife, Dorothea, was the daughter of Henry J. Conrad and Catherine 
Stiffler.  Elijah and Dorothea had sold their property in Blair County 
to Mary Malone and were on their way West to Ohio.  I believe this Mary 
Malone was Mary Conrad Malone, sister of Dorothy Conrad Cassidy.  If 
anyone can verify that or knows the name of the Malone she married, 
please contact the submitter.
