Biography
- Her father's 1824 Will names her as his daughter.
- Her husband's Will names her as his wife[1]
- Census records source her DOB in 1805[2] and in 1808 [3]
Her 1808 DOB is fortified by her clearly engraved headstone[4] and "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900" [5]
- 4 Jan 1823 marriage to John Toothman in Monongalia, Virginia.[6]
- - if we accept the DOB on her headstone, then Cassandra was just 14 years-old when she married 22 year-old John. It helps that her 1808 DOB is supported (sort of) by her 1830 census.
- Residence: 1830 - Western District, Monongalia, Virginia[7]
- - males 5-9 (1) 30-39 (1) ///// females <5 (2) 20-29 (1) **** looks like dad John (32) mom Cassandra (22) kids: Sarah Ann (0)
- - but this census record could still be accurate using her 1850 census DOB of 1805... making her 17 at her wedding and 25 in 1830.
- - sure seems unusual that this couple had no children until 7-years of marriage!
- Residence: 1840 - West Monongalia, Monongalia, Virginia[8]
- - 1840 census also supports Cassander's 1850 DOB (1805)
- - males <5 (1) 5-9 (1) 10-14 (1) 40-49 (1) ///// females <5 (1) 5-9 (2) 10- 14 (1) 30-39 (1) *** appears to be dad John (42) mom Cassie (35) kids: boys -Wm (1) Christopher (3) Eugene (11) girls - Marcella (0) Elizabeth (5) Margaret (7) Sarah Ann (10)
- Residence: 1850 - Western District, Marion, Virginia[2]
- - as said... 1850 cen supports Cassie's 1805 birth.
- - dad John Toothman (52) mom Cassander (45) kids: Anngenoa (21) Margaret (17) Elizabeth (15) Christopher (13) William R (11) Marcella (9) James K (7)
- Residence: 1860 - District 5, Marion, Virginia[9]
- - dad John Toothman (57) mom Cassandra (52) William (21) Marcella (14) James K (12) Nimrod (8)
- 27 Mar 1874 - John's Last Will & Testament[10]
- - names: wife Cassander, sons Christopher, William R , & James JG, daus Margaret Wilson, Elizabeth Mershact, Marcella Toothman, & deceased kids: son, Eugene & dau Sarah Ann Neeley.
- John Toothman passed away in 1875 in Marion County, West Virginia.
- Cassander's death in "West Virginia, Deaths Index, 1853-1973" is 31 Oct 1890. But this record is confusing because it cites a Monongalia County DOB of 1799 [11]
- FAG says Cassandra is buried in the Shuman-Toothman Cemetery, Baxter, Marion, West Virginia, United States [12]
- children with Cassander:
- - Eugene (1825-1871)
