Notes - Biography from Find a Grave:
Isaac was the first husband of Martha (Tipton) Cassity Price Baker (1839-1924). He married Martha on November 8, 1856 in Sullivan County, Missouri and was the father of three children with her: Henrietta, Amanda Jane and Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. Isaac was the son of Peter Thompson Cassity, II and Lydia West (Evans) Cassity. Isaac died during his service in the Union Army during the Civil War. He enlisted in Co. B, 66th EMM (Enrolled Missouri Militia) on August 5, 1862 at Cross Roads, Missouri. His brother, Peter Thompson Cassity III, enlisted on the same day. Isaac enlisted as a 2nd musician and his brother enlisted as a private. Isaac was 30 years old and had two children at the time. His brother, was listed as being 24 at the time. (I believe his brother was actually 26). Military records say that Isaac died on November 5, 1862, although some family histories list his death as November 6th, 1862. His brother was relieved from service on November 7, 1862, probably due to the death of Isaac. Isaac and Peter's father, Sgt. Peter Thompson Cassity, II, served a few months as Sgt. in Co. C, 62nd EMM from October through December 1864. When Isaac died, his wife, Martha, was pregnant with their third child, Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. His son was born about seven months after Isaac died. Isaac Newton Cassity, Jr. and his sisters were raised by Martha and her second husband, another Missouri Civil War veteran of the Union Army, Pvt. Harrison Price, also of Sullivan County, Missouri. After Pvt. Price died, Martha married her third husband, John Rowen Baker (1861-1937).
[2] - 66th EMM (Enrolled Missouri Militia). Company B. 2nd musician. Enlisted 5 August 1862 at Cross Roads, Missouri.
