  • Notes 
    • MHR note: James married second to Mary D. (Clack) Ringo. She was the widow of Lott Ringo whom she had married 7 September 1815 in Fleming County, Kentucky. Mary and Lott Ringo had 5 children: Fidelia Ringo (m. McPherson), Burtis G. Ringo (m. Nancy), Ann L. Ringo (m. H. T. Prather) , William Wallace Ringo, and Harrier D. Ringo (m. Sapp). Mary D. Clack was the daughter of Moses Clack. Mary D. (Clack) Ringo Cassity had two brother: Dixon Clack and Philip D. Clack.
      [1]
    • MHR note: Mary Ann Cassity is given as "Polly Ann" on the stone. The Hargiss Cemetery is across a very narrow road from the railroad tracks. the graves have coffin-like covers and there is a tiny one beside theirs and a child-sized one next to that, both without inscriptions. The man living next to the little cemetery (James Edward Hall) said several stones had disappeared from the cemetery one night. One may have been that of their son, "Russell" Cassity.
      [1]
    • LKH note: Burials in the Hargis Cemetery were relocated during the Cave Run Lake construction project, 1965-1974. Some burials were relocated to Alfrey Cemetery. However, I can find no information for relocation of James Albert Cassity and his family.
