A Sad Skating Fatality
John J. Cassin, Jr., son of former Assemblyman John J. Cassin of Rensselaer, was drowned Saturday while skating on a pond which had been formed by the freshet in the southern part of Rensselaer. The young man was skating in company with two young ladies when the ice gave way. All three were thrown into the water. The girls could swim and managed to keep up until aid arrived. Cassin could not swim. Two young men near by hurried to the spot. One, lying on the ice near the place, caught hold of one of the girls. The ice gave way, precipitating him into the water. The other rescuer threw a plank along the ice. One of the girls caught the board and was taken out. As she was being drawn out she cried to Cassin to catch her dress. The young man was exhausted and sank. The other girl and the first rescuer were taken out on the board. Cassin's body was recovered shortly afterward. He was a nephew of Rev. John Walsh of this city. The Democrat Chronicle on February 18, 1900 states that his body was recovered and that was a brother-in-law of Millionaire Archibald J. McClure of Albany.3

John Cassin, 1865 Portrait by Frederick Gutekunst
Birth*6 September 1813Upper Providence Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States; From the Cassinia article: "Born in the vicinity of Chester, on the Delaware, some ten miles below Philadelphia, September 6, 1813, he removed to the latter city at the age of twenty-one..." From the Biographical Dictionary: "Born on a farm in Upper Providence Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, about a mile from the present town of Media." These two statements do not agree with each other as argued by F.H. Shelton in the Cassinia in November, 1918. He was able to ascertain that indeed it was on a 40 acre tract of land near Media in Upper Providence.3,2,4,5 
School*circa 1827John attended the Quaker boarding school named Westtown School. The school is still located in Westtown, PA.6 
Religion*26 May 1828Upper Providence Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States; In the Friends Meeting census produced on May 26, 1828, he is listed as a male over 14 but under 21 and a member of the Providence Preparative Meeting. From the Cassinia article: "He came of a Quaker family, although he was apparently not an active member of this Society".7,3 
Residence*1834Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States; Reportedly John moved to Philadelphia at this time.8 
Marriage*9 July 1837Hannah Wright2 
Occupation*1842Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States; This information was found on the Towhee.net website, edited by Harry Fuller of McMinnville, Oregon. John Cassin, the ornithologist, had five species of western birds and also some species of insects named after him. He became the honorary curator of the National Academy of Science in Philadelphia in 1842 and from Wikipedia: "He is considered to be one of the giants of American ornithology, and was America's first taxonomist, describing 198 birds not previously mentioned by Alexander Wilson and John James Audubon. Cassin drew, printed and hand-colored many of the illustrations for the Pacific Railroad Surveys as the western regions of the United States were explored. He was named curator of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences in 1842, and after John T. Bowen's death, he took control of the Academy. His "Illustrations" was intended to be a 3-volume work, but financial considerations prevented more than one volume being published". From the Cassinia article: "He seems to have been a good deal of a politician both in city affairs and in those of the Academy, and served for a time in the Philadelphia City Councils. His brusque manner and determination made him a number of enemies - temporarily at least; though at heart he was kind, and to his friends always cordial and genial."1,6,9,10,3 
Land*15 January 1844Thomas Cassin; Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States; ..."converyed to his son John, also for 'natural love and affection' and the sum of $2600." This was referring to the 40 acre property and house that had originally belonged to Thomas' grandfather, Luke, and then to his father, Thomas.5 
Land*2 April 1846Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States; John conveyed the land and house that he had received from hi father in 1844 to Daniel James for $3025 as John and his family had moved to Philadelphia.5 
Death*10 January 1869Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States; This information is given in Wikipedia entitled "John Cassin". It states the date of death and that the cause of death was arsenic poisoning caused by his handling of bird skins preserved with arsenic. He reportedly knowingly suffered from arsenic poisoning for over two decades.6,11
Burial*January 1869Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States; Gravestone states: John Cassin, born in Delaware County, Sept. 6, 1813, died Philadelphia, Jan. 10, 1869.12
This is the Cassin plot. John's stone is the flat stone to the right of the others.

Transcribed by Patricia Balkcom, 15 December, 2010

My Notes: My Notes: Denis died three and a half months after writing this will. His wife had died almost twenty years earlier. Joseph was his oldest son, (although there were five daughters born before Joseph). Joseph was twenty-six years old when this will was written. By 1873, Joseph had married a woman in Ontario and relocated there.
From Eric Corrigan: I can say that Mic Corrigan who married Mary Jane Shea in 1872, my great grandfather, bought this lot of land Number 7 as well as the neighboring McNichol’s lot number 6, and these two lots of land were sold by my father and mother in 1974. I do not have the official dates or sale information.. Majela claims that he saw somewhere that when Mic Corrigan bought that lot from the heirs of Denis Cassin that he had to get clearance from some Cassins in or near Ottawa Ontario. From Memory I think there was an Elizabeth Cassin who married a brother of Mic that was living near Ottawa Ont. Follow-up: Patrick Corrigan, brother of Mic (Michael) Corrigan, married Elizabeth Cassin, daughter of Denis - it is possible they relocated to Ottawa but I have not been able to trace them.
