Research Note*Denis Cassin; I think it is possible that Michael and Denis both born in the 1770s are brothers or possibly cousins:
1. Both were married in the same Catholic Parish of Castletown.
2. Military records for each of them put there birth places close together (however, I have no proof that these are THEIR military records).
3. Michael has a son named Denis. 
Birth*circa 1772Queen's County (Laois), Leinster Province, Ireland; Date of birth is based on the age of 70 listed on his tombstone. However, the stone says he died in 1843 and the church records state he died in 1842. I suspect that the church records are correct as the stone was erected in 1853, when Michael' daughter died, about 10 years later.
There is also a military record for a "Michael Cassin" aged 38 in 1810, born in Upperwoods Parish in Queen's County. I don't have proof that this is the same Michael Cassin, but it seems quite possible as the age would match his age and baptismal records for his children that were from the church in Castletown, Queeen's County, stating he was living in Shanderry.1,2,3,4 
Marriage19 May 1793Margaret Kelly; Castletown, Offerlane Civil Parish, Queen's County (Laois), Leinster Province, Ireland; I do not have complete proof that this is the correct Michael Cassin and Margaret Kelly. However, the date and place of marriage lends credence to it.
The extracted transcription states:

Parish/District: Castletown, Co. Laois

Roman Catholic (both husband and wife)
Witnesses were Garret Kavanagh and Mary Kelly.5
Military*between 1800 and 1814At this time I have no proof that these are the records of my ancestor, Michael Cassin, but the date of birth, place of birth seems plausible. It would also make sense that Michael would have served in the military as many of the early settlers of Valcartier were given land as a result of military service. Also, several of the first settlers (the Abraham and Bethel families) were from the Upperwoods area of Queen's County.

Death*11 October 1842St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada11 
Witness: Margaret Kelly
Burial*13 October 1842St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier Catholic Church, St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; Transcription of church burial record: "On the thirteenth of October, one thousand eight hundred and forty two, we, the undersigned curate of this Parish have buried the body of Michael Cassin who died one' yesterday aged Seventy years, lawful husband of Marg. (could say Mary) Cassin of Valcartier; present Nicholas Vandal and Charles Martel who cannot write. H. Paisley, Priest." (It is possible that this indicated he died the "day before yesterday" which would match the date on his gravestone).
Michael has a gravestone erected in the St. Gabriel's Cemetery that appears to have been erected by his son-in-law, William Neilson.
The tombstone inscription states:
     Contiguous lies the body
      of her affectionate
      Father
      Michael Cassin
      who died
     on the 11th of Oct 1843
          Aged 70 years
     
     (on the side)
     Underneath this stone
      Lies the body of
      Margaret
The affectionate and Beloved Wife of
      William Neilson
who died on the 22nd day of May 1853
Aged 38 years 6 mons and 22 days
This memorial was erected by her husband.
      July 1 1853
(Note: The stone states Michael died in 1843 whereas the church records say 1842. Since the stone was erected 10-11 years after Michael's death, it would seem that the church record of 1842 is more accurate.)11,1
Note*7 July 1846According to Notarial records of Dominique Lefrancois, Michael sold land to Charles Fitzpatrick - was this land disposed of after his death? I have only seen the index, not the deed - to be checked at Quebec archives.

Charles Kack is his other neighbor. Edward and Bridget lived on Lot #853 which was eventually sold to Edward Cassin (their son) and Mary Jane Brennan and remained in her name until about 1918 when it was sold to Fred Kack and in 2000 belongs to his son, Cecil Kack.

It also states that there was a death in the family in the last year (says Jun 9, fever). This column was supposed to be for age & cause of death. They did have a 6 year old son die in February of 1851. They also had a baby born in December, 1851, who appears to have been left off the census.

Migration*between 1859 and 1860Lebanon, Waupaca County, Wisconsin, United States; Moved from Valcartier, Quebec to Wisconsin. It is interesting that Michael is found in the 1860 census for Wisconsin and in the 1861 Census for Valcartier. The Wisconsin census was taken in July and Michael is listed with his wife and two children but the Valcartier lists him as living with his parents, married and does not list his wife or children. However, his sisters are also listed as married and also living in this house even though their husbands are not listed. It is possible that the census taker listed them as the children of Edward even though they were not physically living there. Some Valcartier researchers believe that the 1861 census was actually taken a year earlier.6

Living with him is his wife and two children. They are living next to Corrigan brothers, Michael and John and their families, (who are the brothers of Michael's wife, Jane) and also the Mooneys who were also from Valcartier. It is interesting that Michael is found in the 1860 census for both Valcartier and Wisconsin.
