Notes for Peter Hayes Cassity Sr.
Mae (Hall) Gilkison writes in a letter of 16 Sep 95, "My husband's mother, Grace Cassity Gilkison, age 93, is a daughter to the Peter Cassity Sr. that married Mahala Jane Hall, sister to my grandfather (and your great-grandfather) George W. Hall. After Mahala Jane died, which they had several children, one that I knew personally - Mathew Cassity, my mother-in-laws 1/2 brother - Peter Cassity Sr. married Lula Roberts, my mother-in-laws mother. They had 10 or 12 children, most of them I knew or know as some are still living, as my mother-in-law is. Also, my mother-in-law had a sister, Martha Cassity Markwell, whose son Mason married one of Perry Hall's daughters, Pauline."

None of Peter's marriages is recorded in Rowan County.
