Notes for Joshua Dehart
The county clerk’s annual vital statistics report to the Kentucky state auditor for 1906 lists Joshaway Dehart, age 60, married, farmer, died 27 Feb 1906, cause of death blank, parents Gabe & Martha Dehart, both born in Morgan Co.
Since he was listed as age 7 in the 1850 census and age 17 in the 1860 one, the age at death is probably wrong.

Notes for Elizabeth Sabina Cassity
Morgan Co., Ky, report of deaths for 1878 to the state auditor records Susan Dehart, age 32, married, died 27 Feb 1878, cause of death consumption, father Jefferson Cassity.
I can’t find any other Jefferson Cassity in Morgan Co., nor any record of Jeff Cassity and Amanda Smith having a daughter named Susan, so this must be the same person as their daughter Elizabeth.

Notes for Joshua & Elizabeth Sabina (Family)
According to Dale Perry, a grandson of Ted & Lizzie Cassity, Joshua Dehart married Sabina Elizabeth Cassity on 24 Mar 1869 in Morgan Co, but the census says they were married in March of 1870.
Herb Lewis’s web site says they were married on 11 Feb 1869 in Morgan Co.
Morgan Co. marriage books record the marriage on 24 March 1870 of Joshua Dehart and Sabina E. Cassity at William Mynhier’s by William Mynhier, witnesses Ellis Cartmill, William Hall and Jesse Dehart.
What is curious is that the 1880 census lists her parents with a 9 year old daughter Sabina L. Cassity. While I can see reusing the name Sabina for another daughter born after Elizabeth died, it seems strange to reuse the name when the elder daughter by that name was still living.
