Hi,
My great-great grandmother was Katherine Cashon. I'm uncertain whether "Cashon" was the original spelling of the family name. I've seen so many variations: Cashen, Cashin, Cashion, etc.
She was born in Port Jervis, Orange Co, NY (about 40 miles from Newburgh) in March 1853, but I have no information about her parents. I believe they were born in Ireland.
She moved (presumably on her own) to Williamsport, Lycoming Co., PA, where she was living and working in the 1870 census. She later married Joseph George Deuel, and they raised a large family in Williamsport.
I'm guessing that she was a relative of your Cashins. Can you make the connection?
Thanks,
Keri
