General Notes: Husband - Henry Cassel

---

He located at Marietta, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he was one of the leading men, and greatly instrumental in building up the town. He was President of the old Marietta Bank. He built a house later occupied by Mr. Watt, then one of the most costly buildings in the county.

Being the oldest son, He got the homestead and mill, where he carried on an extensive business for several years.
His wife obtained by inheritance the farm at the eastern limits of Marietta, and he removed to that place several years before either Waterford or New Haven were laid out. He was the first person along the river that did a commission business. He received immense quantities of flour, grain, whiskey, lumber, and stone-coal, which he shipped to Port Deposit in arks; thence to Baltimore, which he sold for other parties, charging a commission of five per cent.

located at Sporting Hill, Rapho township, and in 1805 came to Marietta, where he became an influential citizen and one of the pioneers in the lumber trade on the Susquehanna from Lancaster County. During the year 1812 he established an extended coal trade, having sold the product at an average price of ten dollars per ton. He organized an individual bank, which was afterward merged in the old Marietta Bank, of which he was the first president.
