Notes

Elizabeth was the first Cassingham to be born in the U.S.   According to her father's citizenship oath, the family arrived at Baltimore on October 26, 1818. Elizabeth was born just five days later. Phoebe must have been very uncomfortable on that boat ride from England, being so pregnant at the time.
