THERE ARE CONFLICTING PEDIGREES
Some have chosen the John Cass who was b. in 1689 in Hampton as the husband of Hannah Gove b. 1691. That John Cass supposedly died in 1709 at age 19. He was the son of Joseph Cass and Mary Hobbs.
The records of New England Historical and Genealogical Society record his birth as Hampton, NH in 1687. There are several family histories which say Deacon John was the son of Samuel Cass and not the son of his brother Joseph Cass. Unless a DNA test of the mother is done, there will always be an argument. I chose the birthdate of 1687 because the gravestone records it as such and so does the NEHGS. The last child of John Cass and Hannah Gove recorded in Mendon was SAMUEL, b. 1731!!
