Cassius M. Havens was born in Allegany, New York in March 1845; in 1869 he married Adelaide Illick. They had 4 children: Beluach, Ninabelle, Grace and Hubert. Cassius was a sergeant in the Civil War in the 19th Regiment NY Volunteer Cavalry (later the 1st Reg NY Dragoons). Cassius died in 1907. I can't find a death date for Adelaide.
