Cassandra Urban: Born On the 4th of July

(Cassandra was the father of Mary Catherine Urban, wife of Timmons Literal. Timmons was our Grandpa John’s father.)

Cassandra Urban was born July 04, 1831 in Alabama, and died July 21, 1912. He married Susannah L.E. Landtroop (#114) Abt. 1855, daughter of Stith Landtroop and Mary. She was born May 27, 1837 in Alabama ??, and died November 29, 1908.(1)
Cassandra Urban was the son of Cassander Urban and Catherine Wise, the census information on the 1860 and 1870 Census shows Cassandra as being born in Alabama in 1834. Unfortunately, family oral history and Census information provided by some of Cassandra’s children indicates that he was born in Prussia and spoke German. He may have very well spoke German but the 1860 and 1870 Census, clearly establishes his birthplace as Alabama.(2)
Marriage information on Cassander & Catherine substantiates the birthplace of Cassandra as Alabama as they were married in Lauderdale County, Alabama, June 2, 1830. Family oral history and the inconsistent spelling of Cassandra and his fathers name have combined to confuse them with each other. It is most probable that the elder Cassander, husband of Catherine Wise, was born in Prussia and migrated to Lauderdale County, Alabama sometime before 1830, and had at least one son (Cassandra) who spoke some German.

Cassandra was a ‘Southern Unionist’, a Union soldier from a Confederate state. Along with his brother-in-law Stith J. Landtroop, Cassandra served with Company B, 1st Alabama Cavalry. The northern Union Army had at least one unit from every Confederate state made up of southern unionist. One of every ten southern soldier served in the Union Army.

Unidentified, unknown Littrells/Luttrels Tennessee(all spellings)

These are individuals that I have come across over the years that I have not been able to connect with any known, major, branch. In some cases they are a name on a single document (source) and no more, but sometimes they are multi-generations groups.

I am more than willing to share information as can be witnessed by reviewing this website, but you have to be willing to reciprocate. If you recognize a name and want to know more about that person, what you see is what I have, but if you can tell me more then I might be able to connect them to the missing link. That's what we are both looking for… who is the ancestor, child or sibling of someone in this list.

These are people I found in Tennessee. That doesn’t mean they were born-lived-and died in Tennessee. They could very well be someone you found in another state. I will be posting list from other states, but any names in other states have not been connected to these names. That's something else were all looking for… so we have to be willing to share.

If your new to this type of research you should realize that you can’t get fixated on how your family spells the Littrell name, or any names, including first names and nicknames.
