Notes	In the year 1881, Dennis was involved in bridge and roadwork in the Town of Hanover. According to the 1881 Annual Report for the Town of Hanover, Dennis J. Cashman worked on the "Bridge at West Hanover, near A. F. Bonney's," and on the "Water Street Bridge." The Town of Hanover paid Dennis $13.50 to "relay stone work" for the West Hanover bridge and $5.62 for "labor" on the Water Street bridge. The Town paid him $11.70 for "special repairs on Water Street." (Research):* CAUTION * There is a DENNIS J. CASHMAN who died in 1947 and lived in Milton. He lived at 207 Eliot Street. He died Thursday, May 29, 1947, at his home after an illness of several months. He was 72 years old and had been employed as a gardner on the estate of Robert F. Herrick. He came to Milton more than 50 years ago (circa 1897). He was born in County Cork, Ireland. He was a member of St. Gregory's Court, MCOF. His funeral was held the morning of Monday, June 2, at St. Gregorys Church. He is buried in Milton Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Annie Ronan, one grandchild and a son, WILLIAM J. CASHMAN. William is employed by the Milton Water Department. As far as I can tell, these men are not releated to Jay. ========= BAPTISMAL RECORD HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED Dennis was born in 1851. There were not that many Catholic Churches in the Greater Boston area at that time. Churches that would have been around at that time include: Holy Cross Cathedral (Boston) - established 1788 Saint Mary (Boston) - established 1834 Holy Trinity (Boston) - established 1836 Saint Patrick (Boston) - established 1836 Saint Mary (Quincy) - established in 1840 << 1ST ON SOUTH SHORE >> Saint Thomas Aquinas (Bridgewater) - established 1848 Saint Mary (Randolph) - established 1851 On 29 Jun 2020, I searched the baptismal index of Holy Cross Cathedral (Boston) at AmericanAncestors.org. The following volumes and pages were searched for Dennis Cashman who was born abt 15 Oct 1851. No record of his baptism was found. VOLUME: PAGES Holy Cross (Boston) Index of Baptisms & Marriages, 1822-1852 19-28 AmericanAncestors.org has baptismal records for St. Mary's in Quincy for the years 1844-1850 and 1900. The year of Dennis' birth, 1851, is not covered. Saint Thomas Aquinas in Bridgewater has baptism records starting in 1853. Too late for Dennis. (Medical):He was in good health at age 40.

Photos		006 1858c Cashman family portrait This is a tintype copy of an older ambrotype taken circa 1858. It is believed to be an image of James Cashman, his wife, Catherine Long, and their first seven children. This image was sent to Maureen Taylor, a nationally-known photo historian, for analysis and she said that it looks like it was taken in the 1858-1860 time frame because of the very wide collars that everyone is wearing and the style of the clothing of the women and children. In 1858, James Cashman and Catherine Long had seven children: Joanna, Julia, John, Dennis, Catherine, James Timothy and Mary Priscilla. Three more children would be born later: William in 1859, Ellen in 1862, and Luke J. in 1866. From left to right, the children in the photo would be...John Cashman (approx. 9 yrs old), Johanna Cashman (approx. 13 yrs old), James Timothy Cashman (approx. 2 yrs old), baby, Mary Priscilla Cashman (approx. 8 mos old), Dennis J. Cashman (approx. 7 yrs old), Catherine Cashman (approx. 4 yrs old), and Julia Cashman (approx. 11 yrs old). In the center of the photo there are three adults. The imposing man with the suit and tie could only be James Cashman. The woman to the right of center must be his wife Catherine Long. Due to the striking resemblance of the two adult women, Maureen Taylor was of the opinion that they were closely related, probably mother and daughter, as they have the same face shape, eyes, nose and mouth. It was common during this time period to pose a family matriarch in the center of the photo, a place of honor. It is possible that Catherine’s mother, Julia Long, may have come for a visit and gone back to Ireland at a later date. According to Maureen, this was not unheard of in the mid-1850s, but definitely a big enough deal that you might want to have a photo taken to commemorate the occasion. It is believed that the three adults in the center of the photo are James Cashman - family patriarch (age 38), Julia McNamara Long (Catherine's visiting mother), Catherine Long Cashman (age 34).
