Cass County was formed in 1837 out of Morgan County. It was named for Lewis Cass, a general in the War of 1812, Governor of the Michigan Territory, and United States Secretary of State in 1860. Cass was serving as Andrew Jackson's Secretary of War just before the County was named. Neighboring counties are: Brown, Mason, Menard, Morgan, Sangamon, and Schulyer.  Our thanks to Michelle Bley for her many, many years of dedication to Cass County genealogy and ILGenWeb as a project.  I am looking for your family history research to add to our pages.  Contact me to add your genealogy websites, family descendent reports and ancestor information.
