Biography

I have estimated that Tomassina Cusimano is born around 1837, making her 20 when she marries. She is the daughter of Antonino Cusimano and Luigia Salerno.

Tomassina marries Marco Cascio, a recent widower, on 8 February 1857.^[1] His son, Salvatore, from his first marriage, born the previous November, survives to marry.

Tommasa and Marco have at least seven children together: Stefano (1858), Antonino (1860), Vincenzo (1862), Giuseppe (1865), two daughters named Maria Carmela (1867 and 1873), and Giovanni (1869).

Stefano is born 28 January 1858 and baptized the next day as Stephanum. His godparents are Vincenzo Labruzzo and Rosa Cusimano.

Antonino was born and baptized on 9 January 1860. His godfather is the unmarried Josepho Cusimano.

Giuseppe is born 3 July 1865 and baptized Josephum the next day. His godparents are Biagio Marino and Luigia, his unmarried sister.

The first Maria Carmela is born 4 January 1867 and baptized the next day. In this record, her mother's name s spelled Guzmano. Her godfather is Giovanni Streva, unmarried.

She dies on 10 July 1867 at seven months of age.

The second Maria Carmela is born and baptized Mariam Carmelam on 9 November 1873. In this record, her mother's name s spelled Guzimano. Her godmother is Aloysia Labruzzo, who is unmarried.

The eldest, Stefano, is killed in 1893 at age 35, identified in the death notice as a landowner, and bachelor.
