   HONORING THE EIGHTH GENERATION OF CASHELL'S IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, 
                                MARYLAND

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 17, 1998

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, Montgomery County, MD, the district which 
I am proud to represent in Congress, is perhaps one of the most 
transient districts in the Nation. That is why it is a distinct honor 
to bring to your attention a family celebrating their eighth generation 
of Montgomery Countians with the births of Cashell Lee Hurdle, born 
February 22, 1998, son of Gaines Finley Hurdle and Kenneth Lee Hurdle 
of Bethesda, and McLean Gerald Morgan and Sarah Louise Morgan, both 
born December 4, 1997, the children of David Gough ``Rusty'' Morgan and 
Karen Brown Morgan of Rockville. This new generation comes from a 
family lineage of distinctive Montgomery Countians. They are a direct 
descendant of George Cashell, born in Cashel, Ireland, 1748, who 
immigrated to this country and died in Montgomery County in 1802. 
Cashell's great-great grandfather, Francis Hazel Cashell (1872-1930) 
was the owner of extensive farmland in the Redland area of Montgomery 
County and the Cashell Motor Company in Rockville. He was a member of 
the Maryland House of Delegates, elected in 1917. His great-
grandmother, Alice Cashell Keech, (1896-1994) was an avid fox hunter 
and sportswoman, and a 98-year resident of Montgomery County. Sarah and 
McLean's great-grandfather, Jo V. Morgan, Sr., a Bethesda resident for 
44 years, was the county's first civil service commissioner and a judge 
of the District of Columbia Tax Court. The children's grandmother, 
Alice ``Cissy'' Grant of Potomac, has chronicled life in Montgomery 
County for 40 years in various newspapers and magazines.
  I have always proclaimed what a wonderful place Montgomery County is 
to raise a family. This family, with eight generations having made this 
county their home, is a living testament to its appeal. I send to all 
of them my warmest best wishes.
