==Early life and family background==
"Lyn" was born in Rochester, New York,〔Birth records Rochester, New York re: July 20, 1935〕 where her father, Maynard Lamar Cassady,〔http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?page=1478 Cassady (Maynard Lamar) Papers, 1932-1941〕 was teaching religion at the University. Maynard was an ordained minister who had obtained his theology degree at Princeton.〔The Princeton Seminary bulletin, Volumes 14-17 by Princeton Theological Seminary〕 He met Lyn's mother, Louise Virginia Sale, at William and Mary where she had been one of his students. Louise was the last of seven children of one of Virginia's so called First Families located in Fairfield, Virginia.〔Library of Virginia, Call Number CS71.S163 2009; Author: Yaratt, Shirley Marie Thomas; Title: Connecting Sale & Thomas families of Caroline County; Compiled by Shirley Marie Thomas Yaratt; Publication: Chesterfield, Va.: S.M.T. Yaratt, 2009〕 Instead of leading a conventional existence, she became, with her husband, an active civil rights worker, a tradition which she passed on to her children. Maynard died relatively young while teaching at Crozier Theological Seminary〔Re: Crozier Seminary: Members of the Association 1945-1946, Oxford Journals, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Volume XIV, Issue I, Pp.54-64〕〔Re: Crozier Seminary: Annual Meeting, Oxford Journals, Humanities, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Volume XIV, Issue 1, Pp. 68-80〕 where Martin Luther King, Jr. was at that time a student.〔Crozier Theological Seminary, 1940's archives〕〔(The King Center, Atlanta, Georgia )〕 His three daughters, Carolyn, Elizabeth, and Anne, of which only Lyn was barely a teen, were left with their mother who moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan as Dean of Women at Kalamazoo College.〔Kalamazoo College archives〕 Louise later married Charles Johnson, pastor of First Presbyterian Church there.〔(Blogger News Network- All News- Edward Kent August 23, 2009 )〕
