CASEY Discussion Group Posting:
I am seeking further information on Hannah CASEY Jackson who is found on the
Hardeman Co TN 1850, age 57 b. NC, living with her husband Needham JACKSON
(age 58 b. NC) and children: Frances, 20; Sabra 16; Needham 14. Needham
JACKSON sold property in Hardeman Co in 1851 and may have moved to Dallas Co
MO at that time. The 14 year old Needham shown above had nine (9) given
names: Needham Green Cornelius Martin Silas Stevic Eric Issac John JACKSON.
He is thought to be named for both maternal and paternal uncles . Do any of
these names give a clue to the origins of Hannah CASEY?
Was Hannah CASEY Jackson related to James A. CASEY (age 40 in 1850) who was
b in TN or to James G. CASEY (age 45 in 1850) who also was born in TN? The
wives and children are listed in the 1850 Census Index.
There are CASEY's and JACKSON's in the neighboring Madison Co TN but I do
not know the connection to these families, if any.
Apparently the JACKSON family came from NC into KY and were on in 1820 shown
in Monroe Co KY. Other JACKSON's who also appear in Hardeman Co TN who seem
to be in Monroe Co KY with Needham were Martin JACKSON, also b. 1793; and,
Isaac JACKSON b. btw 1770-1800. Silas JACKSON who is in Hardeman Co TN, b.
btw 18100-1810, is not seen on the KY 1820 census probably because he was
not of age.
This is all the information that I have although I see further opportunities
for research. Does anyone already know this family? I am researching this
family since I believe that this Needham JACKSON may be the uncle of my
GGGrandfather Needham JACKSON b. 1834 in Hardeman Co TN and later moved to
Gibson Co TN and was married there in 1855 to Frances WALLS. I have not been
able to find my GGGrandfather's parents.
Thanks for any assistance.

Turnbo Manuscripts by Silas Claiborne Turnbo 1844-1925
from Heiskell collection at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock
By S. C. Turnbo quote: IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH A BEAR
At the present writing John (Uncle Jack) Haggard is quite an old man
and lives at Peel, Ark. We have already mentioned that he settled on
Swan Creek in Taney County, Mo., in 1841. Uncle Jack is a son of
John Haggard and was born in Roanne County, Tennessee, May 22, 1823.
He married Miss Nancy Ann Jackson, daughter of Dave Jackson, another
pioneer of Swan Creek. In continuing his reminiscences of hunting on
Swan Creek Mr. Haggard says that deer would approach near the house
and settlers would kill them from the woodyard. I remember on one
occasion my wife took the cedar pail and went to the spring, which
was only a short distance from the house. When she come back she said
there were three deer near the spring and that they were not wild, or
in other words were not inclined to run. I took my rifle from the
rack, took off my hat and put on my wifes bonnet and started to the
spring and saw the deer standing at the spring. I stopped and shot
one down, the other two made no effort to run and I reloaded my gun
and killed the second one, and the other stayed close by until I
reloaded again and killed it also. There were a few bands of Indiana
roaming through the country when we come to Taney County. On one
occasion in 1842, I met a great bunch of them on Swan Creek.
They were traveling and had their women and children with them.
They were all friendly and most of the party were on horseback.
They had pack ponies with them which were loaded with furs and peltry.
There were elk in Taney County when we come here, but I do not
remember any being killed on Swan Creek, though Charles Ellis and
William Breedlove went to Bryants Fork of Big North Fork one fall
season on a camp hunt and killed several there. Tully Sanders who
lived at Forsyth owned a wild elk taken from the woods while young
which he kept as a pet for some time. I have already told you about
a panther coming to a deer lick while Henry Clift and I were there
watching for deer. Now I will tell you about an adventure my
brother-in-law,
Judge Casey, had with a bear on Swan Creek Casey, like others of old,
could not resist the temptation of hunting a bear in his den or
chasing him in the hills. Occasionally an original settler is
censured by some of the present generation for putting in nearly all
his time hunting and let the opportunity slip in not owning a choice
farm. To this I will say that hunting was a custom among the people
then and most everyone took part in it, and so they done more hunting
than plowing. There were lots of bear and other game and settlers
supplied their tables with wild meat and there was no necessity of
laboring In the field except for a little bread, when it was so easy
to obtain a support without much work on a farm. A few hunters were
very daring and would risk all sorts of danger in a bear fight to
save a dog. Judge Casey was among this class of hunters. During a
battle one day with a bear he interfered to save the life of a
favorite dog and stood in imminent peril of being attacked by the
enraged beast. The incident occurred one Sunday soon after we located
on Swan Creek. It was common among the settlers to hunt on Sunday.
People never thought it wrong to do so for It was a custom.
Down here In Arkansas we violate the Civil Law if we hunt on Sunday.
The hunting part is not considered so serious in law if we do not
shoot. It costs money here in Arkansas or a "lay it out" in jail to
fire a gun on Sunday. This is a good law and ought to be enforced
right up to its requirements for we ought to find better employment
than hunting on Sunday at this late date. We should try to avoid
violating the civil laws for It is our duty to obey the laws in force
where we reside. But away back yonder we never thought it harmful
because there were no laws in force to antagonize it and therefore,
being customary, we hunted on Sunday as well as on a "weeky" day.
So one Sunday morning, Caseys bear meat had run short, and taking
his rifle and calling his trusty dog, went off into the hills to lay
in a fresh supply. A fellow did not have to travel all day to meet
a bear then, for they were plentiful. On that Sunday morning a fat
bear was the first game he encountered and away It went with the dog
in pursuit. The chase was a long one tiresome and weary to Casey.
After making a big circuit It ran to Swan Creek, one mile and a half
above Forsyth, and went up a tree which stood In the creek bottom.
Though the hunter was nearly out stripped in the race he managed to
follow the right trail, and come in hearing of the dog while it was
barking at Bruin up the tree. Though Casey was very tired in walking
and running so far on the chase but he trudged along, and on coming
up near the tree, in close range of the big black. beast, he let fly
a bullet at it. The bear turned loose and fell to the ground,
seemingly dead. The dog leaped on it for a fight, but finding that
the bear made no resistance, left the bear and appeared well pleased
that the long, hot chase was ended. Casey thought Bruin was dead too,
but man and dog were reckoning too soon, for in a few seconds more
Bruin revived and was on his feet. The dog was as much astonished at
seeing the bear raise up as his master was. The former without
showing the least fear or hesitation, sprang at it for a fight.
The bear, though desperately wounded, was ready to receive the
"gritty" dog and as it reached the bear the latter caught it with
its teeth and would have killed it in short order but for the timely
interference of Casey. Though having no time to reload his rifle,
(he forgot to bring his hunting knife with him) he dropped the gun
and snatched up a small, sound stick of wood which lay on the ground
close by and rushed up to the bear and pressed one end of the stick
into its mouth, which partially relieved the dog, but not enough to
enable it to get away. Casey expected the black brute would turn on
him and he braced himself ready for action, In case it wheeled on him
for battle. The man could have done more to relieve the dog by
pressing the muzzle or the empty gun into the bears mouth out In
the excitement of the moment he had exchanged the gun for the piece
of wood, and this was all he had to defend himself with. The bear
paid no attention to him but held to the dog, and the hunter kept
pushing the piece of wood further into the bears mouth and held it
there until the great black creature began to totter. Then it sunk
down in the agony of death from the effects of the gun shot/wound.
"It was risky business to run up to that bear with the dog in its
mouth, but there were hunters, " said Mr. Haggard, "that would risk
their lives anytime and on any occasion to save the life of a trusty
dog. Caseys dog was severely wounded and several weeks elapsed
before he was able to take another Sunday morning bear chase with
his master." unquote

SERIOUS WOUNDS INFLICTED ON HUNTERS BY INFURIATED BEARS IN THE
BUFFALO MOUNTAINS OF ARKANSAS y S. C. Turnbo -quote:
Some of the most entertaining stories of hunting we have gathered
originated In the Buffalo Mountains. These old time bear tales were
not given me as fictitious stories and were related to me either by
the participants in the hunt or their children or close friends that
knew something about it themselves. Here is a story told years ago
by a pioneer who once lived on Buffalo of the name of John Cross
who after the incident I am about to relate lived some years on White
River just over the line In Marion County, Ark and was a relative of
Allin Lucas and family. This man said that when bears were plentiful
along Buffalo River the hunters would keep the fat bear restless and
moving. In giving the account Mr. Cross said that on a certain time
a famed bear hunter accompanied by his little boy and another hunter
with a number of dogs went out into the mountains near his cabin to
lay in a fresh supply of bear meat. The dogs who were alert while on
the hunt soon struck ones trail which resulted in a long chase
and running fight. During the chase the boy was left behind some
distance. When the bear stopped his rage was so great that he would
just as soon fight a man as the dogs.
While the dogs were fighting the animal the two hunters went up in
close rifle range, and one of the men shot, but the excitement of a
long run on foot caused him to miss. At the report of the gun the
bear charged at both men, who turned and fled at once. The one who
fired at the bear threw his empty rifle down. The men as they raced
before the furious beast remained together for a while, then
separated and ran in different directions. The bear with an instinct
common to these animals to avenge a wrong, pursued the man who shot
at it. Bruin gained on the hunter fast and the dogs were
following at his heels and harrassing him. It was a forest scene not
often met with and never to be forgotten. The man strained every
nerve and muscle to keep in advance. But he was unable to avoid the
angry brute, for after a race of a few hundred yards the man gave
out and was compelled to stop and the bear caught him by the leg
with its teeth. As the sharp teeth were crunching the tender flesh
the man suffered in agony out he managed to grab a small tree and
locked his arms around it. Two of the dogs took hold of the bears
ears. A desperate struggle followed, but the black beast refused to
release the hunters leg. While the two dogs were tugging at its ears
the bear pulled back and the man held to the sapling with ail his
strength. The strain on the hunters leg was awful and he underwent
intense suffering. He thought his leg would be pulled off. Such
strained pressure was brought to bear on his hands it seemed that
his fingers would be disjointed. It was a critical moment for the
hunter yet he believed it best for him to hold to the sapling.
At this dangerous stage the other man had lost his senses or presence
of mind as some call it and forgot to take advantage and shoot the
bear. The man, though enduring the torments of lacerated flesh by
the bears teeth and the great pull on his leg, was suffering too
severely to direct the other what to do. The little boy, who had
been left behind, was getting in hearing of the racket and soon rushed
up in the presence of the frightful scene. It took but a moment to
realize the peril of his beloved father, and snatching the other
mans gun from him and placing the muzzle of it against the bears
head, sent a ball in Bruins brains. The bear dropped to the ground
and the hunter removed his torn and bleeding leg from its mouth.
When the man got well an ugly scar was left to bear testimony of the
ferocity of Bruins wrath." Mr. Cross gave the writer the names of
these hunters and the given name of the little boy and I regret that
I have forgotten them. A story of a similar nature to the above was
told me by Jasper Casey, who mentioned in another sketch that his
grandfather, Jesse CASEY, was an early settler on Buffalo above the
town of Jasper in Newton Co., Ark. Casey was a bear hunter as well as
a preacher. Mr. Jasper Casey said that it was told him that his
grandfather, after killing a few bear to supply the family with meat
a few months, would leave home on preaching tours. He would visit
the settlements along White River and Crooked Creek and preach at all
the settlers houses who desired him to, and pay equal respects to
those who lived on Buffalo. His hunting after bear and other wild
animals was generally attended with fair success until one day when
he and his son, Steve Casey, who died on Crooked Creek in 1899, went
out together to hunt for a big fat bear, which they had seen on a few
occasions and which they knew was not hard to find. In a few hours
the dogs which were 4 in number started a monster fellow which proved
to be the one they were looking for and after a short chase It
climbed up a tree which stood on a steep hillside with a ravine or
gully a few feet below the tree. The ravine was 7 feet wide by 6 feet
deep with steep banks on each side. When grandfather and Uncle Steve
come up to the tree the former shot the bear, and it fell to the
ground as limp as if he was dead and rolled down into the gully.
He was not dead but quickly revived and rose on his feet. The brave
dogs leaped down and attacked him immediately which nearly resulted
in the death of one of the dogs. Grandfather was a great admirer of
his bear dogs and loved them because they were faithful and obedient
and if there was danger of one losing its life in a conflict with a
wild beast he would risk his own life to save one of his dogs.
When he saw that the bear was crushing the life out of his dog with
its teeth he grabbed Uncle Steves rifle, which was loaded, and took
aim to shoot the bear, but it and the other three dogs were mixed in
such a roll and tumble way and the bear still hold of the wounded dog
that he desisted for fear that he would kill or wound a dog. There
was no time for delay in waiting to see whether the dog would get
free from the bear or not for without interference the bear would
certainly end the life of his faithful animal. Snatching his knife
from the scabbard grandfather leaped into the ravine, intending to
bury the long blade into the bears body. Bruin was on his guard and
as the man drew his arm back to make a desperate stroke with the
knife, the bear dropped the dog and dealt the hunter a terrific blow
with his paw which sent him backward against a sapling. The beast
was wild with rage and rushed at grandfather and caught him by the
right knee and tore the knee cap loose with his teeth. It was a
terrible moment and Uncle Steve was horrified at his fathers
dangerous position and without a moments hesitation jumped down the
bank in front of the bear and placing the muzzle of the gun within a
few inches of the forehead, fired. The bullet tore a great gapping
hole in the head of the bear. Grandfather was careful about training
his children to never indulge in the use of improper language.
He could never allow them to use profane words or unbecoming talk of
any kind in his presence. To carry this rule out in a proper way he
would set a good example himself before his family, for it was the
desire of his heart to raise his offsprings to be honorable citizens
and obedient Christians. But as the dying bear was sinking down,
Uncle Steve could not refrain from saying, "Now, dn your black hide,
you infernal bear, I guess you will let loose of fathers leg."
Grandfather though suffering intense pain, noticed Uncle Steves
strange exclamation and remarked, "Steve, you know I taught you
better than to use such an expression, and this is the first time
I ever heard one of my children make such an uncalled for remark and
it hurts me to hear you say it." It was many a day before grandfather
was able to leave his bed. He was lame the remainder of his life."
