I am curious about a John Casey that I recently found on the 1850 census in
Wayne Co., TN and since you mention Wills and Wilson Casey I thought this
would be the time to ask a question.
There are 2 Abner Caseys shown on the 1820 Wayne Co., TN census.
According to Tennessee Land Grants a John Casey was granted a land in Wayne
County in 1826.
Listed in the 1830 Wayne County census are a Willis, Wilson and Ira Casey.
In 1840 Wilson Casey and a Jas H. Casey (ancestor of David L. Casey Kit #
45068 ?????) are the only Caseys shown in Wayne County.
By 1850 the only Caseys in Wayne County are John Casey age 14, Elizabeth
Casey age 19 and Jane Casey 16, all living in the household with the Henson Rey
family. Who were the parents of these children? By 1860 John Casey has married
Sarah Battles and is listed in 1860 and 1870 Wayne Co., TN and by 1880 he
and his family have moved to Sharp Co., Arkansas.
This is not my line (mine is Jesse E. Casey kit #56874) - just rounding up a
few stray Caseys! Any help appreciated.

Why do you think Dempsey maybe connect to the Pasquotank Co NC Casey's ??
Willis Casey was there in Pasquotank Co NC I think I found him in the
census, I believe Wilson Casey who died in IL is connected to Willis Casey.
I would have to find my notes. This is my opinion. Need to compare some
notes on Willis Casey and Wilson Casey where we can find them in the census.
I think there was also an Aaron Casey found with Wilson or Willis Casey in
TN.
