Joyce,
Since you mentioned the Casey's of Franklin Co, GA - I am searching for my
ancestor's father. James Franklin Casey, b. 6 Jul 1852 in GA d. 1906 in
Knox Co KY is listed in the 1870 Franklin Co, GA census with William Casey,
66, Rebecca Crow Casey, 69, Franklin Casey, 23 (male), Patilla C. Casey, 37
(male). James Franklin is just 8 then. Old stories say that his father was
wounded in the Civil War and came home to die from his wounds. I have been
unable to verify who his father his - do you or anyone else have any
suggestions for me??
Thanks for any help!
Kasie (pronounced Casey) Floyd Freeman

...please tell me about your findings on any other Christopher's.
Re: "Other Christophers..." you inquired about, Tim...
An interesting one is the Christopher Casey on the 1804/05 tax list in
Franklin Co., GA. Reference, "Franklin County Georgia Records, p. 45 by
Frances Wynd. Who is this Christopher? I have suspected that he would
be tied up somehow with Abraham Pennington Casey who was in north
Georgia in 1793-1795:
1 Oct 1793, Franklin Co., GA muster roll taken by Samuel Walters, Capt.
Abraham Casey was on the muster roll of 1st Co. Dist. "commencing at the
mouth of Lightwoodlog Creek...." [jhh note: I believe this to be
Abraham P. or Pennington Casey since one Abraham Penington Casey
witnessed the deed of John and Sarah Morris to Cornelius Cain in 1795
for land on Lightwoodlog Creek. The deed was faded and torn but his
name can be made out as stated.]
There were other Casey/Morris connections in Georgia, but I'm getting
into the "octopus syndrome" so will leave at this for now. - Joyce
