Hi Tim,
I hate to impose myself on your conversation but have a few thoughts.
The estate paper of Aaron Casey that you made reference to could be the
estate papers of Aaron Casey, son of Jesse Casey. That Aaron had a
brother by the name of Moses (pg 16 of the Casey and Allied family
manuscript) I have seen some research that says that . Land was
granted on the Enoree R. 1775(100 acres) to Abner Casey. Three other
Caseys received
Royal land grants as well: Christopher(250 acres), John(200 acres), and
Moses(300 acres).I have not had time to write and ask for the source.
Both Christopher and John were sons of Abner, John born 1727 and
Christopher 1754, pg 13 Casey and Allied Families. No mention of a
Moses. However, since Aaron Casey was born in 1748 , pg 16 of the Casey
and Allied Family manuscript, Christopher, at least, could not be his
(Aaron's father). Does anyone else have trouble believing these
families that have children that are 30+ years apart. Example: Jesse
Casey and John Casey were born 1726 and 1727 respectively, pg 13 Casey
and Allied families. William Casey was born 1759. If birth year for
Harriet Green is correct or close, she would have been 60 when William
was born. A possibilty today, but unlikely. Highly unlikely for that
time period. Does anyone know anything about her? My maiden name is
Green and my Green ancesteral lines lead to Brunswick Co., Virginia.
Anyway, these are some of my thoughts about the questions you posed
Tim. Now it's your turn. What do you think?

I found this in Walter E. Casey manuscript Jesse Casey b. 1726 had
a
son named Aaron Casey.who had Anthony Casey b. 1770, Alexander Casey
b. 1782 m. (1) Mary Cooper (c) Joshua Casey, and Pleasant Casey.
Alexander married again to Nancy Ross m. 1813 does not state any
children, he married a third time to Eamy White 1817. Aaron Casey
had another child named Uriah Casey 1786 does not state marriage or
wife but he had a son named Anthony Casey born 1841.It also reads that
Moses Casey brother to Aaron Casey and Jesse Casey Jr. the manuscript
does not give any information on either Moses Casey or Jesse Casey
Jr. Aaron had a son named Jesse E. Casey b. 1768 and that Jesse E.
married and had Ambler Casey b.1785 m. Polly Ellison.Aaron 2nd son
named Jesse E. Casey Jr. 1790-1863 m. Martha "Patsy" Coe.Aaron Casey
had a 3rd son named Abner Casey b. 1766 married Elizabeth Bowen and
had Jesse Casey b. 1803, Turner Casey 1805, Marion Casey, Barry Casey,
Levi Casey, Anthony Casey, Mary "Polly" Casey, Elsberry Casey.All this
information was on page 17 and he states that the chart was supplied
by Cleve Kinnear , Claremore Oklahoma apparantly had written this page
28 Jun 1976.Now lets go into the Casey Family History compiled by
Alvin Harold Casey and Robert Brooks Casey compiled 15 July 1980.
They state that Aaron may not be the son of Jesse Casey and that
Christopher and Moses Casey as the best candidates for his father.Okay
I know that Christopher Casey who married Sarah Smith named his
children John Casey my line,Cassandra Casey, Aaron Casey, and Hardin
Casey. As we have found out that most of our clans handed down
family names this leads me to believe also that Aaron Casey may have
been Christopher Casey's brother and both were sons of the older
Christopher Casey who sold land to Moses Casey and Christopher Jr.
witnessed in SC. This would mean that Christopher Casey b. 1730's as
some researchers have printed would be the brother to Randolph and
Levi Casey in the Kings Mountain Men it states Randoph, Levi and
Benjamin as brothers but not Christopher Casey. Both Aaron and
Christopher were paid the same day for services in Roebucks Regiment
during Revolution. It also states however the Estate Papers of Aaron
Casey show that he had a brother named Moses Casey. It also states
there were many Moses Caseys in SC my hunch is that all of Christopher
Casey born 1730's children arent documented and this may be the clue
to the Two Christophers Casey's in SC. Census records show that Aaron
was born between 1755 and 1765 we also know that Christopher Casey Jr.
born 1754 could be his brother both in Revolutionary war same company
what do you think????????????????????
