For those that research Randolph Casey the following info may help. I live
in Union Co IL and live 15 miles from Johnson Co IL library and courthouse
at some time I will give more updates on him to the website.
I found the following passage in the Johnson Co IL History book.
There is a small village named Buncombe IL in Johnson Co IL well Levi Casey
son of Randolph Casey son of Abner of Co Tyrone Ireland as our families say
it said the following that BUNCOMBE IL was suggested by Levi Casey an early
settler from Buncombe NC reminded him of his homeplace. there are more
versions how the town was named but there were Caseys in NC and this may
help but I thougth most of our Casey line went to SC apparrently not all
followed Randolph or this statement is in error. Maybe NC needs to be looked
at more closely an some family ties may be found .
