I think that this William Casey could be the William Casey that I keep
running across in Old Rowan County NC. I also ran across William and Samuel
in the Surry County Courthouse. I am looking for John Casey in Iredell and
Surry (now Yadkin) NC.
I don't have my notes with me on the Caseys in the area of Rowan Co NC. If
I remember correctly I found marriage bonds for both a William and Samuel in
Rowan Co but I don't recall who they married. I believe the marriage date
was around the time that you are looking at. The John Casey I am looking for
is in this same time frame.
I have John Casey b. circa 1784 in NC m. Jane Walker b. circa 1786 in SC.
living in Iredell Co. Rowan and Surry Counties are the neighboring counties.
They named their oldest son William W.Casey. Family tales have that the
Casey Family came from Montgomery Co MD. I have not really been able to get
past John Casey and Jane Walker.
With Jane Walker being born in SC I keep wondering if my John Casey family
might be connected to that of Abner Casey. William W. Casey born circa 1812
NC m. Elizabeth unknown. They had a son they named Absolom but called him
Abner. At some point Absolom (Abner) his mother and two sisters moved to
Tennessee. They lived in McNinn Co TN and it was suppose to be after the
death of his father William. However, there are records of a William Casey
in McMinn Co TN.
I hope that this might some day connect with someone somewhere. I hope that
I have not confused anyone or lead anyone after a false lead.
Happy Digging
