Okay Casey cousins here is something to help me with.
1.Abner Casey son Benjamin Casey did he marry Julia Carson.
2. Was Benjamin in Fredrick Co VA ?
3. When and Where did Benjamin live and die. Was he born in Arundel Co MD (spelled
wrong?) If so does this mean Abner lived in Arundel Co MD wait this is Baltimore area
correct.
4. Did Benjamin have a son named John Casey who died in KY.
5. John Casey died in KY his son was Col. William Casey of KY fame.
6. Research in KY will of John Casey names William as his son.
7. There could be a generation missing and Benjamin could be the grandfather of Col.
William Casey has anyone an answer????
8. Who was John Casey who married into the Bilbro family he was the son of Abner Casey
was he not????
9. We know that Benjamin Casey who died 1779 was son of Peter Casey , so what happened to
Benjamin Casey son of Abner Casey.
I am trying to correct a misconception on this line with another family who has made me
have to ask you all.
