Hi Kathy,
My Caseys are from Massachusetts but settled first in New Hampshire and
Connecticut after immigrating in late 1700's to pre-1805. Their home in Mass.
was in Newton while at least one son, Albert went to Harvard. I wish there
were more New England Caseys on here since I can find no evidence that my
line is even remotely linked (on American soil) to the Southern Caseys. I'll
keep and eye out for your people and Good luck!

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have connections to some Casey's from Salem, Massachusetts, -
we think they originally came from Killarney Kerry Ireland - atleast we know
Thomas Casey married Ellen (Ryan) in Ireland and she was from Killarney.
The year about 1810'-1820 birth, One of the sons we know about is Michael
T. Casey they came in about 1849-1860 and he married Johanna Heffernan.
I also have a copy of the coat of arms - my brother has the original, was
handed down to him by my father and from his father. It has red chevron - I
think that is what they call it , and three birds heads, also a hand with
wheat. common maybe I do not know enough about the coat of arms to say.
This family seems to be hiding on me, I can not find one relative that will
claim us. We do not know much about this family because my Grandfather
George William Casey Sr. left my father when his was only 6 months old so we
never grew up knowing anyone on that side of his family and my father is
getting up in years and would like to make contact with some of his family.
So if anyone can help us it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in
advance for anything you can do.
Thanks,
Kathy
