Hi;
I also have a John Henry Casey "brick wall" on my genealogical pathway.
"My" John Henry Casey came from Russell Co., VA (b. ____, __, 1848 Russell
Co, VA; d ???? probably in Kanawha Co., WV). Last record, so far, Kanawha
County Marriage Book 1, Page 64"the Marriage Records of John H. Casa and
Rebecca Cobb-Board.
Father listed as William Casa and Mary _____________.
Married 1 January 1869 (He was 21 years and 1 month [which should indicate a
birth month of December (? unsure) and a birthdate of the 1st (?unsure).
Rebecca was 38 (b. 22 April 1830; d. 20 March 1902)and a widow (actually 3
times, maiden name Cobb. 1st marr. Board, 2nd marr. Bird, 3rd marr. Casey.
{Some recent information (no proof yet) that there was a Brown as #1 Might
possibly be in Pittsburgh area since Rebecca was born in Armstrong Co., PA,
according to our data.
Rebecca Cobb ties in to Dr William Cobb through her father, Joseph Cobb.
My next investiagtion will center on Russell Co, VA census 1830, 1840, 1850.
We may have a connection and it may all be smoke and mirrors, but replying to
you gave me a "push:" in a direction that I had not previously planned to go
toward.
John P. Casey
