If the booklet you have was "Material Compiled Bicentennial Year 1976 by
Mildred Smith Eslinger", I have it. If not, I would definitely like to have
a copy of the one you have. We visited Mrs. Eslinger several years ago and
I bought a copy from her. (She lives (lived) in Nevada, Mo.) She was in
her 80's then and I don't know if she is still living or not.
I also have that Martha Casey m. John Bookout Sept. 23, 1852. They were
said to have had 8 children. I haven't found any other information on this
family. However, I do faintly remember my father-in-law, John Casey, the
son of Aaron and Martha Cawood Casey mentioning something about a John
Bookout many years ago. Wonder if they might have gone to OK too???? Will
ask some of my husbands sisters if they know anything of them. (My husband
was a late-in-life child and his sisters are in their mid-80's so could know
more about some of "Pops" family.) Sometimes when we get to visiting about
family they start recalling incidents that happened. I also have a tape of
my husbands dad telling about when they left MO in 1900 to settle in OK
which I have been transcribing. Will see what I find on it. Would like the
info you uncovered on this Martha Casey and William Son if you don't mind.
My mailing address is: Donna Casey; 105 Smithonia Road; Winterville,
Georgia 30683-1419. I have mailed a copy of the marriage record for Thomas
Casey and Sally Rice to you. You should be getting it soon.
Will send you a copy of Aaron Casey and Mary Jane Messick and family; and
also info on his second family--Aaron Casey and Martha Ella Cawood Casey and
family as soon as I can update the info I have. Need to put in some
corrections and more dates. This may take me a little while but bear with
me and I will get it to you.
Seems like there are a lot of interruptions when I get started on something
like this but I eventually get it done.
Donna

Subject: Re: [CASEY-L] Casey letter
I am currently trying to pull together the information I have gathered
over
the years on this Casey family.
I have a booklet called "Descendants of Thomas Casey" and if you don't have
it I can certainly photocopy it and send it to you. Send me you mailing
address.
From the booklet you will get the names of the children, dates and spouses
if the compiler knew them.
Just yesterday I sorted out a little problem with Martha Casey, daughter of
Thomas Casey and Nancy Smith. I found, in Cedar County, a marriage
between a Martha Casey and a William Son but the Casey book said she
married
John Bookout. I looked at FamilySearch and found a citation for a
marriage
between John Bookout and Martha Son then when I looked at Cass Co., MO
marriages, there was their marriage. She had been married twice. I don't
know what happened to the first marriage yet. He certainly could have
died.
All this took place before the Civil War.
Let me hear from you if you want a copy. And, I would like to have a copy
of the letter you mentioned.
