Hello List,
With all this Casey activity I thought I might jump in. With my Casey family.
King's Mountain is not to far from where my Casey's where at. I have Casey's
in the Iredell, Yadkin, Surry, Stokes and Wilkes County area of North
Carolina.
I am looking for the parents and some of the sibblings of John Casey Jr.
(could be John Melmuth Casey). He was born circa 1784 in Iredell or Surry
now Yadkin Co NC in 1784 (based on 1850 census) he was a blacksmith and iron
worker as well as a farmer. He married circa 1810 (based on the birth of his
first child) to Jane Walker born circa 1786 (based on 1850 census) in SC.
This Casey family was suppose to have came from Prince George Co MD. Family
records have his father as John Casey Sr. and Philorlea (Rhlorlea) Edgeworth
both born circa 1760's. They married 12 Aug 1778 in either Prince George Co
or Montgomery Co MD.
