Hi Carole
Glad to hear from you this didnt get you interested did it !!!
1. Yes this is the same William Casey that is in Fredrick Co VA and married
Jane Montgomery.
2. No we are not talking about two differnt Col. this is the only one and
the one you referred to in question #2. The Montgomeries you have read about
are Jane Montgomeries families you would have to be more specific but Col.
William Casey and the Montgomeries, Logans, Blackburns all came to Ky.
3. No this John Casey I have told you about is Col William Casey's father
and James Col. William Caseys brother.
The John Casey married Margaret Blackburn is Col William Caseys father and
Mother his will states his two sons William and James also in Va I believe
the Blackburns will of her father states her. I have alot more info on this
that I found in a periodical. I have looked at my research and theirs alot
of people and my cousin said that Col. William Caseys father was Benjamin
Casey and Julia Carson I disagree for the will of John Casey in Ky shows
proof . John Casey had two daughters one named Nancy and the other Agnes.
Agnes Casey married Robert Fletcher in Lincoln Co Ky on 29 March 1788. James
Casey married a widow of Charles Lynch in Nelson Co Ky 15 Sep 1792 she being
the daughter of James Rogers and Martha Blackburn. they had one child Martha
Casey who married James Downing. There is more to the Rogers lines of Ky to
Caseys and Blackburns I am not going to get into that now one step at a
time.

Hi Tim,
I need to clear up some of the information from your last message, you
stated that in 1800 census of Lincoln Co KY there was a John Casey who
had 2 sons: 1. Col William Casey, 2 James Casey and that the James Casey
maybe where the William name came into my Casey family. My question is
this:
1. Is this Col William Casey, son of John Casey, the same one that is
from Frederick Co., VA and the William Casey who married Jane Montgomery
?
2. Are we discussing two different Colonel William Casey's? I have a
biography from "History of Kentucy" by Lewis Collins published in 1847
reprinted in 1968 p 231 about a Colonel William Casey, who came from
Frederick Co VA 1779-80 and for whom Casey County KY was named. In
another article it named some of the families that settled/came from VA
with him. One of these families were the Montgomeries. Hence, one could
believe that the Montgomeries were relatives of Jane Montgomery.
3. Is the John Casey of Lincoln Co KY a brother of the Col William
Casey who married Jane Montgomery and John named his son after this
brother and both William's achieved the rank of Colonel?
As you see, I need to do a lot more work on this!
The way I read your message + what I have would lead to this as only a
possibility from James Casey to William Hamilton. Note the 3 Blackburn
women married into the family and one son has Blackburn as a middle name
. It is also possible that James Casey(son of John Casey) married a
Hamilton - hence the middle name of his son. Again, just suppositions,
but something to start with...
1.John Casey m (Margaret Blackburn?)
2.(Col) William Casey (m Jane Mongtomery?)
2. James Casey m unk (a James Casey on 1820 census Harrison Co KY
census)
3.William Hamilton Casey b 1796 Harrison Co., KY d 1868 m Nancy
