The 1825 William I am interested in .
Dempsey Casey's father's Bible records that were past down and who knows how
many errors with the copying of it, but it states the second son of Dempsey
and Elizabeth Casey was b. in Mar. of 1794 named William. Another son was
named William in 1806...I assumed the first one was dead. No proof of that
so I look into all William's born around that time.
I found a William in Montgomery Co. TN in the 1820 census and noted .
Then in 1821-1727 deeds were showing McMinn Dempsey Casey's oldest brother
Thos. Crafts Casey buying a patent of Capt. Wm . Goodman's ( his daughter's
share Elizabeth Creekmore).
Then one of my cousins came up with another deed in 1827 for another 100
acres a Thomas C. Casey bought in Montgomery Co.....I haven't found anything
on the above William since the 1820 census listing and cannot find where
Thomas C. Casey migrated there or what he did with the land. Did the above
1820 Montgomery Co. TN William migrate to McMinn during the same time span
Dempsey Casey did or is this another William Casey. Dempsey was there by the
birth of his first da. with Dicy Martin b. in 1827 or 1828.
Daniel Padrick the brother in law of McMinn Dempsey Casey was living in
Davidson Co. TN between 1830-33. Before he migrated into Shelby Co . IN. he
purchased some land in Illinois. Kept it for only a few months . Edward
Casey in 1834 bought land in the same area. and one Nicholas Casey in 1845
has land in the 30N area the Daniel had his.
Loose ends on the Caseys but adding them here while I have the file out. May
help someone else.

Alicia,
Thanks for the info on your line.
I had seen the info about Dempsey having the first store or business in
McMinn Co. Also found where a William Casey signed a Petition desiring
mill
to be built for the accommodation of community - 15 Sept 1825.
I know Dempsey had left Tennessee by 1850 but the name Dempsey Casey
appears
in the Inventory of the Estate of N. C. Frazier August 1850 in Rhea
Co.,
TN
- Account on Dempsey Casey 2.50. Another Dempsey?
Do you know anything about an A. S. Casey who was in McMinn Co. in 1855.
I
have a note that in the Will (May 1855) of Henry M. Sloop?????
(Can't read
that last name Geeze what was I drinking when I wrote that - could be any
name that starts with an "S") he names a son James who had a daughter
Eliza
who married A. S. Casey and she had died (obviously before 1855)
leaving
L.
C. Casey her only child. On the 1860 McMinn Co census I found an A.
Cazey
age
21 from NC and in the household Elizabeth 50, Melmoth 17, Jane E. 23
and
Lucinda 12. Also another household with John A. Cazy 21 from Tenn with
Mary
J. 21 and Clarissa M. 1. Only thing I could find that comes close to
a
Casey.
Again thanks for the info on Dempsey.
OK folks I now have 4 layers of Casey material (one on top of the other)
scattered over 3 rooms - SC on the bottom then Virginia, Tennessee and
Missouri. I'm digging back down to SC where I started and I should have
stayed! :-)
