My g grandfather, Alex, lived in Illinois for a short
period. Had a son Robert and a daughter Sarah by Mary
Mitchel. Returned to NC by 1861 and married Vicey Casey
with whom he had 2 sons, Lewis and Cicero; and one
daughter, Mary. Alex and all of the above family are
found in the 1870 Wayne County, NC census. I would like
to learn if anyone knows anything about these Caseys and
especially why he was in Illnois briefly. I did find
Alex Casey in 1860 St.Clair County, Ill listing birth
state as NC, wife, Mary; children Sarah (being the right
age)and a baby being the right age but name not Robert;
two children Marg (15) and Isaac (12). Everything seems
to fit except Marg and Isaac. Even Mitchel being the
next name on census. I have searched many sites but
cannot find the Marg (I am assuming could be Margaret)or
Isaac Casey that fits the link. Any leads would most
appreciative.
