Robert - Hi
Thanks for responding. You are right, these Levis are different. I
know when and where Keziah married John Adams and they were still
married in 1887.
I hope that you "copied and pasted" all of this information.
Hopefully it will help somebody.
Thanks,
Don

I have documented many Casey families in central Tennessee from 1800
to 1850. I found a connection between Kesiah Casey and Levi Casey in
Roane County, TN. Not sure if this is your Levi Casey as there are
other Levi Caseys that could be confused. Here is a sketch on the
Levi Casey that resided in Roane County, TN from 1824 to 1838. More
at my web site
http://www.rcasey.net [1]. This does not match your
Kesiah Casey's marriage to John Adams - but this information could be
useful in sorting out two Keziah Caseys that appear to have a father
named Levi Casey.
LEVI CASEY (8.8) resided in Roane County, Tennessee. In 1824, Levi
Casey posted bond for the marriage of Henson Ellison to Jane Casey in
Roane County, Tennessee. The 1856 will of John Casey of Greene County,
Missouri implies that Jane Casey was Levis sister. In 1826, Levi Casey
is found in Captain Caseys list of men over 21 years of age. In 1827,
Levi Casey signed a petition in Roane County, Tennessee requesting
bail be set for Jesse Dotson on the charge of murder (case was later
dropped). In 1829, Levi Casey posted bond for the marriage of John
Casey to Polly Martin in Roane County, Tennessee. On February 4, 1830,
Levi Casey married Polly Haggard in Roane County, Tennessee. In 1830,
Levi Casey posted bond for the marriage of Pleasant Casey to Lucy Webb
in Roane County, Tennessee. In 1830, Levi Casey is listed in the
census of Roane County, Tennessee. On September 17, 1833, Levi Casey
purchased land from John Casey in the Hiwassee District of Roane
County, Tennessee. On October 26, 1835, Levi Casey of Roane County,
Tennessee sold fifty acres of land to James Snow of Morgan County,
Tennessee. This land was situated between the Emory River and White
Oak Creed in Morgan County, Tennessee. On July 27, 1836, Levi Casey
was serving as a Justice of Peace in Roane County, Tennessee where he
issued a warrant for arrest of John Jones for theft.
On October 5, 1837, Levi Casey was a Justice of the Peace for the
marriage of George Mitchell and Keziah Casey in Roane County,
Tennessee. In 1837, Levi Casey was listed in the Tax List of Eleventh
District in Roane County, Tennessee. Levi is listed as owning 200
acres of land valued at $200.00, 160 acres of school lands valued at
$80.00 and having one poll (white males age 21 to 50). On September
8, 1838, Levi Casey sold three tracts of land (338 1/2 acres) to
Elizabeth Woolsey in Roane County, Tennessee. Also on September 8,
1838, Levi Casey sold another 100 acres of land to John A. Barnard in
Roane County, Tennessee. In 1840, Levi Casey (born 1800 to 1810) was
listed in the census of Taney County, Missouri.
