Hi All,
I have a line of KERSEY/CASEY family in the Kentucky area. The name
appeared as KERSEY in earlier times and finally CASEY in Kentucky. The reason I am
interested in this Levi CASEY posting, is the following;
Levi Casey s/o Ambler Casey and Polly Ellison m. Sarah Laws
AMBLER was one of the surnames in this KERSEY/CASEY line. Here's what I
have and maybe someone can tell me if this line is connected.

BLACKWOOD (abt 1770 -- bef 1830, poss Kenton Co., KY) m 1788 Greene Co., TN.
Their children;
1. Henry had a daughter Lucinda who worked for John B. CASEY (Uncle) as
housekeeper for $100. per year after his wife's death (info from scanned copy of
John B. CASEY'S will)

They had a son Levi.
Please excuse any error as I have not verified all this data myself.
Does this CASEY line tie into the Levi CASEY f/o Keziah in any way?
Any info appreciated,
