Hi -
I would like to communicate with somebody who might know about Levi
Casey and Keziah - possibly his daughter. Per the US Census in 1860,
Keziah, or somebody for her, reported that Keziah was born in Mercer
Co, KY. Her daughter Clara Belle reported on her marriage certificate
that her mother (Keziah) was from Lincoln Co, KY.
Can somebody help indicate whether this information is correct?
Thanks,
Donald King
Lincoln Co. KY was formed in 1780 (a huge original county from which others
were formed). Mercer County was split off from Lincoln in 1785. Parts of
their borders touched, so it would seem easy enough to get them mixed up in
recollections, especially if the family lived close to the border of one or
another or if they lived in one originally then moved nearby. (I'm not
researching this family, just offering info about the geography in case it
may be helpful.) - Best regards, Joyce Harris
