My Caseys, I think, came out of SC. My g-grandfather was John Thomas Casey,
who lived on Sand Mountain, AL. His background is very hard to trace.

Subject: [CASEY] New Analysis of Casey DNA Submissions
I just updated my web site for the Casey DNA project. We now have 30
submissions and already finding out new information about all our lines
with only 30 submissions. Here are some highlights:
http://www.rcasey.net/casdna.htm
1) Proved that Ambler Casey and Jesse E. Casey lines are a distinct
branch (exact match at 67 markers with unique marker).
2) Proved that Ambler Casey and Jesse E. Casey lines are an genetic
offshoot of the Abner Casey (mar. Elizabeth Bowen) line.
3) Found out that a Hanvey submission is an 37 marker match with Abner
Casey (mar. Elizabeth Bowen) and probably is adoption of a Casey child.
4) To date, all submissions with SC and TN roots are probably related
within one to four generations with one exception, Elisha Casey (SC).
5) DNA results do not support that the Henson Casey is the son of
Ambler Casey as traditional research has implied.
6) Determined that one DNA marker separates the SC / TN cluster into
two distinct branches with about 50 % in each branch - 460=12 and 460=13
7) It appears that the Moses Casey (SC) and John Casey (SC) have the
least mutated DNA markers. All other lines are branches off these two
lines.
8) It appears that the John Casey (MO) line, the James H. Casey (SC)
line and the 460=13 major branch are all branches off the Moses and John
Casey lines.
9) The Henson Casey line has both 460=12 and 460=13. Current
information makes it very difficult to place this line. We can not
separate genealogical significant mutations from recent mutations (not
significant) until a third submission reveals which marker is significant.
10) A second cluster has formed that includes primarily Casey with
recent ties to Ireland. Not all Casey lines with recent Irish ties are
part of this cluster. Over time, we will be able to determine
relationships of lines found in this cluster.
11) We have discovered that there are at least five different clusters
of Casey lines where there can not be any connections after 1600.
12) We have determined that the SC / TN cluster and the Irish cluster
could share a common ancestor with the name of Casey, however, this
would be before 1600. This connection between clusters is very
important to both clusters as the common DNA marker must lie somewhere
between these two clusters (this influences the choice of the progenitor
of each cluster).
