Neal, thanks for taking this on.
My line begins with James Caskey m. Elizabeth Pincham, both of Stewarton, Scotland.
Their son John Caskey b 1784 Brooke Co. Va., d 1875 OH; m. Elizabeth Gamble b 1785 d 1831
OH, dau of Josiah Gamble d 1820 VA and Elizabeth Unk
John and Elizabeth at some point moved to Carroll Co., Wayne twp OH. They had at least 2
children by the time they moved. They had a total of 13 children, including Sarah who
married Joseph Shaw 1834 Carroll Co. OH. Sarah and John had 6 children, including Julia
Ann b 1836 OH. Julia Ann Shaw (my great grandmother) m Roger Bircham Morledge b 1831 OH d
1874 Columbus, IN.
John Caskey's wife Elizabeth died 1831; he then married Susanna (last name may be
Ward), and continued to have children. I have names of the 13 and some spouses...One of
those 13, Israel, had 13 children of is own, but I don't have those names.
Did you know that there 17 Caskey folks married in Carroll Co OH in the 1800s? And 7
McCaskey folks. That's from one IGI list source on the LDS site, so there were
probably more.
What in the world was going on in Carroll Co that drew all these Caskeys. I can imagine
that my folks from Virginia took the Old National Road thru the Cumberland Pass and just
stopped, or maybe the Road hadn't gone any farther by then.
I've read that the Caskey folks in Scotland are all of the MacLeod clan, but I
can't "prove" my line...
You all have given me lots to work on.
Many thanks and good luck.
