I have been researching Caskey's in Ohio for some time and have a Vesta M. Caskey in
my database. She was born August, 1892 in Ohio according to the 1900 census for Butler,
Colombiana Co., Ohio. She is listed as the daughter of John R. Caskey (b. 6/1849 in Ohio)
and Harriet M. (b. April 1850). She has a sister Hollis and two brothers, Raymond and
Fred. There is probably another brother, Charles, the firstborn.
John R. Caskey is the son of John Caskey Jr. born June 14, 1822 in Carroll Co., Ohio and
died August 8, 1901 in Greene Co., Missouri. His only wife is Martha Jane Lovett. Their
children include Elizabeth, m. John Downs, Mary Edna, m. Jacob Powell (my line), John
R.Caskey, Christiana m. George Carr, Martha J., Mitchell Caskey, Frank Lawman Caskey and
Adia Caskey.
I believe that John Caskey, Jr., is the son of John Caskey (b. abt 1786) and Elizabeth
Gamble (abt 1785-1834). They had 15 children.
John Caskey (Sr.) may be the son of Joseph Caskey who's will was found written 1795 in
Ohio Co., state of Virginia. You can contact me directly at Judiemm(a)aol.com.
