Son John Thomas born Oct 17, 1871. Have no idea what happened to this

At some point in time this family moved to Eastland County, Texas. John
Thomas Casady married Stella Irene Morris on December 24, 1903 at Jewell,
in Eastland County, Texas.
Their first son, John Leonard Casady born April 19, 1905 in Eastland

1906 and lived around Merkle, Texas. John Thomas Casady is my grandfather
and I would love to find his father and his father's family. Any help
sincerely appreciated.
