Message Board Post:
I just now read your query about Susan Ellen Casey and her parents, Dempsey and Dicy
(Martin) Casey. My cousin and I have been working on this family line for several years.
We are trying to figure out who Dicy Martin's parents are. You have the correct info
but I think Ellen Casey who was born in Kentucky is another Ellen.
If you have any information on the parents of Dicy Martin or any clues I would love to
hear of it. My family line says she was born in NC an other info from a Indiana Census
says she was born in TN. We have thought she may be of Indian blood, but have no proof.
We have looked everywhere and found a Black Dicy living in Davidson Co TN. The brother of
Dempsey Casey was Thomas Crafts Casey who lived in Davidson Co, TN and we have a copy of
his legal book with family listed. Dempsey Casey is the son of Dempsey Casey Sr. and the
following are the children of Dempsey Casey Sr.
1. Sally Crafts Casey born Jan. 17, 1792
2. William Casey Mar. 9, 1794
3. Graham Casey Feb. 23, 1797
4. Thomas Crafts Casey July 29, 1790 oldest child
5. Dempsey Casey
6. Margaret Casey Twins Dec. 5, 1798
7. Marie Casey June 1800
8. Polly Casey April 6, 1803
9. Martin Ross Casey Nov. 9, 1804
10. William Dosey Casey Aug. 3, 1806
11. Frederick Sawyer Casey
12. Lovey Sawyer Casey - Twins Aug. 18, 1809
Most of the children were raised in the area bordering Moyock NC and Norfolk Va.
