AMBLER CASEY (1)

Ambler Casey (born 1790) is the oldest proven ancestor of the authors.  According to the 1964 manuscript by George and Abner Casey, Ambler Casey is the son of Jesse Casey.  Both a Jesse Casey and Ambler Casey lived in Roane County, Tennessee from 1810 to 1820.  According to the 1964 manuscript by George and Abner Casey, Ambler Casey had a brother, Jesse E. Casey (born 1796).  It is known that Jesse E. Casey was indeed born around 1796 and that both Jesse Casey and Ambler Casey married in Roane County, Tennessee.  Other than family traditions and these associations, there is no proof that Jesse Casey is the father of Ambler Casey and this connection is considered highly speculative.

The 1830 and 1840 censuses of McMinn County, Tennessee indicate that Ambler Casey was born between 1790 and 1800.  Because Ambler Casey married in 1809, Ambler Casey was probably born around 1790.  According to the “Marriage Records of Roane County, Tennessee, 1801 - 1855,” Ambler Casey married Polly Ellison in Roane County, Tennessee.  On September 30, 1809, John Dotson signed as Surety for their marriage bond.

Ambler Casey lived in Roane County, Tennessee from 1809 to 1821.  “The History of Roane County, Tennessee, 1801 - 1830" shows that Ambler Casey signed as the Surety on the marriage bond for Thomas Richardson and Elizabeth Ellison, dated August 1, 1811.  Elizabeth Ellison could be the sister of Polly (Ellison) Casey.  The “Tax Lists of Roane County, Tennessee, 1814 - 1821" lists Ambler Casey under Captain Rogers’ Company Tax List for the year 1814.  Ambler is listed owning 16 acres of taxable land situated on Cany Creek.  It also lists Ambler Casey under Captain Rogers’ Company Tax List for 1815, Captain Hembree’s Tax List for 1816, Captain Byrd’s Tax List for 1817, the Roane County Tax List for 1820 and Captain Oliver’s Tax List for 1821.  It further states that Ambler Casey was involved in a lawsuit against Gilbreath Barton between October 1, 1818 and October 1, 1819.

“Pioneers of Roane County, Tennessee, 1801 - 1830" shows Ambler Casey next to John Casey in a list of voters dated August 5, 1815.  It is also shows that Ambler Casey signed a petition to alter district lines, dated March 18, 1817 and shows Ambler and John Casey listed under Captain Oliver’s Company Tax List for 1821.  Roane County Court Minutes show that Ambler Casey was paid for a stray horse by its owner in 1817 and that Ambler sued Gilbreath Barton in 1818, but the case was dismissed and the defendant (Gilbreath Barton) paid court costs.

In 1819, part of the Indian Land south of the Tennessee River was incorporated into Roane and Rhea Counties.  Also, the counties of McMinn and Monroe were formed from this Indian Land.  Prior to 1819, no property could be sold or taxed in this Indian Land.  This area was known as the Hiwassee District.  This newly available land attracted several Casey families into this area including:  Abner Casey (1820 - 1834), John Casey (1820), Ambler Casey (1825 - 1840), Dempsey Casey (1830 - 1841), Moses Casey (1835 - 1842), John Casey (1837 - 1843) and Ellison Casey (1840 - 1843).

Ambler Casey lived in McMinn County, Tennessee from 1825 to 1840.  In 1825, Ambler Casey entered claims on two land grants in McMinn County, Tennessee.  These grants were issued in 1831, both grants were for 160 acres each.  The 1829 and 1830 tax lists show Ambler Casey owning 240 acres of taxable land.  In 1831, the tax list shows him having 320 acres of taxable land.  Ambler Casey is listed in the 1830 census of McMinn County, Tennessee as “Amner” Casey.  In 1833, Ambler Casey sold his land grant property as follows:  160 acres to Abner Casey for $1,500, 80 acres to Jesse Scott for $250 and 80 acres to Henry Carroll for $200.  In 1835, Ambler Casey purchased 160 acres in McMinn County, Tennessee for $250 and sold this land for the same price to John H. Crow in 1839.  In 1840, Ambler Casey sold another 160 acres in McMinn County to Henson Ellison for $900.  Henson could be a brother of Polly (Ellison) Casey.  Ambler Casey is also listed in the 1840 census of McMinn County, Tennessee.

The 1830 and 1840 censuses of McMinn County, Tennessee and other known facts about his children indicate that Ambler and Polly Casey were the parents of the following children:

  John Casey (2), b. 1811, Roane County, Tennessee
  Moses Casey (1.2), b. 1810, Roane County, Tennessee
  One Daughter, b. 1810 - 1815, Roane County, Tennessee
  Ellison Casey (1.3), b. 1816, Roane County, Tennessee
  One Daughter, b. 1820, Roane County, Tennessee
  Three Sons, b. 1825 - 1830, Tennessee
  One Daughter, b. 1825 - 1830, Tennessee
  Two Sons, b. 1835 - 1840, Tennessee

According to the 1830 and 1840 censuses of McMinn County, Tennessee, Ambler Casey’s wife, assumed to be Polly (Ellison) Casey, died in McMinn County, Tennessee between 1835 and 1840.  No documents have been found after 1840 that mention Ambler Casey.  Ambler Casey probably died around 1840 in McMinn County, Tennessee, but the date and place of his death are not currently well proven.  Ambler’s sons quickly show up as delinquent tax payers in McMinn around 1840:  Ellison Casey in 1840 and Moses Casey in 1842.  Showing up on these delinquent tax lists generally indicated that the person moved from the area (true in this case as Ellison and Moses at they are known to have later lived in Arkansas).

Unfortunately, probate records, Family Bible records or even family tradition documentation have not been located that verify the children of Ambler Casey.  This author feels that three sons (Moses, John and Ellison) have been identified but these connections are not well proven.  The name Ellison Casey provides a strong connection to Ambler Casey because this was the maiden name of Ambler’s wife, Polly Ellison.  There is also evidence linking Ellison Casey to John Casey.  Both were known to have resided in McMinn County, Tennessee and later in Madison County, Arkansas, both moving to Arkansas around the same period of time.  The manuscript by George and Abner Casey also states that Ellison Casey was the son of Ambler Casey.  Both John and Moses Casey are believed to be Ambler’s sons because they were listed very near Ambler in the 1830 census.  Both John and Moses were married and listed as between fifteen and twenty years of age.  In 1840, Ambler, John and Moses Casey are found again in McMinn County, Tennessee (not listed very close together this time).  Several Casey researchers also think that Henson Casey might be the son of Ambler Casey and there is much documentation to suggest such a relationship.  For additional information on the descendants of Henson Casey, see the sketch of Henson Casey (8.5).  Other researchers also believe that Susan Casey (who married Edmond Dotson) is a daughter of Ambler Casey and there is much documentation to imply such a relationship for her as well.  For additional information on the descendants of Susan (Casey) Dotson, see the sketch of Susan Casey (8.8).

MOSES CASEY (1.2) is probably the son of Ambler Casey and Polly (Ellison) Casey.  The 1830 census record indicates that Moses Casey was born between 1810 and 1815 in Roane County, Tennessee.  Because Moses Casey married in 1829, it is believed that Moses Casey was born around 1810.  Since Moses’ father, Ambler was married in Roane County, Tennessee and is known to have resided there until 1821, Moses Casey was born in Roane County, Tennessee.  The 1830 census lists Ambler Casey with a much younger Moses Casey and John Casey (both age fifteen to twenty years of age) living in nearby households, which are probably two of Ambler Casey’s sons.  It is also known that Ambler Casey married Polly Ellison in Roane County, Tennessee.  Many years later, we find James Ellison (probably Polly Ellison’s brother) signing the marriage bond of Moses Casey and Elizabeth Coe, taking on the financial responsibility for their marriage.  The 1830 census of McMinn County, Tennessee also shows a Robert Ellison (probably Polly Ellison’s brother) living in the adjacent household to Moses Casey.  The 1830 census shows yet another much older Robert Ellison (possibly Polly Ellison’s father) living in McMinn County, Tennessee.  The young age of Moses and John Casey in the 1830 census coupled with the fact that they were nearby neighbors, strongly suggest a strong relationship.  These census records combined with the Ellison connections represent the primary proof linking Moses Casey to Ambler Casey.  In the 1840 census, Ambler, Moses and John Casey are still neighbors and Moses Casey sold land to Ambler Casey in 1835, only six months after it was granted Moses Casey.

On May 27, 1829, Moses Casey married Elizabeth Coe in McMinn County, Tennessee.  James Ellison signed for the security on this marriage bond on May 19, 1829 and William Dotson signed as the Justice of the Peace.  James Ellison is probably related to Ambler Casey’s wife, Polly (Ellison) Casey.  According to Carl Robert Coe (who has researched this line for years, according to Mary E. Casey), Elizabeth Coe is the daughter of Stephen Coe and Betsy (Hart) Coe.  According to the 1850 census, Elizabeth was born in 1812 in Tennessee.  From 1830 to 1840, Moses Casey and his wife lived in McMinn County, Tennessee.  On May 8, 1835, Moses Casey was issued a land grant (number 2846) for 160 acres.  On November 20, 1835, Moses Casey sold 160 acres of land (probably the land grant) in McMinn County, Tennessee to Ambler Casey for $250.00.  Moses Casey appears on the delinquent poll tax list of 1842 of McMinn County, Tennessee, indicating that he either left the county (most likely) or died.

Determining the children of Moses and Elizabeth Casey represents another case where researching the possible daughters and sons of Moses and Elizabeth Casey with the combination of family tradition really paid off.  Family tradition states that Susan Casey married John K. Young.  Further research of John K. Young established that Susan Casey was the daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Casey.  In 1911, the State of Arkansas conducted a census of Confederate veterans.  This special census has much more information than normal federal census records and includes names of the parents, names of the grandparents, names of the parents of the spouses, places of residences of these persons and much more information.  This 1911 Confederate census states that John K. Young (born 1837 in Alabama) married Susan Casey on September 21, 1856 at Walnut, Arkansas.  It further states that Susan Casey was the daughter of Moses Casey and Elizabeth Casey who lived at Walnut, Arkansas.  This document clearly establishes that Susan Casey is the daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Casey and that Moses and Elizabeth Casey, as well as Susan (Casey) Young, lived in Walnut, Newton County, Arkansas.  This census record shows that Moses and Elizabeth Casey were the parents of at least one daughter:

  Susan Casey (who married John K. Young in 1856, Newton County, Arkansas)

In 1993, Mary E. Casey located a primary source of family tradition compiled by Flora (Coleman) Turner.  These notes show the following siblings (where the parent’s names are not known):

  Allen Casey, b. Tenessee, mar. Chaney Woodard, d. July 14, 1905
  Uriah Casey. b. Tennesse, mar. 2nd to Rachell Woodard
  Ambrose Casey, b. Tennessee
  Susan Casey, married Crocket Young
  Liza Casey, married Harvey Ham (believed to be incorrect)

In 1993, Jill Farris obtained Casey and Woodward family information from Verna (Casey) Pearson.  According to Verna (Casey) Pearson, family tradition indicates that the following persons to be siblings (where the parent’s names are not known):

  Uriah (Ryar) Casey
  Amilar (Ambler) Casey
  Alan Y. Casey
  Susie Casey
  Lizzie Casey
  Betsy Casey

The 1860 census of Newton County, Arkansas supports these relationships.  Listed in three consecutive households were three children of Elizabeth Casey (born 1812, Tennessee): Uriah Casey (born 1829, Tennessee), Susan (Casey) Young (born 1837, Tennessee) and Allen Casey (born 1835, Tennessee).  There are other ties indicated in this census as well.  The next household is Jesse C. Casey (born 1835, Tennessee) who is a known son of Jesse E. Casey and Martha (Coe) Casey.  This census, as well as many other census records, indicate close ties between the descendants of Jesse E. Casey and Ambler Casey.  This also suggests a relationship between Martha Coe who married Jesse E. Casey and Elizabeth Coe who married Moses Casey.  The next household has ties as well where Rachel Woodward is listed with her father, Elisha Woodward.  Rachel would later marry Uriah Casey after his first wife, Jane, died.  Therefore, the 1860 census support that relationship of siblings:

  Uriah Casey, b. 1829, Tennessee
  Susan (Casey) Young, b. 1837, Tennessee
  Allen Casey, b. 1835, Tennessee

The 1870 census of Newton County, Arkansas supports these relationships.  Listed in two consecutive households were two children of Elizabeth Casey: Ambler Casey (born 1844, Arkansas) and Allen Casey (born 1834, Kentucky).  Therefore, the 1870 census support that relationship of siblings:

  Allen Casey, b. 1834, Kentucky
  Ambler Casey, b. 1844, Arkansas

It is known that Elizabeth Casey (born 1812) later married Robert M. Warren and that after his death, she lived with her son, Ambler Casey.  The 1880 census of Newton County, Arkansas is primary documentation that establishes that Elizabeth Casey who later married Robert M. Warren was the mother of Ambler Casey who married Nancy Smith.  Therefore, the 1880 census implies that Elizabeth Casey (born 1812 in Tennnessee) was the mother of:

  Ambler Casey, b. 1841, Arkansas

The 1850 Census of Newton County, Arkansas has what appears to be the widow of Casey family member, Elizabeth Casey (b. 1812, Tennessee), living with what appears to be four of her children:

  West Lake Casey (believed to be Wesley Allen Casey), b. 1834, Tennessee
  Susanah Casey (she married John K. Young), b. 1836, Tennsessee
  Elizabeth Casey, b. 1841, Tennessee
  Abel Casey (believed to be Ambler Casey), b. 1843, Tennessee

Even the 1964 manuscript by George and Abner Casey suggests sibling relationships.  It lists an Anthony Casey that married in Tennessee and lived in Tennessee until the fall of 1839 or the early part of 1840, became ill and died in the early part of 1841.  The family moved to Limestone, in Newton County, Arkansas a few months after Anthony’s death.  This manuscript states that Anthony Casey was the father of at least two sons:

  Allen Casey, b. 1838, Tennessee
  Uriah Casey

This author is convinced that Moses and Elizabeth Casey were the parents of Allen and Uriah Casey, but this manuscript does suggest a connection between Allen Casey and Uriah Casey.  This connection of Anthony Casey being the father of Allen and Uriah Casey is still believed to accurate by many Casey researchers.  This author has found no evidence of any Anthony Casey living McMinn County, Tennessee where Moses Casey and his brother, John Casey, were known to have resided.

All the above documentation supports connections between siblings and ties to their parents, Moses and Elizabeth Casey.  This author is now confident that Moses and Elizabeth Casey were the parents of five children:

  Allen Casey (1.2.1), b. May 10, 1834, McMinn County, Tennessee
  Susan Casey (1.2.2), b. 1837, McMinn County, Tennessee
  Uriah Casey (1.2.3), b. July, 1840, McMinn County, Tennessee
  Ambler Casey (1.2.4), b. December 20, 1842, McMinn County, Tennessee
  Lizzie “Liza” Casey

This author wishes to thank Mary E. Casey for her dedication and assistance in establishing the connection to Moses Casey and his children.  Without her tenacity in solving this genealogical puzzle, this author would have struggled for many more years in sorting out this Casey family.  Both this author and Mary E. Casey know that errors may still exist in this new and different presentation of this family but there is little doubt that Moses Casey married Elizabeth Coe and that the most of the children listed above are indeed children of Moses and Elizabeth Casey.  The 1840 census of McMinn County, Tennessee list Moses Casey and his family.  This census listing reasonably matches with the above family and tends to substantiate these relationships.  The 1840 census of McMinn County, Tennessee includes the following:

  Moses Casey (head of household), b. 1810 - 1820
  Wife (Elizabeth), b. 1810 - 1820
  Male (Unknown), b. 1825 - 1830 (no children in 1830 census)
  Daughter (Lizzie), b. 1825 - 1830 (no children in 1830 census)
  Son (Uriah), b. 1835 - 1840
  Son (Allen), b. 1835 - 1840
  Daughter (Susan), b. 1835 - 1840

The oldest male (other than Moses Casey) and the oldest female listed in the 1840 census were born between 1825 and 1830.  It is known that Moses Casey married Elizabeth Coe in May of 1829 in McMinn County, Tennessee and that the 1830 census indicates that Moses and Elizabeth had no children.  Therefore, this is probably a case where the age was listed incorrectly or that this was not a son but a brother or cousin of either Moses or Elizabeth living with them.  Since Moses Casey’s father, Ambler Casey, was listed in the 1840 census, it  less likely that this male was a brother of Moses Casey.  Ambler Casey (born 1842), was born after the 1840 census.  This census entry of a male (born 1825 to 1830), living with Moses and Elizabeth Casey in 1840 may remain a mystery for future researchers to unravel.  Another puzzle that may never be solved is why family tradition, listing of Verna (Casey) Pearson, lists Lizzie Casey and Betsey Casey, both are nicknames for Elizabeth.  Another possibility is that these two nicknames may have been used to distinguish daughter from her mother.  Another possiblity would be that one of these two daughters was born after the 1840 census was taken.  It is doubtful (but not impossible) that Moses and Elizabeth Casey had two daughters that had nicknames for Elizabeth.  However, this author has encountered several families that have named one daughter Liza and another daughter Elizabeth (Georgia families).  This author has decided to speculate that only one daughter of Moses Casey was named Elizabeth.

Since Moses Casey appears on the delinquent poll tax list on 1842 suggests that Moses Casey either died prior to this tax enumeration (possible since last known child was born in 1842) or that Moses moved to Arkansas prior to this tax enumeration.  The 1911 Confederate census record of Arkansas implies that Moses Casey was living in Walnut, Newton County, Arkansas in 1856.  This record states Susan Casey married in 1856 in Walnut, Arkansas and that Susan “was the daughter of Moses Casey and his wife Elizabeth who lived at Walnut, Arkansas.”  In 1870, there is a Moses Casey (born 1805, Tennessee) listed in the Johnson County, Arkansas census records.  He is living in the same household as Abner Tipton Casey and Henrietta (Netherton) Casey.  It is not certain if this Moses Casey is the son of Ambler Casey.  If this were the same Moses Casey, Moses Casey and Elizabeth Casey would have been separated or divorced as Elizabeth Casey remarried by 1860.  Elizabeth (Coe) Casey married a second time to Robert M. Warren (born 1797 in North Carolina).  Robert M. Warren (mother not certain) had one son:  Robert Willis Warren (born 1851 in Arkansas).  From 1860 to 1870, Robert and Elizabeth Warren were living in Newton County, Arkansas.  In 1880, Elizabeth (Coe) Casey/Warren was living with her son, Ambler Casey, in Newton County, Arkansas.

ALLEN CASEY (1.2.1) is the son of Moses Casey and Elizabeth (Coe) Casey.  Allen was born on May 10, 1834 in McMinn County, Tennessee.  Allen Casey married Channie Woodward.  Channie was born in April of 1835 in Missouri.  According to Jill Farris, Channie is the daughter of Elisha Woodward and Mary (Hill) Woodward, both direct ancestors of the authors.  For additional information on the descendants of Elisha and Mary Woodward, see the sketch of Elisha Woodward (21).  Allen and Channie Casey were the parents of seven children:
