PREFACE

This book focuses on the descendants of the author’s oldest proven Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker ancestors.  These lines are related to the author’s Casey line (see pedigree chart on the following page for these connections).  The authors of this book are experienced genealogists and have previously published four family histories.  Robert Casey and his father, Harold Casey, published “Casey Family History” in 1980 and then published “Shelton, Wininger and Pace Families” in 1988.  Robert Casey and his mother, Bernice (Brooks) Casey, published “Brooks Family History” in 1982 and “Olliff Family History” in 1992.  Robert Casey and his mother, Bernice (Brooks) Casey, are currently compiling “Bryan Family History.”  Robert and his wife, Diane (Thede) Casey, are also compiling “Thede, Aubil and Garver Families.”  The Casey family has compiled over 57,000 cousins so far in their research.

This is the first edition of this book and was compiled by Robert Casey and Robert’s father, Harold Casey.  Although Harold Casey died on January 8, 1991, this book will continue to use his name as one of the authors because of his significant contribution to this project.  It is highly recommended that anyone wishing to preserve their Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker family history, write and contribute any information in their possession.  We are specially interested in copies of older photographs, family history recorded in Family Bibles, existing family history sketches, genealogical correspondence that contains a significant quantity of information, letters and diaries written prior to 1900, older legal documents, census records as well as recent additions to your families.

Additional information is greatly appreciated and will be included in future editions and updates of this book.  Much information received by the authors on our family history has been copied and revised several times prior to its inclusion in our book.  The authors have learned from experience that copying and interpreting usually results is less accurate information.  Additionally, primary sources of valuable information as well as critical information are lost in this process.  If a large amount of information is derived from another person or existing written material, then please send the name and address of the source or Xerox the existing material.  The authors can not emphasize enough, the need and usefulness of original source material.  Much of the history of the Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker families is incomplete and some may be incorrect.  The authors wish to apologize to those cousins whose information on their line is briefly covered or contains errors.  There are many of our relatives who are interested in adding to our family history but do not know that this book has been published.  Additional names and addresses of other interested family historians are very difficult to find without your help.  Information has been obtained from many sources and references are listed with each family sketch to aid future research on the lines contained in this book.
