Hello all! I am looking for relatives to Abner Casey (1702-1786). Father could have been John Nicholas Casey and motherSarah Brooks; brother Randolph (born in Baltimore, MD US 1715). I do not have too much more on the family except for those born in US with ties to Abner.
Would love to hear from anyone with information on this family and relatives still there.
Thank you!
Mary
I think you may struggle with this enquiry. You don’t say what denomination the family was. Looking at the 1901 census for Tyrone there were 136 people named Casey in the county (nearly all RC). Having said that very few Catholics emigrated from Ireland in the 1700s. Most emigrants at that era were Presbyterian or Church of Ireland. But whatever the denomination, no church in Tyrone has any records for the early 1700s. Indeed there are very few records of any sort. Few Irish families would know their ancestry back to the 1700s and so DNA testing might be the only way to connect with other Casey families from that area.
