My gg-grandfather, Wiley Jenkins Casey b. 1802 in Georgia, married Matilda White b. 1814. They lived, and are buried, in
Cherokee Co., Alabama. I BELIEVE WILEY TO HAVE A PACE MOTHER, ELIZABETH, via Barnabas Pace b. 1747, then his daughter Elizabeth's marriage to John Casey. This, through strong circumstantial evidence (including repetition of family names Paris, Pace, etc.,
through my Wiley Casey line). However, I'd like to be more certain. Can anyone help figure?
It's my understanding through the Pace history compiled by Freda Reid Turner, that this Barnabas, the youngest son of Richard
Pace IV, was married twice. His first marriage, to Agnes Aycock, produced a daughter named Elizabeth Pace, who married a
John Casey. Both John and Elizabeth are said to be buried in the "Casey Family Cemetery" in Banks Co., Ga.
By the way, it's also suggested that John Casey was the brother of Mary Casey, who was Barnabas' second wife. There was a
daughter, Martha/Patsy Pace, who married Nathaniel Hunt White. Nathaniel's younger half-sister, Matilda White, married my
gg-grandfather, Wiley Jenkins Casey. They all lived in Cherokee County, Alabama, eventually. Nathaniel and Martha (Pace)
White had a son, Barnabas Pace White.
There is also a Barnabas Pace Casey who obtained a land patent in Cherokee Co. on the exact day in 1845 as my Wiley
Casey and Paris Pace Casey. Barnabas later moved to Lamar Co., Texas and is on the 1880 census there as an older man.
His son's name, Drury, is a Pace name.
My belief is that Barnabas, Wiley and Paris were brothers, or somehow very closely related.
What I'd like to determine is their parentage--were they all from John and Elizabeth (Pace) Casey? So much seems to fit. Does
anyone know the children of John and Elizabeth, or anything else about John, especially? Any suggestions or further
information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joyce Harris
