CASEY, WEBB, CARSON, FITZGERALD

Looking for information on Ellsberry (Ellbury, etc) CASEY, b. 1837, Bradley Cty, TN. First known public record is 1860 census of Titus Cty, TX. Trying to determine Ellsberry’s relationship to Pleasant CASEY, b. 1810, Roane Cty, TN, marr. Lucy WEBB 1830 in Roane, Cty, TN. Pleasant was in Bradley Cty at least from 1837 (tax records) through 1860 (census records), but some of their married daughters (CARSON’s and FITZGERALD’s) were already in Titus Cty, TX, by 1860. Pleasant and Lucy were finally in Titus Cty, TX with the rest of their family in the 1870 census. Lucy WEBB CASEY had two brothers, John and Allen, but I don’t know her father’s name. CASEY’s, WEBB’s, CARSON’s and FITZGERALD’s all seemed to make collateral moves from TN to TX, but some relatives must have been left behind. Can someone who married into the CASEY line shed any li! ght on the Ellsberry/Pleasant relationship? Art Brown, abrown [at] brainerd [dot] net.
