Does anyone know what this means? He was probably in his mid to late sixties in 1830 because he was over 45 in 1810 (shown in the fragment of the Grainger Co., TN census that survives.)

A release of dower, signed as Elizabeth <strong>Lewis<\/strong> (implying a second marriage?), specified that she was the wife of James <strong>Casey<\/strong>, deceased. Their children who were listed in the 1839 release of dower were William (who I believe settled in McMinn Co. at an early date); James, John, Samuel Henry, Sterling (called Star), Elizabeth who married George <strong>Watson<\/strong>, Nancy who married Benjamin <strong>McKenzie<\/strong> and lived in McMinn Co., and Sarah who married what looks like <strong>Ruse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>James&#8217; sister, Elizabeth <strong>Casey Blackwood<\/strong>, and her husband William <strong>Blackwood<\/strong> also lived in Rhea County.
