The Casey Surname DNA Project

As part of our Lost Colony project, we're reconstructing the early families
on Hatteras island, one by one, form both extracted records and family
histories. Hatteras Island was part of Currituck, Hyde and current Dare
Counties in NC. The Casey family was found there early. Here is some
information about the early family members.

William Casey first appears on Hatteras island in the 1810 census. Price
reports him near Askin's Creek which is located in Avon. There are other
Casey families on the mainland prior to 1810, but I don't know if or how
they are connected.

If you have more information about this family or descend from them, please
contact me. Thank you.

Hi Walt,

I have a Sarah KERSEY (sometimes known as CASEY) m Ed BILLUPS, but she was
born about the time you have her marrying Edward? I have no actual proof

Issac's will as Sara BILLUPS, other undocumented info shows his name "Ed".

Here's what I have:
I show her as the d/o Thomas KERSEY & Lucy (unknown maiden name). Her
brother Isaac KERSEY left a will which shows:

Sarah Casey was born about 1735 or 1736 probably in Matthews County
Virginia. Her father may have been Richard Casey, but it is going to take
more documentation. The next really big event that we find in Sarah's life
is her marriage to Edward Billups in 1756
