New DNA Results for Daniel Casey, RWS
A second set of DNA test results just received have validated the bloodline for Daniel Casey, RWS. He was born ca 1760, lived in Virginia, then moved to Georgia about 1785 where he resided in Wilkes, later Elbert County. His son John Casey married Elizabeth Pace, dau. of Barnabas Pace. Two of John and Elizabeth's sons, Wiley Casey b 23 May 1802 in GA, and Barnabas, b 3 Apr 1816 in GA, are represented by male descendants who submitted DNA for the Casey project. The identity of this Daniel Casey's father is currently unknown or unproven, but he seems to have close ties with one Roger Casey of Virginia who eventually lived in Lincoln Co., GA close to the SC border. We would love for some unknown relative to surface whose DNA matched our Daniel's line so we could possibly establish another link to the past. - Joyce Harris
