#9. Kersey, Baltimore MD mid 1700s and descendants - from Pansylea Willburn
Top
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 1999 10:03:45 -0800 From: "Pansylea Willburn" <willburn@earthlink.net> Subject: Kersey, Baltimore MD mid 1700s and descendants Hello, I am new to the list. I am interested in exchanging information on Henry Kersey, who married Elizabeth Whealand, in 1746 in Baltimore Co., MD. I am trying to prove or disprove that it is this Baltimore County Henry Kersey who moved to the area of old Yohagania Co., western VA by the late 1760s. This land became part of Washington Co., PA around 1780, I believe. Henry received a Virginia land grant there, ca. 1771, as did his oldest son William. One of the oldest daughters Mary married David Lindsey there, ca. 1770. Another son Joseph survived the ill-fated Crawford Expedition against the Indians (the land was in Washington Co., PA then and he lists his residence as Allegheny Co. PA) in the early 1780s, and he later received a Rev War pension for his service there. David Lindsey also was a Rev. War soldier. Known children of Henry were William, Mary, Joseph, James (my line), John, Samuel Henry, Agnes, and Elizabeth (not necessarily listed in order of birth). Henry and children, with the exception of William, were in Greene Co., what was to become TN, by 1785, according to a tax list. David Lindsey was on the 1783 tax list there, having received land for his Rev War service. I suspect Henry and family followed him there. This Greene Co. land was first probably a part of North Carolina, became briefly the State of Franklin, and became Tennessee with statehood for Tennessee. After the move to Virginia and Tennessee, the name is spelled both Kersey and Casey, often in the same record! See Yohagania Co., old western Virginia, Washington Co., PA, and Greene Co., TN court, tax, and land records for examples of the spelling variety. After about 1800, the family seemed to use the spelling Casey consistently. An 1876 Casey manuscript, done for the first centennial, says that brothers William, Joseph, James, John, and Samuel Henry (known children of Henry) were born in Baltimore Co., MD. Joseph's application for Rev. War pension states he was born in Baltimore Co., MD, ca. 1763, and it gives the path of migration for the family. This led me to look for a Henry Kersey (the spelling used in the 1700s), and I located the marriage record cited above there. You can help me either by proving or disproving! I need to know what happened to the Henry Kersey who married Elizabeth Whealand in Baltimore Co., 1746. All help will be gratefully accepted. Thank you. Pansylea

Those of you who have web pages might want to put one on your page. It's a single site search engine. You will find it right near the top of my page, just before the Kersey web ring logo. For instance, if you are trying to find Kerseys from Kentucky, you can just enter the words Kersey and Kentucky and it will return 139 references. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

I believe William stayed, at least into the 1790s, in Washington Co., PA. I have no material on William. Henry's son, about whom you ask, was always called Samuel Henry, and he was one of the younger children, becoming of age in the late 1790s. He married Anna Biehler in Grainger Co., TN, in 1798, and died in 1799, leaving a six month old son, Samuel Henry, Jr. The Henry Kersey court records in old Yohagania Co., western Virginia in the 1770s and 1780s belong to this Henry Kersey.

Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1999 10:07:06 EST From: BUFFUM2@aol.com Subject: Re: Kersey Marve & Kersey List, I just read that Christropher is going to Manatee County, Florida. I do hope that he will share the Kersey information that he gleens there. My Kersey's settled in that area, and Hillsborough County. Stephen A. Kersey moved there with his wife Mary, his sons, Joseph Tally , Henry, and two daughters, AlWilda, and Pocahontas after 1870. There were also grown children that didn't follow him, until much later. They all stayed in that area and raised families, with the exception of Ben Kersey my great grandfather. Ben stayed in Pensacola and the rest of the family traveled on. Alwilda married a George Stephens, and Pocahontas ( Pokey ) married David Thompson. Most of them are still in that area. I have been in touch with a Chuck Pricher who is Alwilda's great-grandson. He lives in Plant City. Chuck sent me a picture of Alwilda ( Granny Little Toe ) I would love to know if there are more decendents that are searching for the blood line. Good Luck Chris, Doris

In 1252, the Lord of the manor of Kersey granted the right to have a weekly market. Tradition has it that the wealth was based on wool exports. Sheep were reared locally. Clothmaking was established by the beginning of the 14th century. In 1349, a large group of the populaton died probably from anthrax. By the end of the 15th century, clothmaking was enjoying a big boom which lasted through the 16th century. Then the center of the woolen indusrty moved to Yorkshire in the 17th century. Kersey had to depend on farming again. By the 19th century, there were about 800 people in the town. After 1870, the population fell to 350 where it is now. By the 20th century, few people were farmers. Many people maved as far away as London. Free education to Kersey in 1873. Electicity, running water, and drainage did not come to the town until the 1950's. This was from an article that must have from the town (chamber of commerce) when my cousin Fred Kersey visited there in the 1970's. Mary Wolfe Graylwolfe@aol.com

In the South, Casey is pronounced K-Z (in the North K-C), so when an ancestor went into court or to get a written record like a deed, marriage record, will, etc. and said his name the person hearing it wrote it as it sounded phonetically to him. If he said Ker-Z, the transcribed may have heard it as K-Z. This probably led to the variety of spelling I have found in my Kersey/Casey research. It seems that, in my line, the spelling Kersey was used in Maryland in the 1700s, Kersey/Coursey/Casey in old western Virginia and the same in Washington Co., PA. When they got to Greene Co., TN, the records are really split, sometimes using both spellings, Kersey and Casey, in one document about the same man! By 1800, in Tennessee, the name is most often spelled Casey, and by the mid-1800s, in my line, no one seemed to have the memory/use of the Kersey spelling. Other Kersey families, I am sure, never used the Casey spelling, but at least one other in my knowledge, the Kersey family in Caswell Co., TN (not my line) started using the Casey spelling around 1810 when they moved to Grainger Co., TN. Does anyone else have any ideas on this Kersey/Casey spelling? Good luck in your research!

For example my maiden name is Bean nothing simpler right, but if the person writing was German they wrote Bien OR if the person was Irish they wrote Bayne. Nothing wrong, they wrote it as they knew the name to be. So the Beans are hard to track too. Atleast my mother was a Jones plenty of them (lolol), Donna Kursey Donnakk@aol.com

Does Newton Co., MO have an active historical society? I suspect the Florida War refers to the Seminole Indian War for Indian removal similar to the Cherokee Trail of Tears. What do you think?

Found nothing as to where Martha married Frank Kersey. If Julia's Martha was born in 1846, then most probably the Martha number 5 is the one that she is looking for, since she would have been 4 years old on this Census. Sorry, the only Benjamin F. Kersey that came close to her Frank was my G.Grandfather, Ben. I found none in TN, or GA. The only Benjamin in Ga was married to Ann Osburn, but a different time frame. I've often wondered if this could have been the white man that adopted Stephen > He and Ann had no children. Wish I could have helped more. Found a lot of Benjamin Kersey's from other states.

That would make Robert his son. Since we have been looking for Roberts father in Virginia, maybe he was in Tennessee. Is this possible. Sue

I am interested in the David who is said to be the father of James Kersey and John Kersey who were born in the 1830s. These boys lived with an Odell (Odle) family in Pulaski Co., VA as teenagers. This made me wonder if their father had died or if there was some connection to this family--I do not know the maiden name of Jeremiah Odell's wife.

From: Ed Butcher To: Merv Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 1999 9:15 AM Subject: News I just read this in the newspaper and I thought it might be of interest. Almeta Taken from Highlands Today, 2/9/99 Bowling Green- Collette Green was all set to appear at tonight's city commission to express concern about wild chidkens running amok in her neighborhood. She may not have to go to the trouble. That's because Lloyd Kersey is on the job. The chickens in question are bantams and Police Chief Bobby Brown estimates there's a colony of 40-50 of them living in the woods near Epps Avenue and Grape Street. "They're wild," he said. "The stray dogs can't even catch 'em. They're that wild." Brown explained that people bring in the chickens, a little bit larger than Cornish hens, and then leave them behind when they move on. Forced to fend for themselves, the chickens take up residence at night in wooded areas on the north side of the city and forage for food during the daylight hours. And, yes, they make a lot of noise. Not to mention quite a mess. "They're called bantam," Brown said. "But they'll whoop any chickens in the world. They're tough!" The initial plan was to dispatch an armed Kersey, public works supervisor, and have him shoot the nuisances. But he had other ideas. "As bad a shot as I am I'd probably hit sombody," he seid. "That would be a real story." The best way, he said, is to sneak in among them at night, when they're roosting, and grab them, one by one. But that would cost the city overtime. So Kersey plans to use his dog trap and sprinkle some chicken feed in it. That will take time, he conceded, but it should work. Kersey was all set Monday morning to get out the dog trap, a bag of chicken feed and set about the task at hand. But first he had to deal with an emergency. He had to rescue a puppy that got its head stuck in a wooded fence. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <META content='"MSHTML 5.00.0910.1309"' name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><B>From:</B> <A href="mailto:edbut@ct.net" title=edbut@ct.net>Ed Butcher</A> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> <DIV><B>To:</B> <A href="mailto:millerm@halcyon.com" title=millerm@halcyon.com>Merv</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, February 09, 1999 9:15 AM</DIV> <DIV><B>Subject:</B> News</DIV></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I just read this in the newspaper and I thought it might be of interest.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Almeta</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Taken from Highlands Today, 2/9/99<BR>Bowling Green- Collette Green was all set to appear at tonight's city commission to express concern about wild chidkens running amok in her neighborhood.

The Kersey's that I know anyway ! Why not just catch the chickens at night, pen them up to fatten them, use the eggs and then eat the chickens. If he's a true Kersey ( like the one's I know and love ) he will do all of that anyway and still charge the City overtime !!!!! Wonder how much he got for rescuing the puppy ?

She married George Alexander Stephens Aug 9, 1885. He was a widower and she raised his children as her own ( I just found this out ). Her sister Emma Pocahontas Kersey married David Thompson Dec 5, 1882. They are also on the 1910 Census listed with children. Have all of the other children's info, if anyone is interested. One of Joseph Tallies sons was killed when he was caught stealing hogs. Doris
