Notes:

!BIRTH-DEATH-BURIAL: From John Everingham along with the following
"According to 'Sam Clemens of Hannibal', page 21, at the time of William
Casey's marriage he was a buckskin rifleman of Logan's Fort. He was astalwart
young hunter, with sharp eyes and long black hair, already famous for his
courage. Knowing the traitsand habits of the red man as shrewdly as heknew
those of the buffalo, the panther, and the bear, Colonel Casey surprisedand
killed several Indian warriors in the forest and canebrake, who werestalking
him."
"One of the first judges of the Green County Quarter Session Court wasWilliam
Casey. The judges were all farmers of respectable education and strongnatural
endowments, and very well suited to the office they filled."
"Colonel William Casey was a native of Frederick County, Virginia, andremoved
to Kentucky in the early part of the winter of 1779-1780; and during the
intensely cold weather of that memorable winter, lived in a camp on theHanging
Fork of Dix River. He was one of the company who with the Logans,
Montgomeries, McClures, & Whitleys, established Logan's Station at Buffalo
Springs, near the present town of Stanford. From this point Colonel Casey
formed a company of some thirty harty and well-tired men, with the view of
establishing stations south of Green River. In the spring of 1791,Casey, with
his party, composed of the Butlers, Tuckers, Montgomeries, Dudleys,Fields,
Lawsons, Harveys, Fletchers, and others started down the Green River,crossing
at the mouth of what was afterward called Casey's Creek. At a largespring of
most excellant water, now on the farm owned and operated by JamesCallison,
they erected a blockhouse and fort, which in honor of their captain, they
called Casey's Station. The Casey Farm was the first farm opened south of
Russell's Creek.
"Colonel Casey was a man of strong natural mind, of great benevolence and
goodness of heart. No man was ever more beloved by his acquaintances or
deservedly more popular. When the election came up for delagates to the
Convention of 1799 to remodel the Constitution of Kentucky, he waselected by a
large majority over all opposition."
"Casey died in December 1816. His elaborate funeral has been rememberedas one
of the most bizarre in Kentucky. Casey had long been crippled up with
arthritis and was unable to lie down. Before his death Casey requestedbeing
buried sitting in the same chair and upright position he had beenconfined to
for many years. He also requested that his tomb be lined with the brickhe had
been using to build a grand new house on a sloping rise of his RussellCreek
property. Casey further requested that no stone be placed atop hisgrave, but
that a tree be planted there. His requests were granted."
