I am trying to trace my great-great-great grandparents, DENNIS CASEY (1801-1873) and HONORA (O'BRIEN) CASEY (1816-1871) to County Kerry (Listowel or Killarney), Ireland as well as locate other descendants in the following New York State and Pennsylvania counties: Allegany, Cattaraugus, and McKean. I would appreciate any information about the people listed below. About 1848 Dennis, Honora, and their six children--John T. (1835-1889), Timothy (1836-1864), Ellen (born 1841-1910), Mary, Edward, and Dennis G. (about 1847-1909)-- emigrated from Listowel or Killarney. They were Catholic, grocers, comfortably established financially. However, in about 1848, when great numbers starved because of the Great Potato Famine, they suffered heavy financial losses, having given freely to those who had no money to pay. Dennis and his family settled in Cuba, N.Y and he was one of the original members of Our Lady of Angels Church. A family document described him as a "crew boss." "He did the 'figuring' and always wore a high silk hat!" Details pertaining to Dennis and Honora children include: 1.) John T. married Margaret Foley and became a section foreman on the Erie Railroad. He was educated, a violinist, and an overseer of the poor for three consecutive years. John and Margaret had 4 children, Josephine Skinner, Nora E, Timothy, Mary J. and Rev. John. 2.) Timothy, worked on the Old Genesee Canal. He drowned at his work while still young. 3.) Ellen married Patrick O'Hern. Among their 6 children, Edward who won both the Cornell scholarship and the West Point appointment when he graduated from Olean High School and who rose to a colonel eventually. Father Louis O'Hern, who held high position in the Paulist order of priests. Father John Francis O'Hern, who was bishop of the Rochester Dioceses. Father Dennis O'Hern, who died at a rather young age. Monsignor Thomas O'Hern, was a very popular preacher. He gave weekly radio sermons from Buffalo, New York. Nora who married Judge Parker of Children's Court in Olean. 4.) Mary married Maurice O'Hern. They had 3 girls and 6 boys. The girls married well and the boys held prominent positions, a doctor, 2 priests, a railroad engineer, and an actor. 5.) Edward became a carpenter, left Olean, New York and settled in Red Oak Iowa. There, he became a well-to-do building contractor and raised a fine family. 6.) Dennis G. First married Maria Brown (Protestant). See below. I have determined that my lineage stems from Dennis G. and Maria (BROWN) CASEY. They married when they were very young, lived on the Haskell Road, Olean, New York, and had four children, Carrie Marion (Mamie), John A. (born 1872) , and Francis C. (1875-1939). Maria died young and these children were raised (Protestant) by the Brown family. 1.) Carrie, married Aaron Keller and they lived in Cuba, New York. Carrie had no children and died very young. 2.) Marion married Dan Van Cise and lived n Castile, New York. She had one son, Earl Van Cise. She passed away when she was about 35 years old. 3.) John A. married Pearl Leona Foster had four daughters, Genevieve, Thelma, Irene, and Veryl. 4.) Francis C. married Glenna Maude Baker. They had four children which are discussed below. Dennis remarried in July of 1884. His second wife was Bridget Fitzgibbons (Catholic). Together they had three girls, Helen Elizabeth (1886-1960), Anna Josephine (1887-1925), and Mary Agnes. They were raised Catholic and never married. In 1909 Dennis, a carpenter, fell from a scaffold in Olean, New York, broke his neck, and subsequently died. Francis CASEY, from Dennis' first marriage, is my great-grandfather. Francis, a tile maker, and Maude had four children, my grandfather, Ralph Dennis (husband of Anna), Ned Ernest, Leona May and John Andrew. All of these became teachers but John, who died during childhood. Moreover, Ralph, Ned, and Leona all married but Ralph is the only one that had children. Sincerely, Dr. Kimberly Casey-Del Priore
