Unfortunately I don’t have any additional information on that family. However I did see a Charles D. Creasy in the 1850 Census, Southern Div., Bedford, VA M432-935, p. 218. He is 13 and the HH is Mathew Creasy, 40 M, carpenter; Capaan [?] 37 F; William H., 12 M; Patsy I., 10F; John R., 8 M. All were born in Virginia. This may be the Charles you are looking for, but that is something only you could determine. As so many Virginians migrated to Tennessee in the 1800’s, this may be a connection to keep in mind. I would suggest searching census records using all possible spelling variations in both TN and possibly VA. Start with your grandfather and work backward in time. It will take some time, but it is a good bet they will be there.
Hey There, MOST of the Creasey's or other spellings in Campbell, Bedford, Franklin and Roanoke Cos. are all related. I use to do genealogy with a Diane Creasey Robertson in Roanoke, VA. We use to go to a lot of cemeteries in those areas and she always found a Creasey that she was related to. Happy Hunting doc P.S. NO, I do not have her e-mail address. We lost connect about 3 years ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: <trenthistory@yahoo.com> To: <VACAMPBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: [VACAMPBELL] Re: CREASY/CRESIE > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HBC.2ACI/1222.1 > > Message Board Post: > > In the 1860’s the Creasy farm (spelled Creecy) was next to the Trent > family farm on Bear Creek, north of Diamond Hill Church in Campbell > County, VA.
