WILLIAM CASEY was born in Northampton, Massachusetts, January 22, 1839. His
parents were Michael and Catharine (Griffin) Casey, both natives of Ireland.
They came to the United States in 1823, and were well-to-do farmers in the East.

arrivals on this coast, engaged in mining. He followed mining with varied
success for twelve years. In 1872 he came to San Andreas and established himself

defeated by Benjamin K. Thorn.

   He was married in 1861 to Miss Alice Power, a native of Massachusetts.
Following are the names of the children born to them: Edward, Kate, William,
John, Alice, James, Richard and Margaret (twins), and Robert, and Philip S.,
deceased. Socially Mr. Casey is a Free and Accepted Mason. P. M. of Calaveras

lodge he gave the name in 1879.
