From 'History of Jefferson County, Illinois' by Anonymous 1883
     ISAAC CASEY (deceased) was born in Tennessee March 25, 
1811, to Abraham and Nancy (BAKER) CASEY.  He was brought to this county at an 
early date, and was mostly reared and educated here.  His occupation was always 
that of farmer.  October 31, 1833, he was married to Tabitha WHITE, present 
wife of James C. BALDRIDGE.  In 1835, he bought a farm in Grand Prairie 
Township, where he resided till time of death, November 23, 1840.  He was the 
father of three children--Martha A. (deceased), wife of George DAVIS; Mary A., 
wife of E. S. NOLEMAN; and Robert F.  Mr. CASEY volunteered from Mt. Vernon 
during the Black Hawk war, and was at Kellogg's Grove when so many were decoyed 
from the fort and killed.  He helped to keep wet blankets on the fort, so that 
the Indians could not fire it.  Mr. Casey was an energetic and successful 
business man.  In politics, he was Democratic, and before death was a professor 
of religion.
