The son of Randolph and Mary Jane Pennington Casey, he married Elizabeth Mackey in 1788 in South Carolina and moved that year to Barren Co, Ky where he was sheriff for about 6 years, 1788-1803.
In 1803 they moved to near Cave-in-Rock on the Ohio River.
In the Spring of 1816 Isaac went to Jefferson Co, IL with his son William, daughter Brunetta, and son-in-law Isaac Hicks. They made a camp, built a small cabin, and cultivated a little field. In the fall, they went back to the Ohio River and moved their families and stock to Jefferson County, IL. William moved into the cabin and Isaac built a cabin on section 31.
In 1820 the entire county had only 691 people in it. All the Caseys lived in Casey's Prairie precinct.
Isaac & William built a little hand mill (the first in the township) that would grind a bushel or two of corn a day.
Elizabeth died Feb. 8, 1834 in Johnson County, IL. He then married Jemima Ord.
Isaac surveyed much of the land in Jefferson County and his son, William, gave (sold?) the land on which part of Mt. Vernon was built.
Isaac was a good Christian, honest in business, courteous and kind, a friend to all mankind. He was buried by his wife Elizabeth.
Tombstone:died age 81.
(I'd like to see a picture of this tombstone. Another record I found said he died Oct 16, 1854.)
