Hugh,

further to my previous email, altho I have only been able to go to the IGI, which is not the most reliable source, I have deduced that Sam Wattleworth was born c 1646 and m Jane Barton. Wm Casement m their daughter Jane, but I am NOT descended from her, BUT, another of the couple's daughters, Esther who was b c1679 & m xxxxx Thomason, and was the mother of the Revd Geo Thomason, vicar of Magheragal, whose daughter Mary Thomason was the second wife of Wm Casement, and it is from her eldest son, Ewen/Hugh that I am descended.Jane and Mary were therefore aunt and niece. I have also tracked down Sam Wattleworth's will and also Jane Barton's will as well, but as I say all this data is ex the IGI, and I would prefer a more authoritative source. Often it is good, but at times some of the entries are sheer speculation.

WHat is truly bizarre with these ecclesiastical links that Wm Casement was so laid back in sorting out Mary's estate that he was hauled before the ecclesiastical court and sentenced to the bishop's prison at St Germans !!

Robert

Hi,
thanks for your message. I will be very happy to exchange data. I will be happy to do so via the board of if you would like to exchange scans of any documents, we can email direct, my email is "elro kits at btinternet dot com". with the GAPS omitted etc so that an automatic email search programme will not spam us.

John Corlett, Captain of the Parish of Lezayre and Ann Casement had five chidlren as you say. Thomas Arthur Corlett was bap 23 Nov 1792, and was buried Lezayre 30 Nov 1761. He had been High Bailiff, ie judge, in Ramsey and later vicar-general.

I have not been able to trace the will of Hugh Casement, and if a copy of that is available it would be helpful.

As regards Eliza, she married Thomas Cowle, a farmer of Bride by special licence AT the MANSION HOUSE of Loughan-y-Eigh Lezayre on 17 Dec 1812. Cowle was probably bedridden by this time altho just 22 YO, hence the special icence,and was buried 17 April 1813. His family had been in occupation of Ballavair in Bride for over 200 years. The couple had one daughter Ann, baptised at Bride 29 March 1813; she was heiress of Ballavair, SO LONG AS HER MOTHER DID NOT REMARRY UNTIL SHE REACHED AGE OF MAJORITY, THEN 14. Ann married into the LaMothe family on 20 April 1830, her husband becoming captain of the parish on account of Ann bringing Ballavair into the family. For five generations prior to that the captains of the parish had been drawn from the Christians of Ballayonaigue, one of whom was Thomas Cowle's uncle on his mother or grandmother's side. Ann Cowle's descendants included two High Bailiffs of Ramsey, one of whom later became Deemster and Deputy Governor. Eliza Corlett later met and married Wm Christian, of Ballakey a family than had been in possession of the farm since 1600 and still farms there today. They are not related to the Ballayonaigue family. If of interest, I can provide details of this family, as I am descended from Isabella Christian who was born in 1826.

Going to Ann herself, She had moved to the IOM by 1786, and was living in Patrick parish, near Peel, She made 3 sales of land in 1786 of parts of the Ballaleece Estate, and after her marriage to John Corlett, the couple jointly sold another and larger part of Ballaleece.

This is where a major problem in logic arises. Ann's property sales in 1786-1790 netted over £1200, and translated into current day valued would be comfortably in excess of £2m, given current property values, and maybe more. She was an extremely wealthy heiress, but IF she was the youngest daughter of Hugh Casement and Elizabeth Higginson, WHY did SHE inherit Ballaleece and not one of the older brothers, and who did she inherit it from ?

I have found no obvious trace of a Leece Casement connection prior to Ann, and even if there WAS such a connection, Ann would share it with her full brothers and sisters. The custom with landed families was for the eldest son to inherit, not the youngest daughter, so it would be hard to imagine a more unlikely heiress than Ann. Had she move to the Island, and had a marriage to the Ballaleece family which was shortlived, as with her daughter Eliza's marriage to Tom Cowle, it would show on the marriage records, so that is NOT an answer.

The last male Leece of Ballaleece died c1784, but at present the Leece family tree is very obscure. One line says the last of the line died without marrying and the estate passed to his sister. but the guy who died in 1784 was in his twenties, I suspect that he died without issue and with his father dead, the estate went to his sister or more likely to his aunt, unless the sister was a lot older than he was.

Some Manx sources suggest that Hugh may have married twice, the second wife being the Leece girl who inherited the property when her brother or nephew died. If so, Ann could have been the daughter of this second marriage. At present, I do not have a shred of hard documentary evidence to support this, but Ann was, for some reason, the Ballaleece heiress, and of that there can be no doubt, my own research in IOM property deeds having confirmed that.

If Ann shared the same pedigree as the rest of the known children of Hugh Casement and Eliz Higginson, why did Ann inherit, and not one of the older brothers, as would be normal. In that context, Hugh's own father William Casement who died in 1733 provided an education for Ewan/Hugh, and also for his younger brother, but instructed his third wife to provided "sufficient learning and domesticity" for his 6 year old daughter Esther to make her fit to go into service ( ie become a maid. His treatment of the surviving daughters from the first marriage was not particularly generous either, so there was not a tradition of generous provision to younger (or older) sisters.

Obviously one question that is key to this is when did Elizabeth Higginson die ? If she died before 1754, then Hugh could have remarried, and if her mother was a Leece this would explain Ann's inheritance.

As a matter of interest, do you know anything about the Hugh Casement who married Jane Huddlestone at Downpatrick on 19 January 1752 ? The Huddlestones were a Manx family, and if she was our shared ancestor's second wife, it is possible that she is the link to Ballaleece through some marriage. Other than the bare A married B data, i know nothing of her, so she may be a very bright red herring. I merely mention this as a topic worth exploring.

I assume you are aware that Hugh's father William was married three times, to Jane Wattleworth, the widow of John Knipe, then to Mary Thomason, and finally to Dorothy Parr, als Humphrey. I can provide details of these marriages, and several of the wills.

As regards Mary Thomason, I do not have details of the Wattleworth ancestry, and any details of this would be most welcome. At present all I have is the Revd George Thomason, vicar of Magheragal in Co Antrim.

I would welcome any background on Eliz Higginson, who I gather was the daugjhter of the rector of Ballanderry in CO Antrim.

William Casement died in 1733, as I expect you know, but I have a copy of his will if of interest. AT present Manx records prior to this William are messy, and most records comment that Thomas Casement of Lezayre was an MHK in 1662 and leave it at that. I believe that there was another William between Thomas MHK and the William who died in 1733, and that he died in 1699, his father Thomas having died intestate some 27 years prior to that c1673. If so, Thomas's father also seems to have been Thomas. This is presently a conjectural line, with a lot of loose ends floating about, and if you can add anything that will be welcome. There are also references to Robert Casement who held Lezayre in 1611 and a McCasment who was on the Island by 1429, but this long predates parish records and the best that can be hoped for is a rough trace of land ownership movements from the LV and LA (the IOM land record books.

Going on to the Corlett family, ie, Ann's husband, we are on firm ground there back to around 1530, but they are not of course Casement ancestors, so are of interest to me, as they are some of my ancestors, but they will not be your antecedents.

As mentioned I will be happy to supply you with copies of any of the wills referred to. They are quite large files, so I assume you are on broadband, but if not, we will need to think how we do so. I only upgraded recently, and big files took a lifetime to download, so I always check up !

best wishes

Robert

hughcasement_1 — 2009-10-08 18:31:35Z

Ann was indeed the youngest dau. of Hugh (Ewan) Casement and Elizabeth Higginson. She was buried in Lezayre 2 Jan. 1847 aged 90, which puts her birth circa 1756.

Corlett children known to me:
1. Elizabeth ('Eliza'); bapt. 14 June 1788; mentioned in the will of her grandfather Hugh; alive in 1828.
2. Sarah; bapt. 22 Dec. 1790; mentioned in the will of her grandfather Hugh.
3. Thomas Arthur who succeeded to Loughan ny Yeigh [various spellings]; d. 26 Nov. 1861.
4. Ann or Anne; bapt. 20 Oct. 1798; d. 1871.
5. Elinor or Ellen; apt. 13 July 1802.

I'd be very interested in comparing notes. We would seem to agree about the Wattleworth and Thomson connections: quite possible that Mary Thomason was attending the funeral of her grandfather archdeacon Sam Wattleworth when she met the rececently widowed William Casement.

Re: Casement Family of Antrim in 1800's

elrokits — 2009-10-06 12:28:23Z

I have been carrying out some research on my family, and realised that there is a connection with the Casement family of Antrim in the eighteenth century, but have, as is often the case, some conflicting evidence.

The Casement tree from Hugh Casement (1720-1797 and Elizabeth Higginson of Ballinderry, Co Antrim, is reasonably well known, but it is prior to that stage that our two lines diverge..

In 1786, a girl by the name of Ann Casement was living in Patrick parish near Peel in the IOM, and sold three parcels of land, the deeds recording that she was formerly of Ballinderry, Co Antrim and now residing in Patrick. In 1787 she married John Corlett of Loughan-y-Eigh mansion house, Lezayre, Ramsey IOM, and in 1790 she and her husband sold a further part of the same Ballaleece estate in Patrick confirming this is the right girl. The couple had five children,the eldest being Eliza Corlett, from whom I am descended. One of Ann Casement's sons became Vicar-General of the IOM, which two of her daughter Eliza's descendants became judges, one becoming Deputy-Governor. From Ann Casement onwards, who died in 1847 aged 90, I have no problems, but tracing back does give us grief.

She would have been born c1757, and with the reference to Ballinderry seems likely to be a child of Hugh Casement and Elizabeth Higginson, but in "The Peerage.Com" there is a reference to two daughters, Eleanor and Mary, but no Ann. so we have not "tied" Ann to Hugh and Elizabeth, except thru Ballinderry.

That there seems to be a strong Manx connection is evident from the marriage of Hugh and Elizabeth's son Roger, who married Catherine Cosnahan in 1809. The peerage gives no details, but Cosnahan is a well established Manx name, and several generations were vicars of Santon and lie under "The Great Stone" at Santon. I know that there is no Cosnahan connection with myself after 1800, but due to my own descent from the Parr and Norris families, via the Corletts, Stevensons and Tyldesleys, it is quite likely that I have some Cosnahan connections back in the 1500s, but have not got back to unravelling that yet.

Reverting to Ewan or Hugh, Casement born c1720, my own researches in IOM records tends to confirm work by a Manx genealogist some years ago, as follows. By 1662, Thomas Casement MHK was living at Ballacowle, Lezayre, and his son, William Casement, who was born some time before 1690, married Jane Knipe, a widow from Malew on 30 November 1708. Prior to her marriage to John Knipe on 4 November 1702, she had been a Wattleworth. Daughters Jane and Cath were christened in 1710 and 1712, and Mary was baptised on 23 November 1717, but was buried twelve days later. Her mother Jane was to join her just under a year later, being buried at Malew on 9 November 1718. The following year, William married Mary Thomason or Thomasson, the spelling varying. She was the daughter of the Revd George Thomason, who had been vicar of Magheragal in Co Antrim, in the north of Ireland. The couple had three children, all baptised at Lezayre, Ewan on 17 September 1720, George on 6 May 1723 and Easther on 4 September 1726. Mrs Mary Casement, als Thomason, died on 4 August 1729 before Esther was three years old, so with all children under age, supervisors had to be appointed from amongst the family's relations, including two of the Wattleworths ! William Casement was ordered to provide an inventory of his wife's estate, but failed to do so, and was eventually brought before the Ecclesiastical Court and sentenced to be confined to St German's prison until he gave bonds as security that he would provide the necessary inventory. Clearly, William did not believe in long bereavements and on 14 June 1732, he married another widow, Dorothy Parr, who had been a Humphrey previously. Like both earlier marriages, it was shortlived, but this time, it was William, who was living at the Kella, which is north of Sulby Bridge, who was to pass away, He was buried at Lezayre on 19 June 1733.

In "The Peerage.Com, William Casement is said to have married Jane Nattleworth but I think this is a clear error for Wattleworth, which is a well known Manx family. so should read that William married a widow Mrs Jane Knipe, nee Wattleworth, and had three daughters by her.

This, and the fragmentary data that Thomas Casement was a Member of the House of Keys, the Manx parliament in 1662, is as far as I have been able to get. Amusingly, assuming all this is correct, as otehr members of the House of Keys at the time included Major General Sir Richard Stevenson of Balladoole, Deemster Sir Thomas Norris, and Comptroller Richard Tyldesley, out of the 24 members of the House in 1662, four were abcestors !

Does anyone have any further detail that may amplify or amend the above

Roger David Casement never served in the army. There were a number of members of the Casement family named Roger and one of them might have served in the army. RDC's g-grandfather Roger lived in Ballymena and was a solicitor.

We have inherited a wooden travel chest with brass fittings which includes a nameplate, presumably of the owner, "Lady Casement"; the box probably dates from the mid- to late 19th century. We have tried to trace a Lady Casement without success and would welcome any information about her.

Hi Don,

We are 3rd cousins.

Your father, William Graham Casement, was my 2nd cousin once removed.

His mother, Anna Graham, was my 1st cousin twice removed

Her mother, Anna Stevenson, was my great grand aunt.

Ann's sister, Jane Stevenson, who was my great grandmother, married Samuel Warwick. This is where the Warwick name originated. Samuel had 17 kids which helped generate a lot of relatives for us.

jeffreydudgeon — 2007-11-23 14:47:48Z

Lesley

If you read the relevant words I wrote in my book on Casement I don’t make a definite case for the Balharry girls, who married his brothers, Tom and Charles Casement, being members of the Catholic Apostolic Church.

“Charlie, at least, returned to settle down in Melbourne where he worked for the Tramway and Omnibus Company and lastly the Melbourne Steamship Company. Their first marriages were to two sisters Minnie and Blanche Balharry, daughters of James Balharry and Emily Perry. She was the daughter of Charles J. Perry (1817-1893) who married as his second wife Isabella, the widow of Hugh Casement, their only full uncle. The Perry and Casement families were therefore linked through membership of the Catholic Apostolic Church. A third Balharry sister, Emily, migrated to London.”

However it does seem a strong possibility, confirmed to a degree by what you write of your great aunt Ethel (I don’t know where she fits in however), and the number of Perry/Casement/Balharry intermarriages that they were all members at some point.

The church may have started petering out by the 1920s. I wonder what happened to its buildings and assets in Australia?

Do you know anything of the fate of the two sons of Hugh Casement (b. Belfast ca. 1825 d. 1861 Australia m. ca. 1856 Isabella Hussey of Dublin b. 1836 d. 1924: two sons Francis and Somerville b. 1861. She m. 2nd Charles J. Perry b.1817 d. 1893.)?

I am still on the hunt for the origins of RDC’s mother Anne Jephson.

Re: Sir Roger Casement

LesleyMcN — 2007-11-20 10:50:07Z

Hi Jeff. Why do you think the Balharry family belonged to the Catholic Apostolic Church? The Perry family belonged to that church but my mother always said that the only Balharry to attend it was her great aunt Ethel Clare née Balharry. Ethel's parents died when she was 12 and she then lived with the family of her cousin Herbert Lindley Perry in Mentone. She went with them to the Catholic Apostolic Church in Carlton. Mentone and Carlton are suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

Sir Roger Casement's grandfather Hugh Casement and his uncle Hugh Casement both belonged to the Catholic Apostolic Church. They were buried in the "other religion" section of the Melbourne Cemetery.

No. My gg-grandfather is George, the third son of Roger of Harryville. He is also a great-uncle to Sir Roger. My grandfather, Robert, was a second cousin of Sir Roger but was about 20 years younger. My grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1909 and we've had no contact with the family since the 1950's. In 2004 a relative in OZ responded to my posting and he connected me with Hugh in Germany who is an absolute family treasure.

When I originally posted I was trying to find out who was part of the family and where my gg-grandfather fit in. Thanks to Hugh that is all clear now.

yes, to my knowledge Mary Jane is descendant of Samuel and Ester/Hester. She was one of 10 children and may have been married previously to a John Scott of Camden in 1843. Prior to moving to Murray Twp, the family were living in Ernestown, near Kingston from about 1835 after arrival from Ireland.

David & Mary Jane had at least 6 children (from census info) and their names mirror Mary Jane's sib's/parents closely

In 1891 census of Murray, Mary Jane is at residence with brother James, sister Sarah Pickle, niece Gertrude Pickle and father Samuel listed.

Hope this helps - I do have other info re Samue/Ester's children if you need more.

Oh, please don't think it was a hassle!! It wasn't; and if you hadn't asked, it may have been even longer before I discovered my error.

After 13 years of this I have learned that you should never give up on a line, because you never know what another researcher may find that is of importance to you. Even if it appears that you're not connected, their information may still help you.

And you certainly didn't "bug" me.......I enjoyed it. It's always nice to find out that another person shares your intrest in a particular line.

And thank you very much for your complement on my site; and you know, you don't have to wait to put up your own work. Just get a freepages account at RootsWeb and put up what you DO have, and you may be surprised someday by someone who is connected and wants to share.

And Jody, if you don't ask, you won't find stuff out! If folks feel "bugged" by your questions, that's their loss, really. I get terse answers occasionally, and I think, "well, I'm never asking anybody again," but two hours later, I'm asking someone else. Don't let occaisional negativity stop you from your search.

The world needs more genealogists. What a better place this would be, if more people were involved in the pursuit of their ancestry as opposed to the pursuit of things like oil, power, money...........idealistic, yes, but I can dream about it! :)

Good luck in your search, Jody. And don't hesitate to email me if you have a question.........

Well, I'm daft sometimes, and it's actually James Edward Casement.....

This link http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~claymaresindex/313.htm will take you to Uncle Bert's page. You can get to James Edward's page: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~claymaresindex/316.htm

What is on my site is virtually all the information I have for them. If you have any other questions after looking at their pages, email me and I will try to answer them. :)

Can you tell me more about Hubert and Edward James?

Unfortunately, I don't think my James Casement and yours are the same.......He was born 11 Sep 1934 in Medina, Orleans, New York and died 17 Jun 1983 in Medina. He is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery Ridgeway, Orleans, New York. So glad to finally have a response to this post, even if it wasn't a hit!

Thank you for the information on the Samuel Casement family and also on Mary Ann Casement and David Fitzgerald.

As I said in my last posting I'm just starting on this line. I would welcome any further info you could provide on either Samuel and Ester Casement and David and Mary Ann Fitzgerald.

The only children of David and Mary Ann Fitzgerald I know of at this point are my g-grandfather Samuel and one brother William. Samuel Fitzgerald's daughter Ethel was my father's mother. She died in child birth in 1921 when my father was only 6 yrs old. All contact with the Fitzgerald line was lost. So I knew nothing of the Casement side until I started researching Samuel Fitzgerald back in May.

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it very much.

Casement Family in Northumberland Co Ontario

Pat Gray — 2003-06-04 01:08:54Z

I'm looking for information on a Samuel Cas(e)ment who was living in Northumberland Co. Ontario, Murray Twp in 1881. Wife's name is listed as Easter. Both born Ireland c. 1798.

The family next to them is David Fitzgerald and wife MaryJane [Casment]. These are my g-g-grandparents. I suspect that Samuel and Easter Casment are the parents of Mary Jane Casment Fitzgerald. David and MaryJane had a son named Samuel who is my g-grandfather.

I just found out about my Cas(e)ment connection two weeks ago while doing research in Niagara county NY. Many of my Canadian lines lived in both Northumberland East and West. Surnames: Kellogg, Gormley, Fitzgerald, Calcutt, Casment. If you see any connection please email me.

Casement/Casment in Ontario Canada

Pat Gray — 2003-05-30 23:15:50Z

Looking for information about Mary Jane Cas(e)ment. Married to David Fitzgerald c. 1850 in Murray Twp. Northumberland Co,.Ontario.

One known son, my g-grandfather Samuel T. Fitzgerald b. 1856. Samuel m. Anna Calcutt and they too lived in Murray Twp until emigrating to Orleans and Niagara counties, NY c. 1884.

I find the David Fitzgerald family living in Murry Twp in 1871-1881, but believe they were there earlier. Also see that there were many other Cas(e)ment in that area at that time.

Just finding out this info on my Fitzgerald/Casment line after many years of searching.

More than willing to share family info

Thanks for your help

My great grandfather's sister Lena Emma Cobb married Hubert Marcus Casement; I know of one son, Edward James Casement, and his son James Edward Casement. I would love to hear from other Casement relatives!

Casement Family of Antrim in 1800's

DenisaCasement — 2003-11-11 18:49:11Z

I am starting to research my grandfather's family in Antrim. I am looking for info on the wife and children of Thomas Casement b.1802, Ballymena, Antrim.

I am also looking for the ancestors of Sir Roger Casement b.1864, Co.Dublin. His Father, Roger, was from the Casement family in Antrim as well. John Casement of Magherintemple House, Co. Antrim became Sir Roger's gaurdian after the death of his parents.

Any info on this family would be appreciated.

I just put the book "North Platte and Its Associations"
by A. R. Adamson (1910) out on the web.
On page 15 it talks about a Jack and Dan Casement...
don't know if these guys belong to your family, but
I thought I would pass this info on to you...

Good luck!

I have two granduncles named Casement, named Charles and Tom Casement and notably very close relations of Sir Roger. I can offer info on descendants in Australia and would be interested to swap data, please e-mail me at lillyduncanr@yahoo.com.au

Sir Roger Casement

lillyduncanr — 2004-10-04 03:25:48Z

Looking for old photos of Sir Roger Casement's two brothers who married Balharry's in Australia, and also interested to see old pictures of Sir Roger. I'm interested to talk to anyone with a connection to his brothers Charles or Thomas Casement. Sir Roger Casement was hung in 1916 and is a well known Irish rebel. Information welcome from anyone researching this linage.
