Editor’s Note: As with most of the other families, a Canavan ancestor looms large for the Casey Families and their offshoots. In the top tree above, we see our progenitor Anthony Canavan, Sr. He was one of the nine children of Anthony Canavan and Catherine Kirby. In that tree we also see Anthony Canavan, Sr. and his wife Ann Hughes had 11 children who survived to adulthood, one of whom was Margaret Elizabeth Canavan (the lady in blue, as it were).
John Dominic and Margaret Canavan Casey had two children. Mary Catherine Casey, known as Catherine, was born May 22, 1900, in Chicago. Mary Catherine died on August 9, 1982, at the age of 82. Her namesake brother John Dominic Casey was born in Chicago on February 15, 1907 and died on April 16, 1989, at the age of 82.
