10 April 2018- Family sources relate that James Casey captained, or served on a steamboat prior to his settlement in NE and CO. It also was thought he was married prior to his marriage to Emily Denmead, as I suspected from his age at the time of their marriage.

Interesting note: * In a draft registration for WWI, 1917-1918 - Platte, Polk, Red Willow, Richardson counties, Nebraska, a Matthew Denmead is listed as born 25 October 1894, Cambridge, Nebraska, and again for WWII, 27 April 1942, Matthew registered for the draft, listing residence as Wiggins, Morgan County, Colorado, and giving Mrs. Emily Casey of Ft. Morgan, Colorado, as relative. In a 1930 Census a Mattaw (mis-reading for Matthew, I believe) was shown in Weldona, Morgan, Colorado, born in 1897 of mother and father born in England. Matthew Denmead died in 1977.

10 April 2018- Family relates that Matthew Denmead and Emily Denmead were half brother and sister, and that there was another half-sister named Florence Denmead. This would suggest a prior marriage for Edwin (Edward?) Denmead. There was no mention of Emma or Ellen Denmead, so may be some conflation between families. Discovered from family sources that many records were destroyed in Nebraska during the Civil War, hence the difficulty of locating source material.
