Jane Montgomery Casey, Part 2 John Stuekerjuergen, a historian originally from West Point, Iowa, shared this series with Columbia Magazine at the suggestion of the late, great Phil Hanna. The recent announcement of the Phil Hanna Cultural Affairs Series at Lindsey Wilson seemed to make it a good week to publish Phil's last recommendation to CM. By John Stuekerjuergen Mark Twain's Great Grandmother Served as Family Matriarch & Role Model in Kentucky, Conquered the Kentucky Frontier before coming to West Point, Iowa. Meeting her future husband: Before the fateful Indian attack in 1781, Jane and her parents and siblings lived for a time at Logan's Station on the frontier of east central Kentucky. While there, Jane met William Casey (1754-1816) who, like Jane, had moved westward from Virginia. Following the Indian attack, Casey was one of the men who pursued the Indians and came to the aid of the Montgomery family. Apparently, Jane and William developed a mutual attraction as, several months after the family tragedy, they were married. The couple first settled in the Logan's Station area, and had four children there: Margaret "Peggy" Casey; Martha "Polly" Casey; Jane "Jenny" Casey; and Annie Casey. Margaret would marry Benjamin Lampton and become the maternal grandmother of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). Polly would marry John Creel. Jenny Casey would marry Robert Paxton, who died of disease after the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Annie Casey would marry her cousin, John Montgomery.
