 5.Sr. Rose Casey16 (c 1852 - )
Her married name was Casey (both spouses named Casey.) 
The marriage index gives her name as Teresa Casey. It is almost certain that she is Theresa Haefener, widow of Andrew Casey. In the 1850 census she and John H Casey were enumerated as family 1083, immediately followed by family 1084 of Valentine and Priscilla Haefner (her probable parents). Her first daughter was named Priscilla (as her first son was named George Walter after John's father). The last will of "Teresa Casey" written in 1864 mentions her father Valentine Haefner and a daughter Teresa Rose. By German naming conventions it would not be unusual to have a formal given name followed by a "call name" for ordinary usage. This seems to be the case with Teresa in the 1860 census where the wife of John H Casey is Margaret T.3
