It has come to light that Thomas 'Tom' H. Carsoner (born 5-26-1869 West Point, Calaveras County died 12-28-1953 Sonora, Tuolumne County, CA) appears to be a descendant of William Casner (born 1825 IA) who was murdered in 1-1877 in Palo Duro Canyon, TX. Tom Carsoner married Rosa 'Rosie' George and they had eleven children (still need to verify 2-3 of these). The children were: (1) Nettie Carsoner (b.7-12-1893 Skull Flats, Calaveras Co) married Mr. Dela Vega (2) Leula 'Lulu' Carsoner (b3-16-1897 Railroad Flat, Calaveras Co., CA) (3)Henriett 'Etta/Annie' Carsoner (b3-15-1901 Calaveras Co., CA) married a Mr. Fuller. (4) Jennie Carsoner (b1903) - may have died young (5) Ella Carsoner (b. 1905) may have died young (6) Alice Carsoner (b.5-20-1905 Calaveras County) married #1 George Amore, and #2 Mr. Pruitt. (7) Dan Carsoner (b.4-25-1909 Sheep Ranch, Calaveras County, CA) (8) Elbert Carsoner (b.6-1909) either died young or is the same person as #7. (9)Bessie L. Carsoner (b.12-17-1909 Calaveras County) married a Mr. Duncan (10) Mary L. Carsoner (b.11-7-1913) married a Mr. Cox (11) Unknown Male Infant) born 1914 died 12-12-1918) - have found a death notice of this ifant; name not given; may be Elbert Carsoner in #8 above. This family left many descendants in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties and other counties in California. I would like to make contact with descendants in order to clarify some of the ancestry and the identify of the children. I have extensive information on the family of William Casner and his 12 brothers and 1 sister that I am willing to share with persons connected to this line.
