Do you know the name of the cemetery Electa is buried at? I will be going to Jasper Co, MO near the end of Feb. If you like I can do a little scouting for you. Still trying to find where my Clarence Caswell is buried. He lived in Newton Co, MO, which is just south of Jasper. The Bigham Funeral records in Neosho, MO, state that he died in Neosho and was buried in Buckner, Jackson Co., MO (over 200 miles north of Neosho), but I have yet to find him there. Let me know.

I, too, have Caswells in NY in the late1700s/early 1800s - but I'm not sure where! I have hit the veritable "brick wall" after several years of searching. Here's the short version of the story: My gg-grandmother, Electa Jane Caswell was born 11 Mar 1821, somewhere in NY state. She married Justus Hall, Jr. in La Grange Co., IN on 8 Apr 1838. I do not know for sure who her father was, but I suspect it was a Joseph Caswell who was bought land, and settled in La Grange Co. in the mid-1830s. Electa and Justus Jr. moved to Bureau Co., IL before the 1840 census. There is a Joseph Caswell also listed on that census, who is between the age of 40-50. In addition, he is listed as an early settler of Bureau Co., and was elected Justice of the Peace during the 1840s. After 1846, he drops from the record. I have searched the NY 1820 census records, and found only one Joseph Caswell household with a male the right age to be the above mentioned Joseph Caswell. It is in Jersey Twp., Steuben Co., NY. There is another Joseph Caswell household in Exeter Twp., Otsego Co. Of course, if Joseph IS Electa's father, he and his wife might still have been living with his parents or his wife's parents when Electa was born in 1820. But I do not know Joseph's father's name. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cheryl F. Luginbill timetraveler@apex2000.net

This info is definitely correct: I have the marriage, and birth certs for Charity and Ebenezer (along with all of their children) Unforunately there is no maiden name listed for Elizabeth on Charity's birth certificate. Also, the date on her gravestone match the ones on the certificate which lists her parents as Job and Elizabeth. Too bad Job and Elizabeth weren't buried right there as Noah and Rachel are buried on the other side of Ebenezer along with most of thier children and the children's spouses.

I have just looked at the LDS Ancestral File for the Taunton Ma line, and here is the printout of the beginnings of that line. Somerset & Herefordshire are both counties in the UK, so I really wonder how accurate this info is. I don't think we can even begin to think that the Taunton Ma line comes from Thos Caswell & Ellen Bothworth. perhaps someone just guessed this! Richard CASWELL Born: 16OO Sex:M AFN:G7K2-76 Somerset, Leomaster, Herefordshire, Eng Mar.: 9 Feb 1618 St.Michael, Cornhill, London, Engl Died: Father: Thomas CASWELL Mother: Ellen BOTHWORTH Spouse: Mary SLANY LDS ORDINANCE DATA B: 15 Nov 1963 SLAKE SS: Submitted E: 31 Jan 1964 SLAKE SP: SUBMITTED Another entry with the same type of mistake:- Thomas CASWELL Born: 2O Oct 1618 Sex:M AFN:8JLL-N5 Somerset, Leomaster, Herefordshire, Eng Mar.: 1646 Died: 9 Oct 1697 Taunton, Bristol Co., MA Father: Richard CASWELL Mother: Mary SLANY Spouse: Ann LDS ORDINANCE DATA B: 5 Nov 1952 SS: 7 Jun 1955 SG E: 25 Feb 1955 SP: SUBMITTED Unless you know better!

Some info:- National Archives of Ireland James Caswell Tried at Co Tyrone 03 1837 For feloniously and maliciously killing a sheep Transported for life to Australia -commuted to 6 months imprisonment. CRF 1837 C174 William Meehan Tried at Ennis For firing a gun with intent to murder Trans for life CRF 1844 M14 Prisoner was convicted of firing at James Crotty in Bradford.He was seeking employment in the BLACKWATER area. His previous employer was John Waters. of Newport Co Tipperary. Prisone had sought employment with SAMUEL CASWELL a merchant in Limerick, before going to Blactwater. Would someone please add this to their Irish Kazzy records.
