Hi there Scott -- Did you receive a satisfactory response to your posting of 29 May 1998? For reference, I've tacked relevant portions to the end of this note. My darned email software sent it to a truly strange folder. It didn't pop up until this morning during some routine housekeeping. If this is redundant, please accept my apologies. The family of John and Hannah (HOAR) CASWELL is, indeed, one of those in my dataBase. Following is the ancestry you requested. Numbering is Ahnentafel system. Numbers in parentheses merely separate folks in my dataBase with otherwise identical names -- in particularly nasty cases I use the birthyear or an approximation if it so the entries line up in chronological order in lists. ****PEDIGREE OF JONATHAN CASWELL**** 1 Jonathan Caswell (1721), b. 10 Mar 1721, d. 23 Feb 1725 2 Lieutenant John Caswell (1690), b. 17 Jul 1690 at Taunton, Massachusetts, m.
