    3. Thaanks so much for info on Martins children. Im researching his son William of Pitt,Craven, and Lenoir. The will of Elizabeth Harrison Murphrey of Dobbs was made 25 Oct.1788. In it she leaves "the track of woodlands at Sandy Bottom" to her daughter Nancy Caswell.That land was the same land Wm. Caswell was living on in 1830 and 40,according to Russell King a noted genealogist of Kinston (compiler of Lenoir Co censuses.Also, in the Quarterly Review of E.Carolina Gen. Soc. Vol.4 there are Murphrey notes listing the children of John and Elizabeth Murphrey; Daughter Nan (called Ann in some records)m.Martin Caswell. I'm quoting. So I'm sure that the mystery is now solved as to Martins wife. There are also letters of Gale Murphrey,a sister of Nancy, which refer to "sister caswell" and mention Dick (Gov) Caswell.Dated 1770. Finally,we know who brothers Ben and Samuel married. Hope this is of interest. Their son Wm was in Pitt by 1810-age 26-45;so had to be born later than 1762.I have him born in 1780,very late in the marriage, but no records to prove this.Anybody know abt. Wm-wife or children? Happy to share-Clair Hadley clairhadley@erols.com
