Mike, Last summer I was researching the Taunton CASWELLs at the NEHGS and on pages 20-21, of The Mayflower Descendant Vol. 37 No. 1 January 1987, I quote George Sanborn's article: "The records of birth of the children of Samuel2 Caswell do not appear on record. As his estate was apparently never probated, and his deeds only name his sons, authority for the following daughters' names rests with Edward Alexis Caswell, "Genealogy of the Samuel Caswell branch of the descendants of Thomas Caswell,: a typescript, completed in 1901, and deposited at the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston. The compiler was a great-great-great-grandson of Samuel2 Caswell, and may have had access to family records. Later, writers seem to have copied his list of children of Samuel2 Caswell without question." I then practically turned the NEHGS upside down looking in vain for these deposited records. I then wrote subsequently to George Sanborn to inquire further about these records, but my letter was never answered. I noted that there was a George Sanborn listed with a e-mail address for workers doing Taunton Caswell research. If indeed he is the same person who's research is quoted above, maybe he will be kind enough to respond now, so that we all can benefit from those illusive documents. Hopefully, Phil Baltzer
