Hi Doris. Read your post to Caswell list re Zephaniah Caswell. Any specifics on this fellow? That's the first Zephaniah Caswell I've heard of, other than one Zephaniah Caswell (b. 1773) who died of a fever at Belchertown, Hampshire Co. MA on Aug 24 1796 leaving one wife and two children (all unnamed), per Stone Church Society records there. Maybe, the young widow Caswell took her kids, remarried, and went to Cattaraugus County.
