In addition to the information mentioned by Gayle, I have a Casselton B. Harper b. 1799 GA, m. Mary ? b. 1801 VA, with the following children: Nancy 1823, Harriet 1825, James 1829, William 1832, Angeline 1834, Mary 1836, Sarah 1842, and Eliza 1844. There is also a Castleton Harper b. 1715 Albemarle Co., VA, m. ???, with the following children: Henry, Richard, and Castleton Jr. b. 1749 that married Mary ? and had two children Sara Moore and Charter. I have no "Caswells" other than those mentioned by Gayle. The above birthdates are a bit early, but may help in finding a connection.
