Hi Amber and List, I was trying to do too many things at once and hit send before the email was finished. It was meant to thank "ethelind@earthlink.net" for the following info: <<<<The 1850 census for Taunton has: Elijah J. Caswell, 41, nailor, b. MA Elizabeth S. (or L.) ", 35, b. MA Elizabeth P. :, 1, b. MA Elijah ", 73, b. MA Middleboro(ugh) has Elijah Caswell, 45, shovel maker, b. MA Eunice R. ", 41, b. MA Otis W. ", 21, laborer Barbara ", 20 Lucinda M. ", 19 Elijah Jr ", 17, laborer William H. ", 15, laborer Lambert O. ", 13 Horatio 2nd ", 10 Euncie R. ", 8 Harriet Z? or B ", 6 Edward A. :", 1>>>> I believe that the Middleboro Elijah was my ggg-grandfather, but he's also my brick wall. Elijah is a popular Caswell -Taunton, MA name for the early 1800s. Hopefully, I will eventually find the birth record of the one born in 1805, and yes, I'm hoping that there WAS only one born that year in the Taunton area... If anybody has any more information on my Elijah, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again, Judy Caswell
