    3. TO ALL listers with this name OR CONNECTIONS to same Am seeking persons with the SURNAME / CAUSTON, or ANY variations of this spelling. I have 3 specific connections to this name which I list below. HOWEVER,THE CAUSTONs HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO GROUP -SO FAR-- ..I have put togethetr a Chronological List dating from 1650--to1829 and am using that to put together ANY SORT of family groupings. This list is 5 PAGES long! and there still is no "SHAPE" to tie these individuals into groups.I do NOT know where they came from except in the there are some in the Greenwich, CT. area.: The name could be French and there are ties to the New Rochelle area. Some became QUAKER,also ,but some are found in militia in the FR. and Indian Wars [CT.] and in Canada during the REV,WAR So those were not Quaker. Here are the place-names so far......Eastchester in Westchester Co,; QUAKER HILL, Duchess CO.... New Rochelle... Duchess Co,... Greenwich TWP.,Fairfield CO.,CT. and New Milford, Litchfield CO.,CT;....Clinton, Duchess.... Kingston,ULSTER CO.-1722-1819......New Brunswick,Canada.....New York City.....Martha C. -- from PURCHASE MO.Meeting to Creek MO.Meet.....
