Would like any information regarding a Michael and John CASLER OR CASTLER, KESSLER. Michael acquire a land grant from a Lord Fairfax agent in 1765 on Sir John's Run in an area near what is now Berkeley Springs, WVA. Michael died in Hampshire County, VA in 1810. He may have been born in Germany and arrived in Philadelphia in 1748 on the ship Patience. Thank you. Marilyn Casler Riesbol, Santa Maria, California

I, too, am interested in Michael Casler who died in 1810 in Hampshire County. Three of his grandchildren, through his son John S. Kesler, married Kerns in Hampshire/Morgan Counties. I have a copy of John's 1854 will (Morgan County) and a rough family group sheet with his children and their spouses named from both of John's marriages. Evidently, you descend from one of John's eight sons. Perhaps we should communicate privately. My email address is wkerns4@comcast.net Wilmer L.
