Hi Jenny
The picture that you have of the original Casper CABLE's son, how does he look? His
complexion? His features?
We have a picture of his grandson (John B s/o Samuel) my ancestor, and John B appears very
dark - although married to a clearly fair skinned woman.
I have been told that Elizabeth Baker's (married to the original Casper) father
(Daniel Baker married to Mary) came from the Bakers who were Black Dutch and supposedly
mixed race with Indian.
John B (Casper and Elizabeth's grandson) clearly could be this Black Dutch. I am
curious to see if the children of Casper and Elizabeth were also dark skinned, which may
confirm the Black Dutch story.
Please advise. Thanks
Judy
