Searching for Edward CARSWELL (b.ca. 1798) m. Mahala ?,(b. ca, 1804),
who had a son, Mathew(b.ca.1835) all this info according to the US Fed.
Census 1860 GA, Crawford co.,USA
Mathew m. Harriet ?, b.ca.1843 at the time(June 1860) they were living
with Edward and Mahala.
I am trying to find the connection between this CARSWELL line that
comes down to Kenneth Edward CARSWELL , b. October 17, 1903, Musella,
Crawford co, GA, USA. d. February 11, 1987, Macon, Bibb Co., GA, USA.
My Dad's maternal Aunt Gertrude LINDSEY m. James Alexander CARSWELL(
but I can't make the connection of the two CARSWELL lines ...so far!
My Dad always said that Peggy CARSWELL, Kenneth's daughter, and I were
Cousins but he never explained the connection.....:-(

(Don't be confused by the two different spellings of Mathew/Matthew as
each Fed. Census spelled it differently!)
***********
As you see the Mathew in Aunt Gertrudes Carwell line has a different
wife, Sara MARTIN...I have found no data or heard any oral history that
gives Mathew two wives..Therefore I'm thinking there is more than ONE
Mathew involved here....but can't be sure!
I'm hoping someone on the List can give me a shortcut!
Any help with my CARSWELL brickwall would be 'preciated!
