Hello List:
For some time I have been researching the CASNER/CARSNER surname in OR
and have collected quite a bit of information. Basically, I am
researching the family of Henry Casner and Jincy Jane Fields Casner who
were married in 1822 in Ray Co., MO. They went to IA where he died in
1847 in Marion County. Jincy and the remainder of her family went to OR
where she obtained a donation land claim in 1860. She had somewhere
between 11-14 children. Her only daughter was Nancy Jane Casner who
married Harvey Fields; they settled in Grant Co. It seems some of the
Casner brothers had a falling out; the ones who remained in OR
supposedly changed the name to CARSNER. Those that went to AZ in 1875
kept CASNER.
I have considerable information on this family but still have a few
gaps. Am interested in communicating with anyone researching this
family.
