It has come to light that Thomas 'Tom' H. Carsoner (born 5-26-1869 West Point,
Calaveras County died 12-28-1953 Sonora, Tuolumne County, CA) appears to be a descendant
of William Casner (born 1825 IA) who was murdered in 1-1877 in Palo Duro Canyon, TX.
Tom Carsoner married Rosa 'Rosie' George and they had eleven children (still need
to verify 2-3 of these). The children were:
(1) Nettie Carsoner (b.7-12-1893 Skull Flats, Calaveras Co) married Mr. Dela Vega
(2) Leula 'Lulu' Carsoner (b3-16-1897 Railroad Flat, Calaveras Co., CA)
(3)Henriett 'Etta/Annie' Carsoner (b3-15-1901 Calaveras Co., CA) married a Mr.
Fuller.
(4) Jennie Carsoner (b1903) - may have died young
(5) Ella Carsoner (b. 1905) may have died young
(6) Alice Carsoner (b.5-20-1905 Calaveras County) married #1 George Amore, and #2 Mr.
Pruitt.
(7) Dan Carsoner (b.4-25-1909 Sheep Ranch, Calaveras County, CA)
(8) Elbert Carsoner (b.6-1909) either died young or is the same person as #7.
(9)Bessie L. Carsoner (b.12-17-1909 Calaveras County) married a Mr. Duncan
(10) Mary L. Carsoner (b.11-7-1913) married a Mr. Cox
(11) Unknown Male Infant) born 1914 died 12-12-1918) - have found a death notice of this
ifant; name not given; may be Elbert Carsoner in #8 above.
This family left many descendants in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties and other counties in
California. I would like to make contact with descendants in order to clarify some of the
ancestry and the identify of the children.
I have extensive information on the family of William Casner and his 12 brothers and 1
sister that I am willing to share with persons connected to this line.
