This Cason line is confusing! I am not sure Jehew was the father.
1860 Census
Jehew Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 42 abt 1818 South Carolina
Sarah Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 34 abt 1826 Georgia
Lucy A Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 16 abt 1844 Georgia
Andrew W Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 14 abt 1846 Alabama
Theodore J Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 12 abt 1848 Georgia
Sarah E Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 9 abt 1851 Alabama
Caly f Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 7 abt 1853 Alabama
Oscar F Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 5 abt 1855 Alabama
William Cason Western Division, Tallapoosa, AL 9.12 abt 1859 Alabama
==================
1880 Census Atkinsons, Barbour, Alabama T9-0003 321C
Sarah A. CASON Self W Female W 55 GA Farming GA NC
Oscar F. CASON Son S Male W 23 AL Labors In Farm SC GA
Elizabeth CASON Dau S Female W 28 AL Labors In Farm SC GA
Daniel SHIREY Other S Male W 19 GA Labors In Farm SC SC
William SHEPPARD Son S Male W 20 AL Labors In Farm SC GA
==========
Lucy Ann Cason married Simeon Segars in Early Co., GA.
Anderson W Cason married Sarah Jane Joiner also in Early
Co., GA. What is confusing is that Teodore J, and William
and at least one of the daughters were not Casons at all they
were Sheppards.
I believe I have found Sarah Cason in 1870 Barbour, Alabama but none of the kids are
with her. Then in 1880
Oscar Foy Cason (son) , Sarah Elizabeth Cason (son), and William Sheppard (son), are
living with her and the Daniel Shirey is "no relation".
So Sarah (unknow maiden name) had a Cason child in
about 1844, then another in 1845, followed by a Sheppard
child in @ 1848, then a Cason child in @ 1851, then Caly
who I believe was a Sheppard, Oscar a Cason, and William a Sheppard.
So I am unsure who of Andrew (or Anderson) W. Cason's father was.
Sarah Jane Joiner was the daughter of Wiley Joiner and Sarah
Ann Harris. Sarah Ann was a sister to Hilliard Harris and an
Aunt of Steven Harris that was enumerated beside Andrew Cason on Census.
