Message Board Post:
As a subscriber to the CASON rootsweb list, I've been reading these messages with
interest. Perhaps it would be helpful for someone with extensive experience researching
these families to provide a primer of sorts of the Casons from this time to differentiate
between the Roger Cason family and the other families so that those of us who are less
experienced can more easily identify where we belong.
For the record, I'm descended from Thomas Cason, b. 1759, and Margaret Neill, b. 1762,
who left SC for Indiana in the early 1810s. There has been much speculation on who
Thomas's father and ancestors were, but I've not been convinced these have been
determined with any certainty.
And if anyone knows of any details of the Neill family in SC at that time (beyond what is
stated in the Boone Co., IN, histories), I'm all ears.
