Don't know why my Casons landed in Muscogee....."Cap" Cason, my great
grandfather, told his family that they left the Atlanta area during the civil war, when
Atlanta was burning. Blamed that on Gen. Sherman. He was just a small boy, rode on the
back of their wagon as they left. His father was John, will have to check to see maiden
name of his mom, but her family was in Muscogee also. There are a lot of Casons in
Alabama, assume most came over from Georgia after the civil war.....Foundries were hiring
and that's where they got jobs. The steel mills sprang up and they hired a lot of men
also!
