I have a pretty extensive data base on many Cason's. I also have the book "Cason
Cousins" by Tom Cason formerly of Batesville, Arkansas. Nowhere do I find any
information about a Stephen/Steven Cason. Odd!!
Quite a few years ago I was able to get the extensvie genealogy done by a woman in
Arkansas. She descended from Andrew Burton Cason.It is the most comprehensive I have
found
I have visited Furneaux-Pelham in Hertfordshire England. The little church there contains
the crypt of Edmund/Edward Cason and his wife. A plaque hung on the wall memorializing
him.I believe, but have no proof that Thomas Cason of Cambridgeshire (not too far from
Hertifordshire) was the Father of this Edmund/Edward
John Cason, Grocer was an investor in the Second Virginia Company. Family from London came
to the Jamestown, VA area in the 1600's. They then spread all over Virginia and some
wound up in Anson County, N. C. Then they spread from there. My husband descended from
Mary Webb Cason of Anson County.
I will gladly email you my husband's genealogy as I have it if you are interested
Happy hunting and good luck with it. Marlynn
