I am posting this query for Jesse Cason who is now 90 years of age and lives
in Texas. At this time in his life he is not comfortable tackling the
computer, but has been searching for many years for the parents of his Benjamin
Cason. This is what we know:
Benjamin Cason born ca 1788 in South Carolina. He was on the census in 1840
and 1850 Meriwether Co., Georgia and 1860 Polk Co., Georgia. His wife is
Sarah (maiden name unknown) born ca 1798 in Georgia. His known children are Elihu
born ca 1826 in S.C., Jane born ca 1829 in Georgia, Benjamin born ca. 1830 in
Georgia and Frances born ca 1833 in Georgia.
Have no information on Jane or Benjamin, Elihu was in Dallas Co., Texas by
1880 and many of his descendants are in Dallas Co. now. Frances married John
Mason and I believe she died in Polk Co., Georgia before 1880.
In 1850 Larkin Cason born ca 1776 is visiting in the home of Benjamin. This
leads me to believe he was a brother or cousin to Benjamin. Fairly certain
this is the Larkin Cason that married Mary Moseley and lived in Abbeville Co.,
S.C. In 1850 Mary is with her granddaughter in Abbeville.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
