Friends,
Because of the coincidence of the dates, I suspect that the Benjamin
Casterline buried in Kings Cemetery in Ithaca, NY is the same Benjamin
Casterline, s/o Francis Jr born in NJ. He was born 1750.
James Bates s/o Stephen married Anne Casterline (Tompkins County, NY) and
they are evidently heirs of Benjamin's, named in a deed.
Alexander King s/o Francis King and Mary Jones married Rachel Casterline.
She was born 26 November 1803. I've seen her parents listed as Joseph
Casterline and Margaret Atkinson. My notes indicate that she had a sister
Clara (Clarissa) who married Francis King Howland.
Can anyone help me solve the Bates/Casterline riddle?
Who are these people?
Who is Benjamin?
Thanks for any help or leads anyone can offer.
