Searching for information on Roswell Castle born about 1780, married Roxana Hartwell in
Castleton, VT on April 2, 1802. Since my last query I am even more convinced that Roswell
did not leave Vermont after the death of Roxana in 1819. Roswell has been found in the
1820 Rutland, VT census as Roswill Caswell with his children and a female between age of
26-46, perhaps a housekeeper. It appears the Castle and Caswell name are interchangeable.
This branch of the Castle family appears to have had little or no research done, and it is
an exciting group to follow. This is where I need help, I can not find Roswell before 1802
or after the 1820 census in Vermont. Perhaps he died between the 1820-1830 census, but I
would really like to find his parents.
According to the Hartwell genealogy he was born in Connecticut, but if he was I can not
find any records to prove it. I have also looked in New York because that is where Roxana
was born.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
