I was trying to help a friend with her genealogy and
found this information and thought it might help
someone with Canadian Caswells.

Notes: Caswell describes his move from Ontario to
Assiniboia in 1883 to get a free homestead. Although
most of his autobiography pertains to his homestead, he

to the troops.
