Lucy Caswell/Briggs married Benjamin Scofield in Cayuhoga Co. in June of
1839. Two of her sons also married there. One was my great grandfather,
Lorenzo Franklin Briggs (listed on the marriage records as Franklin). I
don't know exactly when her first husband, Peleg Briggs, drowned. Lucy
was born in Rochester, MA, but they could be cousins. A lot of Briggs'
moved over there also from Vermont where Lucy lived with her first husband.

When did your Lucy Caswell Briggs move to Cuyahoga County, Ohio and where
did
she live?
My Caswells, Oliver A (b 17 Sept 1801 Jamestown, RI, m 30 May 1822 Hannah
Clark in Lebanon, Conn., d 10 Sept 1864 Lorraine, County, Ohio) came to
Cuyahoga County in 1833 from Conn. and lived in Berea. His brother Phillip
Andrew Caswell (b 19 Nov 1808 Jamestown, RI d 29 Oct 1869 Berea, Ohio) came
to Berea in 1843 from Venango, County, Penna. Could these families have
been
related?
I have just recently purchased the family bible of Oliver A. Caswell from
an
estate in Wisconsin and should receive it this week. Ostensibly there
are
over 40 birth, death and marriage records. Will be happy to share these
records with any Caswell Cousins.
