After reading the letter from Gertrude Caswell Kimzy about Benjamin's
Franklin Caswell that was born May 22, 1828 in MA and then later lived in
Georgia Heard County ...family I don't think that he was married before
after carefully reading her letter. However, there is something missing as
to who Benjamin Franklin's parents were. I'm looking at the letter and
Gertrude lists the children of Benjamin and Charity Ann Jackson Caswell's.
She also lists the children of Benjamin Franklin Caswell's oldest son...Noah
Thomas Caswell who married Martha Jane Crouch in Alabama. (the
grandchildren of Benjamin Franklin Caswell and Charity Ann Jackson Caswell
through their oldest son Noah Thomas Caswell) They are...
George Thomas Caswell born Feb. 9, 1875 died Sept. 18, 1961
Frenchie Beatrice Caswell born Jan. 21, 1877 died March 29, 1965
Alma L. Caswell born April 30, 1878 died Sept. 5, 1932
Cora Lee Caswell born Nov. 17, 1882 died Oct. 13, 1883
Benjamin Franklin Caswell born Dec. 13, 1883 died Sept. 4, 1937
Noah Zacharias Caswell born April 22, 1886 died April 15, 1965
All of these lived in Alabama.
Gertrude also lists some O' Neals. The daughter of Benjamin Franklin Caswell
and Charity Ann Caswell that was named Ida Lavina Caswell married Jack A.
O'Neal. She lsits all of them.
Maybe there's a way that we can get this letter copied and on file so that
we can send this ot to the lists. This may help us to piece some things
together for some folks.
Janey is correct when she says that our Benjamin Franklin Caswell was not
married before he married Charity Ann Jackson. I was wondering if it could
be possible due to the fact that we have not found certain information about
Ben's parents.
