I don't know if you know this information or not but
back in 1993 on Fido (before the Internet) a June Feder
wrote me this info about Caswell. My Charles W Caswell
was from New York state somewhere and moved to Illinois
so I don't believe I am connected to these Caswells but
looks like you are. Anyway here is what she wrote me.
If you ever get the Caswell line back a ways, you may
be interested to know that there are a bunch of
Caswells buried in the little Caswell Cemetery on Star
Island, NH. I may have written down the names
somewhere, sometime, but have no idea where they'd be.
In fact, I just received a couple of old newspaper
clippings about Star Island. The "Portsmouth Press" of
July 30, 1992 shows a photo of 3 of the gravestones:
Joseph M. Caswell, died Sept 21 1862, aged 62 years.
Sally B., widow (?) of Joseph M. Caswell, died Jan. 12,
1871, aged 69 years. Also Lydia L., wife of Moses
Steven, died May 1, 1850, aged 25 (or 27?) years, 6
mos. (Not too easy to read the numbers in the
newsprint!) Another article in the "Seacoast Times," on
August 15, 1993, p. 15, re Capt. Bob Whittaker, says,
"...a woman from Minneapolis took his Star Island tour,
ending her two-year genealogical quest in tears at
seeing her family's American beginnings." That was in
1987. Too bad it doesn't mention her name!
BTW, Star Island is 10 miles from Portsmouth, NH in the
Isles of Shoals. The islands were settled by fishermen
very early on.

Another voice from Maine! Way up near Portland.
I trace to the Caswells of Gosport, Isles of Shoals. I
understand there is
library on the Island that has lots Caswell family
info but I never have
been out. Maybe next summer??
I was told my line came to mainland at the time of
Revaluation and floated
their home to Kittery.
Here is what I have on early Caswell family. There was
another Caswell
family in Portsmouth at this time but have not been
able to tie to it or to
the large family in MA.
Merry Christmas to all.
