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.

I think everyone is off doing their Christmas shopping. I also live
in
Maine. Well Eliot, Maine, some think that's a suberb of Portsmouth, NH
and
not really in Maine. At least the Governor thinks otherwise, since I
send
money to Augusta every year.
I'm descended from Robert Caswell of Gosport, Isles of Shoals, NH, abt
1730.
That's as far back as I've seen info from a cousin (Mark) in
CT.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all,
David Caswell

Hi Cheryl, welcome to the list! I am originally from CT but living in
Maine
now (and loving it!) My Caswell's are all rooted in MA going
back to
Thomas. I would love to hear some chatter, everyone is so quiet lately!
