Jedediah Caswell s. of Nathan and Hannah (Bingham) Caswell
BIRTH: 1776 NH, Grafton Co., Littleton
Jedediah Caswell, July 24, 1776, born on the Fort Northumberland, NH [unable
to locate area]
I suspect the location would more closely read.....
the Fort, Northumberland, NH........Northumberland is a township in Coös
County [northern most county in the state] .....some maps do not show the
village of Northumberland, but do show the village of Groveton in the
township of Northumberland.

Keep in mind these births 'may' have occurred elsewhere and been recorded
in Concord (Lisbon)
A word of caution, this location may very well be present day Lisbon,
Grafton County, New Hampshire....at one time Lisbon was named Concord.
I believe the transcribers at LDS made a error in ascribing all birth
records for Concord, NH to present day Concord, Merrimack County, New
Hampshire when the extractions were done.
