Thank you so much. I never thought about him being adopted. Makes you wonder
about why and what happened to his parents. He was married in Cincinati in
1822.
One source I have seen shows their daughter Margaret Indiana Caswell being
born in Lawerenceburg, Deaborn County Indiana and another shows her being born
in Boston.
She married Joseph Adams Hall from Boston.
Thank you again for the information and I will join the Ohio list. At some
point they all moved to New Orleans and Daniel and Mary died there. Margaret
remarried after the death of Joepsh and died in Pike Co. MS

I am looking for information on Daneil Julius Caswell who married Mary
Bankhead Wilson in Ohio May 1822. I think he ws born in Kent CT in
1791. They lived in Indiana for a while and moved to New Orleans LA,
where they both died. One thing I found showed his father being Daniel
Johnson and grandfather Moses Johnson of Linchfield Co Connecticut. I
don't want to chase down the Johnson line if this is not his family.

Okay Delores this is what is recorded in the Kent, Litchfield County, CT
town records vol 2 p.218 & 1/2
CASWELL, Daniel J., s. Daniel & Currance Johnson b. Jan. 31, 1791; in Feb.
1795 was adopted by Julius Caswell & w. Amy
for the marriage record, do you at least have a county in OH? I might be
able to get you more info there. I would subscribe to the OH-Rooters list
they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, someone there can more than
likely find something for you.
