Mike (and anyone else interested),
The book you received from Noreen Haler was a draft copy I had sent to her for
all the help she gave me when I started on this project. The book hasn't
actually been published yet and I expect the copy you have is a couple years
out of date. I am still in the process of gathering information about the
descendants of Job Caswell of Newport, RI, and still have lots more to gather.
I currently have 400 pages of information on over 700 families descended from
Job.
The information about Deborah Bowker you mentioned was taken directly from
George Sanborn's Caswell family information in the Mayflower Descendant
magazine of July 1988, page 128. I only included it to show the connection of
my Job to the Taunton line (Timothy was Job's brother). The Mayflower
Descendant article doesn't have much more on that line. It mentions that
Timothy and Deborah had 2 children; Ezekiel born 17 Oct. 1725, and Job born
about 1730. No more info on either child.
The copy of my work that you saw was created in WordPerfect. It has since
then been converted to Microsoft Word. I tried creating printouts from
numerous genealogy programs but never found one that came out just the way I
wanted it. The format is roughly based on a report from a shareware program
called Brothers Keeper.
There are currently similar draft copies in the Newport, RI, Historical
Society Library; the RI Historical Society Library in Providence, and NEHGR
Library in Boston.

and found a book on the Caswell family of Rhode Island & Taunton Ma.
written by Bill S Caswell.
In it there is a Timothy Caswell mentioned on p 3 who married Deborah
Bowker on 15 apr 1723. I thought this may be of interest to Lou Ann Walker
who has a Tim in her line.
This book is extremely well done. I'd love to know which computer program
Bill used.
