WELCOME!
It is very seldom I get an American CASWELL line that can actually boast
that they originate from England.
My first question is:-
why do you think they originated from WALES?
Why have you 2 dates for Thomas's birth (1829-1835)
I have checked my database - and - unfortunately - can find no relevent
Thomas. That does not mean to say there is none! We have dozens of Thomas's
in the Wilts database.
I tried all the children you mentioned in my Wilts database and came up
blank. SO, at least we are now fairly sure that your 'lot' didn't come from
Wiltshire
Lets really go at this link, folks. It could bring us much nearer to finding
ALL our connections!
Has anyone downloaded the complete IGI Caswell file for the UK?
Any volunteers, please?
Can you please make a GEDCOM file of your line, and I will include it in the
CASWELL webpage.

Comments: Looking for origins of Thomas (or Henry - brothers) Caswell, born
in
England (Wales?) 1829 (1835), and emigrated to U.S. to Eastern
Pennsylvania (Wayne and Luzerne Counties). Thomas first married Anna Mason
b. 1833 who was alive until at least 1869 when she had their last child
George. I think they divorced. He remarried to Mary E. (unk) and they had
at least two sons: Samuel L., b. 1878, and Davie John born Feb. 1880.
Thomas and Anna had 7 children listed on the 1870 census. These were born
in
England (Wales?): Elizabeth/1855; Mary A./1857; Ellen/1859; Arthur/Aug.
1862. These were born in Pennsylvania: William/1865; Adeline (my ggm)/18
Apr. 1866; George/1969.
Brother Henry had two children but no spouse with him when the census
reported him
as living in the same household with Thomas: Anne E./1858;
George T./1860, both born in England (WALES?). I have some other details
and know where Adeline went, but do not have any knowledge further back than
their arrival in PA.
Am I the only Pennsylvania Caswell descendant?
