Searching for information on Samuel CASWELL, born about 1769, who was living
at Belchertown MA when he married 1st 1793 to Ruth Frick. Children (1)
Abagail b. 4-21-1796 (2) Eliza b. 6-20-1801, married 1st to Daniel Ashley,
second David A. Cadwell. (3) Worthy b 6-21-1798. Wife Ruth d. 9-26-1806 age
31 at Springfield MA. Samuel CASWELL m. 2nd Martha (Patty) Pease, b abt.
1788, and lived Springfield MA. At least 2 children: (1) Martha Pease b.
3-20-1811 m. William Simeon Huntoon. Lived Providence RI until her death in
1894 and (2) an infant child who died 7-22-1816. Patty died in Springfield
on 3-1-1821 at age of 43. Samuel died March 1823 a.e. 54. The Caswell family
had connection with before Samuel. Two books on the history of the town say
that in 1727 one John CASWELL bought a 1/6th interest in the area from the
State of Connecticut--which had the rights to it acquired in a land swap
between Massachusetts and Connecticut. He was one of 6 Boston residents in
this. It was platted by Timothy Dwight, one of the town founders. I can find
no mention at all of John Caswell in the Belchertown family records I
reviewed (after 1765), but much of it was too faded to read. There is no
mention that this John CASWELL ever went to Belchertown.
