alas ! that Elijah's ancestry is documented. of note a grandson of the
Elijah Caswell in question (1751-1821) also has a line to the Brewster
family thru the Freemans.
The Elijah Caswell (1751-1821) m. Mercy Seekins of Raynham in 1776. Elijah
d. at Dartmouth - which oddly is where the children of the older Elijah
Caswell
migrated to.
According to the conventions of the times - perhaps a sibling of the older
Elijah named a son after his brother.
Elijah Caswell (1751-1821) was a musician by trade. After the Rev War he
resided at Kingston,Mass near Plymouth. He removed to Plymouth later and
then finally settled at Dartmouth. Elijahs children married at Taunton -
Plimpton.
Elijahs children were: Elijah,Henry,Daniel,Abiathar,Lawson,George and
Lois. all b. at Kingston it seems.
