Mary,
My name is Bill Caswell and I am the one who originally provided the
information that was submitted to
ancestry.com. I am working on a project to
identify all the descendants of Job and Lydia Caswell who lived in Newport,
RI in the 1700's. The Easton's are part of that group. At the bottom of the
message is a section from my research about this family. If you can give me
more details about where you fit in I can provide some more info. Also, I
would greatly appreciate any additions you can make to my information.
Thank you.
Bill Caswell
[Mike Caswell] This name rings a faint bell with me.

Dear Mike,
I really hope that I am not bothering you, but I have pasted
information below. Apparently the name Caswell is located in my tree. Mary
Dorcas Caswell would have been my Great Grandmother. Is she any relation to
you? I'm just trying to find my family, I was moved away from all of them,
when I was young. Thanks.
Mary
Hi Mary,
I might have found something that might help; there is a file at
www.ancestry.com submitted by: mike(a)caswellplating.com that mentions
Archibald Easton and his brothers Herbert and Maurice.

Perhaps the submitter has more info about your family.
