Perhaps we should get someone to transcribe these wills, and place the work
into the notes of Thomas. Then no one will have to keep going over this
stuff!

This is what the "Mayflower Descendant" says on the
matter:
Thomas Caswell's wife has been identified as Mary Bryant by some.
However, this apparently comes from a citation in the Will of Peter
Caswell, Thomas Caswell's son, in which he mentions his "aunt Bryant."
Also, an "Elizabeth Briant" witnessed the codicil to Thomas Caswell's
will 15 Mar 1696/7, shortly before his death. The identity of Thomas'
wife remains unresolved.
I believe that the source for Mary Sanderson being the wife of Thomas
Caswell is :
Reference made in "The Babbit Family History" By Wm. B. Babbit, 1912,
that the wife of Thomas Caswell was Mary Sanderson of Boston.
