Subject: Caswells in Madison Co.
Hello Mike;
I am searching for the parents of Peleg Caswell, Born about 1807 in New
York,
perhaps in Madison Co. His first appearance was in Clockville in the
1830's where he was already married and with young children. His wife was
Nancy Bellington of Cazenovia, their children were: Edward(b.1836),
Henry(b.1838), Peleg Jr.(b. 1842), Catherine(b.1847), Rose and Sarah. Peleg
died intestate in Kansas in 1858. So there is no death certificate or will
to help.
I am contacting you because Noreen Haler of the Caswell Surname Association
suggested Peleg was a child of Gilbert and Hannah Foster. She has on file
only 3 daughters, although the 1810 Census (Sullivan, Madison Co.) lists one
male child along with a gaggle of females. As I was turning through my
file on Misc. Caswells I came across your newsletter from last May. You
mention his daughters and Gilbert b. 1799. This seems to jibe with the
census, and so there is no room for poor Peleg.
Have you in your search found any hint of Peleg? I have concluded he is
not the son
of either Gilbert Caswell of Sulivan or Daniel Caswell of
Cazenovia. I am running out of Caswells in Madison Co. to research. Do
you have any hints or suggestions?
I would appreciate any help
