Subject: [CASWELL list] Peter Caswell and daughter Hannah who married George
Richmond
Hello Everyone,
I received this request for help from a fellow "Caswell Cousin"
Can anyone help?
According to "The Richmond Family 1594 - 1896 and Pre-American
Ancestors
1040 - 1594" by Joshua Bailey Richmond published in 1897
"223. George Richmond5 (Josiah4,Edward3,John2, John1) was born in
Middleboro. He married, Oct 5, 1741, Hannah, daughter of Peter
Caswell of
Middleboro.
They removed to Kinderhook (now Chatham), NY. He had two sons and
eight
daughters. He was a blacksmith. He bought land, Oct. 22, 1778, of
John
Hackett and wife Elizabeth. He was of large stature. It is well
authenticated tradition in the family that he cut and split two
hundred oak
rails in the forenoon, went to town meeting in the afternoon, and in
the
games of wrestling so common in those times, threw every man that
could be
brought to him. Those were times when "a man was famous according as
he had
lifted up axes against the thick trees."
CHILDREN:
-619. Josiah6.
+620. Simeon6, born in 1758; married, 1st, Mary Walker; 2nd Polly
Fielding.
-620a. Patience6.\___Twins.

There are three other daughters whose names are unknown."
This is the Peter Caswell that I need proof of wives name...and a hint
of
where else to look for more info that I can actually prove to be
correct...
