To Marlene Stobbart:
I would like to try to help. I have been researching my Caswell's who came
originally to Southwestern Ontario (Elgin County, Bayham Township) from the
US (New York) about 1803. I note that there is also a Caswell line (that is
well documented by Shirley Mayse) that came from Limerick, Ireland, also in
the early 1800's, originally settling in the Kingston/Ottawa area of
Ontario.
I found your email a little confusing in that I am not sure if the "small
note that she left" referred to Arvilla's siblings? Is the information
following that referring to Arvilla's father's family so other Caswell's or
are you talking about Greens?
While I don't recognize the name Arvilla, I do have the third edition of
Shirley Mayse's book "Our Caswell Relatives" and have also gleaned some
information on my own about that line in my Caswell research. I suspect
your group might just be from the Caswell's that emigrated directly from
Ireland, but that's purely a guess.
If you would reply with a sketched out family tree of what you know then I
will check through my files.
