Do any of you have record of a Benjamin Franklin Caswell that was born May 22, 1828? We do
not know for certain who his father was. He was from around this area. Any help would be
appreciated. His mother died when he was
younger and his father remarried. He had a sister named Alma.

Do you have any information on whether Prudentia and Elkanah may have had an
older brother (or cousin?) named Levi Caswell? Levi is my great-great
grandfather and was born in Connecticut in 1778. Is there anything in your
information that might place Elijah and Mary in Conn. around that time? Levi
married Asenath Hubbard (also of Conn.) in East Hampton, Middlesex,
Connecticut on 17 Nov. 1799 (or in Exeter, N.Y. on Dec. 17, 1798, according
to another source), so he seems to have pretty solid Connecticut roots - at
least until he moved to Otsego County, N.Y., some time before 1811.
If anyone else can help me locate Levi's parents, feel free to chime in!
Thanks,
Thomas Hubbard Caswell III

I finally have parents for my brickwall Caswell's! (Prudentia and Elkanah)
Death records list the parents as Elijah Caswell from Middleboro, MA and
Mary
Caswell from New Salem, MA.
Birthplace for Prudence was Shutesbury MA about 1786-1787
Birthplace for Elkanah was New Salem, MA about May 1800
Does anyone have a clue who Elijah and Mary are?
Thanks
