Dear Mr. Caswell,
Than you again for referring me to the Caswell home-page & gedcom
file. Unfortunately, the gedcom file apparently doesn't contain the
"Caswells of Virginia" information that you posted in August of 2001
in the Ancestry World Tree at
Ancestry.com, and that is of most
interest to us. The "Caswells of Virginia" link at the Caswells
home-page seems to be inoperative at this time.
The "Caswells of Virginia" at Ancestry World Tree starts with William
Caswell (b. 1614 in Norfolk, VA) and eventually reaches down to
Benjamin Shepard Caswell (b. 1837 in Troup Co., GA) who married
Elliott Perkinson, our relative. Elliott's father, James Allen
Perkinson, had a second wife, Sarah A. Cooper that you show as the
daughter of a John & Mary Cooper.
Our question: do you have in your records a source for the statement
that Sarah A. Cooper was the daughter of John & Mary Cooper? Or, if
you obtained the "Caswells of Virginia" information from someone
else, would it be possible for you to put us in contact with that
person?
We would greatly appreciate any help that you can give us in this matter.
Sincerely, Malcolm Sargent.
