Looking for any information on this KERSWELL/CASWELL family. They are
in Glenburn, Penobscot County, Maine in the 1860 census but I cannot
find them in the 1850 census even though the children were reportedly
born in Maine, some in Glenburn. Any help appreciated and will
exchange info. Census records indicate all were born in Maine, but
the parents were born when Maine was still part of Massachusetts.
William KERSWELL born ca 1804, still alive in 1880 census residing in
Glenburn, Penobscot Co., Maine. He married Susan J. perhaps ca 1830?
Susan J. born ca 1809 still living in South Corinth, Maine in 1902
according to her notation in a small bible.
With the difference in age between the children Mary & Dorcas, I
wonder if there were other children? Since I've found no marriage
record for William and Susan, maybe it was a second marriage for both
of them occurring much later than 1830? Just speculating.
Children:
Mary E. KERSWELL b. ca 1834, married James S. STAPLES ca 1857. Mary
died 1882 in Glenburn.
Dorkas KERSWELL b. ca 1847, married Joseph B. SMITH
Frances Jane "Jennie" KERSWELL b. ca 1848 married John BRAWN ca 1867,
married Isaac CLAY 1895
John S. KERSWELL b. ca 1851
Clara KERSWELL b. ca 1854
William KERSWELL b. ca 1856
Joseph E. W. KERSWELL b. ca 1856
Henry A. KERSWELL b. ca 1859
Thanks
