Hello Beulah:
Since the only Caswell name I know of is that of Mary Ann, I can't identify
anyone amongst the names you mentioned. However, this is the best clue I've had
in more than 20 years and I'd like to maintain contact with you and pursue the
possibility of a connection. (Actually, we exchanged a few messages a few months
ago, but I got busy and didn't follow up with you.)
Thanks so much for responding. I'm going to keep this high on my To-Do List.
Perhaps we should correspond off list.

Hi Dick:
Our line of Caswells originate in the Tipperary, Limerick or Co. Clare also,
and it is possible that your Mary Ann is a relative, perhaps sister, to our
James born c 1803. James emigrated to Canada in the 1830's and married Jane
Eliza Totten 03 Mar 1837, recorded in Anglican register for Perth ON. Their
oldest son John was baptized there 24 June 1838. They subsequently lived in
St Vincent Twp Grey Co, Markdale Gleneg Co, and at Pinkerton in Bruce Co.
Their children were besides John, Eliza Ann, William (my husband's
ancestor), Samuel, George, Sarah Jane, James Henry and Robert. We have
considerable info on descendants of this line.
We also have considerable info on Henry C Caswell born c 1799 (Blakcwater
Mills?) married 11 Nov 1823 to Anne (Nancy) Ackland by diocese of Cashell in
Tipperary. In the 1841 census Drummond Twp Lanark Co., James and Henry C
were on the same lot, and later moved to St. Vincent Twp Grey co at the same
time.
Later, at Markdale there is a Robert Caswell living next to each other. In
fact they bought their lots in 1854 with the same issue number, indicating
they were together.
We also know of a Margaret Caswell, who married a William Baskerville, and
emigrated to Canada who could be a sister.
Caswell is an English name, not Irish, so it is logical that the Caswells we
find in TIP, Clare and Limerick were related. The trick is to find out
HOW!
