Tuanton cousins -
I am compiling data on Hannah Gardner m. 1802 at Tuanton to Abiathar
Caswell (1782-1826) of Dighton,Mass.
There was a Hannah Gardner b. nearby and with the same year birth at
Abiathar. After researching her father and mothers
ancestry i have uncovered a lot of Caswell marrying families
interconnected.
Hannah Gardner was the dau of Peleg Gardner and Lydia Simmons of Swansea
and Freetown. Peleg is the son of Peleg Gardner and Hannah Sweet(can find
nothing more on those two). Lydia Simmons is the dau of Constant Simmon and
Lydia Phillips. Lydia is the dau of Joshua Phillips and Hannah Jones(dau of
Thomas Jones and Mary Paul) Josh Phillips is the son of Josh Sr and Amy
Drake. Mary Paul is the dau of William Paul and Mary Richmond.
On the mothers side we have the Jones family - quite prevalent in the early
Caswells as well as the Paul family - also
present are marriaged to drakes and Richmonds.
gee ! it seems like this Peleg gardner and hannah Sweet could very well be
her parents. At a funeral or wedding - the mothers side could easily have
been present - thats how they kept close and always marrying kin.
any comments ???
