Yes - this is the saga of my Caswell line as I logged onto
www.familysearch.com
and was working on my Westgate line. They are from Plymouth and
Rochester(Wareham). Elijah Caswell m. 1833 at Middelboro to Eunice Russell
Hall
* Eunice is the daughter of William Hall and Lucinda Muxham. William
Hall is the son
* of Luke Hall and Elizabeth Westgate - Elizabeth Westgate is probably
the daughter
* of Thomas Westgate and Elizabeth Braley - Elizabeth Braley is
probably the daughter of Ambrose Braley and Mary Reynolds.
Now in regards to Mary Reynolds - I opened her file up and low and behold
she was listed as the daughter of Isaac Reynolds and Dorothy Seekins. Well
.... This made
my eyes pop out of my head as I have suspected that my Elijah Caswell who
m. 1776
to Mercy Seekins that Jotham Caswell was his father. Jotham Caswell also
married Mary Reynolds and this Mary is attributed to be the daughter of
Isaac Reynolds and
Dorothy Seekins. This made me sick.
Ambrose Braley m. Mary Reynolds at Middelboro 18 June 1728.
Jotham Caswell m. Mary Reynolds at Middelboro 11 January 1732
And this is the dissapointment - it looks like one of these marriages is
wrongly
attributed to Isaac and Dorothy.
Yes - its all threads and needlework but I figure somehow my Caswell clan
married
distant cousins and when I find stuff like this I figure it will be the only
clues that I
ever find on this very poor branch of the Caswell tree.
Any comments are most welcome.
