Subject: Who is Mathew Caswell
This missing person is my gg grandfather it seems that no one knows
anything
about him other than he is the beginning of a line of Caswells from some
where
in New York and they migrated to Ontario. He must have had parents and
siblings
and was his spouse Leach or Beach? I know in my heart that there are
hundreds
if not thousands of brilliant Caswells out there who can help Please if
you can
HELP!! Guessing Mathew Caswell was born about 1822 give or take 10
yrs
possibly in New York. I've noticed that alot of Caswells migrated from New
York
to Canada could these be siblings? I've seen a couple of requests for info
pertaining
to this branch of the family but no answers. Of his children 1 Joab was
born in
Eden,Ontario then migrated to Michigan did he have other children?
Thank you for your help
Alva J. Caswell Jr.
