Landed at Fredericksburg, VA before the Revolutionary War. Settled near there. Fought in the Revolution for the entire war. Had 4 sons and 5 daughters.
Figuring out where Thomas Cason and other Laurens Casons lived and who they were is important to move forward and backward. In 1800, there appear to be several Casons: Thomas, Giles, Elizabeth, John, and Benjamin.
There appears to be a William and a William Jr. William Jr is married to Mary. Thomas witnesses deed for William Jr. I suspect that they are brothers and that William Sr (not yet seen) is likely their father.
Possessions:
This deed says that both parties and the land are in Craven County, but it also talks about land on the Saluda River, which is in Ninety Six District and Laurens County.
Craven is an extinct county and was eliminated when the seven original judicial districts were created.
Misc:
Thomas Cason witnesses a deed from George Weir to William Cason, Jr. I suspect that William and Thomas are brothers and that their father may be William (since William is Jr)
In a later will, William Cason, Jr witnesses a deed to William Cason.Thomas married Sarah. Sarah and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
