Notes:

J.H. Cason served many churches throughout TN, AL, MS, AR, and TX. In 1883, he was sent to the Seymour, TX area as a missionary to the Indians there.

Went to Africa as a missionary shortly after marriage.Had 5 children who lived.Served in Civil War, was at Shiloh, Chaplin in the Confederacy

N4, h2

J.H. Cason is not found among the list of pastors of First Baptist Church in Columbus, Miss. His last child was born in Columbus, Miss,in 1874, so I presume he was either serving a church or teaching school there. Prior children were born in Carrolton, Alabama so I will look for a church there as well.

This family is found in Columbus, Mississippi in the 1870 census.Census indexes list JH Cason as TM Cason. I am unable to find them inthe 1860 Census so far. In 1880, the family is back in Wilson Co.,TN. In 1900, JH Cason is found in the index as Jeremiha Cason, age 77, in the 9th Ward, Dallas, Texas. This would be ED 73, p. 125B. Unfortunately, this image is missing from Ancestry.Com.

In 1866-1868, there are several references to J.H. Cason as an attorney in the West Alabamian newspaper. There are also later references in that general area to a J.H. Cason. But, I do not believe this is the same J.H. Cason. Interestingly, he is in Carrollton, Pickens County as a pastor at the same time as this other Cason is an attorney. I suspect the are both related back in Wilson County.

Graduation:
attended Bradley Academy

Graduation:
graduated from Union College

Military:
It appears that he enlisted for a period of 12 months, starting as a Private. During the first few months, he was named Chaplain for the regiment. At the end of his 12 month term, he appears to have not re-enlisted in this unit.

Military:
This time, J.H. Cason enlisted for the duration of the war as an officer.

Military:
By this time, J.H. Cason is listed as Captain.

Census:
J.H. Cason is enumerated in the 1866 Alabama state census in Twp 21 Range 15 West in Pickens County, Alabama. His family consists of 2 males under 10, 1 male over 20 (total 3), 1 female under 10, 1 aged 10-20, and 1 over 20, (total 3).

Residence:
Subscribed to the West Alabamian

Misc:
On Thursday, the 24th day of Dec., 1868, at the residence of Z. Pulliam, Esq., the bride's father, by Rev. J. H. Cason, Mr. Francis Oscar Evans and Miss Mary Pulliam, of Pickensville, Alabama.

Misc:
On the 19th inst., at the residence of the bride's father, in Vinton, Lowndes County, Mr. Wm. N. Hodo and Miss Sallie A. Trotter; by Elder J.H. Cason. May their lives be as happy as the worthy groom and his beautiful bride deserve, and there will be more of sunshine than of cloud.

Residence:
A note of the Centennial Mass Meeting of the Baptist association says that J.H. Cason was living in Jackson.

Census:
J.H. Cason is listed as maimed or crippled in the 1880 census with the notation that he has only one arm.

Occupation:
The Texas Baptist of Dallas says: That the Rev. J.H. Cason has been called to the Jacksboro and Graham churches

Misc:
Wedding of Mr. Granville P. Key and Miss Annie McGeehan

Misc:
Mr. G.P. Frazer of Jacksboro and Miss Mamie Cason of this place where married this evening at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. J.H. Cason, the bride's father, officiating. Immediately after the ceremony, the bridal party left for Jacksboro.

Misc:
J.H. Cason was selected as a member of the board of Missions.

Apparently, there was a a lot of chaos in this convention. Dr. Hayden, the moderator, was not well versed in Parliamentary procedure. Seems that some newspapers commented negatively on how he was running the session. J.H. Cason rose to his defense and criticized the news coverage. He started to introduce resolutions condemning the local newspapers and was pulled down by Dr. Hayden, his good friend.

There was also something called "The Reddick Matter". A committee on the affair returned a set of resolutions. Elder Battle rose in opposition.

"J.H. Cason spoke in opposition to the Battle motion. Said 'he had been a missionary to Africa and did not feel that in doing so he was sacrificing his Southern principals, for he was a slave holder, and was opposed to social equality.'"



Residence:
Listed as living in Athens in a list of clergy participating in a Joint religious debate.

Misc:
J.H. Cason may have been living in Huntsville at the time. This seems likely.

Misc:
The Baptist General Convention was held in Dallas in 1899. There was considerable dissent at the convention led by a faction that included J.H. Cason. From the newspaper article, it is not clear exactly what the disagreement was, but the dissenters accused the convention leadership of abandoning Christ's teachings and pushing the church to the brink of dissolution.

Misc:
At the Baptist Convention, a number of individuals were denied their seats on the basis of faulty credentials. A large dispute erupted over whether an individual delegate was the person seated at the convention, or whether the church that sent the delegate was the one seated, and then what sort of credentials were valid.

This was the culmination of 15 years of infighting. The president of the Convention, Dr. Hayden of Dallas, was closely associated with J.H. Cason, who helped draft the resolutions that led to the split.

Residence:
The article also lists J.H. Cason as from Timpson, Texas. But other sources place him in Royce. Timpson is too far away to be a two-church charge.

Residence:
J.H. Cason took a new church in Carrollton, Alabama in 1901. Bettie was planning to join him shortly, but her health failed and he had to return to her side in Royce City.

Residence:
Rev. J.H. Cason is listed as Dean, Texas Baptist University

Misc:
Eld. J.H. Cason of Royse, Tex. arrived in the city Thursday for an extended visit to his daughter, Mrs. J.W. Higgs. Elder Cason is perhaps the oldest Baptist minister, in both age and point of service, in the South having passed his 82 milestone.

Notes:

n4, mg2,

Came to Tennessee in 1808. Settled in Wilson Co., TN.

Married in Georgia, came to Falling Creek, TN after marriage. (This is somewhat suspect to me. I am not certain that he actually married in Georgia. There's no reason for this to have happened, as far as I can tell.)

Had 7 sons & 5 daughters by Sally Miller.

Could have been named Joseph.

Died of Cholera.

There is some confusion about Joseph and Thomas CASON and their spouses.

Could have been born about 1776 in NC or SC.

Misc:
Taken up by Joseph Cason, one black mare, 3 years old past, 13 hand high, both hind feet white, large blaze in her face, no brands perceivable, appraised at 8 dollars, June 12th

The minutes of the Quarterly court hold tax lists for 1803-1807. Joseph Cason does not appear in any of these. So, we can assume that he arrived sometime after the tax roll for 1807 was created and before when he took up the lost mare in June 1810.

Possessions:
Land Entry 9742.
Warrant 1340, originally issued to Walter Clopton, Jun. 23 1/2 acres on the waters of Falling Creek, adjoining Joseph Cason's south east border.
Survey 13 Jun 1814

Residence:
If there was a letter waiting in 1813, this gives proof that Joseph Cason was living in Wilson County by then.

Census:
Enumeration: 0011011-0102001, 8 slaves, 16 people

Misc:
As a consequence of a judgment against George Smith, Joseph Cason had an execution order issued to force sale of a piece of property.

Land was sold and debt settled.

Probate:
Annual return and settlement of estate

BURIED: Probably in the John A. Cason burying ground, Wilson Co., TN

Joseph married Rebecca Miller before 1799 in Georgia, United States. Rebecca (daughter of John Miller and Mary Anderson) was born about 1773 in Georgia, United States; died in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Sep 1835 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States.

• Misc: 3 Nov 1815, Laurens, South Carolina, United States; accounting of father's estate

Notes:

Sally and Rebecca Miller are sisters. Both married Casons. One married Joseph Cason and one married John Cason. Both are married to Casons at the time of their father's death in 1814 and the administration of his estate. They seem to often be confused. The recorded documents clearly show that Sally married John and Rebecca married Joseph.

Died of cholera during the epidemic of 1835 in Wilson Co. TN.

Why do we think she was born and / or married in Georgia? Her parents were born, married, and died in South Carolina, Laurens County, mostly.


Birth:
I do not believe that Rebecca was born in Georgia. It appears that her family was in Laurens Co before and after her birth. It also makes little sense that they would go from Georgia back to South Carolina.

Account of what she has received from the estate during her father's lifetime.

There is a marriage record in 1836 Limestone County, Alabama for a marriage of Henrietta Faver to Andrew Wofford. Andrew purchased a slave at John Faver Jr's estate sale. John Wofford (Andrew's father) ended up as the guardian of several Wofford children. I don't think there was a divorce, and Andrew Wofford's will names his wife M.F. Wofford. Who is this Henrietta?

Died:
On John Faver's 1830 Census enumeration, there is a female aged 50-60, which is presumably Henrietta. So, her death is likely between 1830 and 1836.

Notes:

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]

Notes:

DAR-PATRIOT: Sol, SC

Served in the Revolutionary War in the Quartermaster.

John Miller served eighty days, from 9 January to 8 July, 1779 under Capt. John A. Sumners and Col. Waters.

Birth order of his children matches the list in the estate papers, which probably listed them from oldest to youngest.

There is a note in the estate about a charge against the estate for assessing land in Edgefield. It appears that John Miller may have had land in that county as well at the time of his death.

There is a will from Hanse Miller in Will Book A that bequeaths property to John Miller. Is this his father?

Possessions:
William here is William Cason, Jr. His wife is Mary. Joshua Teague witnesses the transaction.

Possessions:
William Cason is certainly connected to Thomas Cason, John Cason, Giles Cason, and therefore, Joseph Cason.

Possessions:
This land is a part of a grant to Zebulon Mathis, John Miller's son-in-law.

Probate:
Probate opened on his estate. Son, George Miller, administrator

Died:
The death date has also been recorded as 2 Feb 1819, but the estate papers clearly say 1814.

John married Mary Anderson before 22 Jun 1768 in South Carolina, United States. Mary (daughter of James Anderson) died before Oct 1807. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
