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.

Misc:
Land was sold and debt settled.

Probate:
Annual return and settlement of estate

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

• Misc: 22 Sep 1779, Ninety Six District, South Carolina, United States; witnessed a deed from George Weir to William Cason
• Possessions: 23 Oct 1783, Craven, South Carolina, United States; purchased 150 acres from David Huggans
• Possessions: 24 Oct 1783, Craven, South Carolina, United States; purchased land from David Huggans
• Misc: 21 Jan 1787, Ninety Six District, South Carolina, United States; witnesses a deed from George Weir to William Cason

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]
