Son of Samuel & Nancy Caswell.
Burial location per historian Charles M. Thatcher's Papers which were inscriptions of gravestones physically inventoried in late 1800's. The inscription was noted by him at that time.

Note- There's a cenotaph in Mount Pleasant Cemetery Taunton. See memorial #75475104, you'll see that's a much younger stone and has many family names on it. The cenotaph stone does not have the inscription that Thatcher wrote.

Date of birth, April 26, 1833, is per source information from the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS). The later cenotaph gravestone says April 21, 1833. I chose the one that NEHGS used because they are world renown researchers. The inscription Thatcher wrote only had his death date and the age at death.

Found among the scattered graves markers/stones in the woods beside the enclosure. Fallen trees, branches and leaves cover this area.
