Biography
James Caswell was born in Dobbs County, North Carolina about 1765. He is listed on the 1790 census there.[1]
Shortly after that date he moved to Georgia. Genealogist Mae Hooten notes that Martin’s son James served as sheriff of Screven County, GA, which he helped to found, in 1795-1796 and thereafter was Clerk of the Superior Court in Screven, continually until 1809.[2][3]
Many other descendants in Martin’s family served as sheriffs, lawyers, and clerks of the court.[4]
