Thanks for the reply.Yes, I have all the information you provided me.
Thad (Thatus, from the census records) was my great-grandfather.His son, Eugene Wesley, was my grandfather.Thad & John Welsey (his brother) married sisters - Maggie & Matilda Altenburg.Also, it appears that this was the 2nd marriage for both Ban Casser & Mary A. as they were married in 1887 (John Wesley was born in 1883) and Rosa & Thad are just months apart in age.
So yes, Ban Casser (regardless of spelling) found in records from 1900 to 1931 (when he died while a resident of the Convalescent Home/Poor Farm - yet another mystery) is my known, 100% for sure kin.
My "brick wall" lies in linking Ban Casser to who I believe are his parents: Benjamin Franklin & Mary Jane (Stillwell) Watson of Upson Co., Georgia.I have found census records indicating they had a child in the right year (1859) & who is listed as C.B. (M, age 1)in 1860, Casga (M, age 10) in 1870, and Cassalina (F, age 21) in 1880.Why he's listed as a female in 1880?Your guess is as good as mine.I still have doubts, of course, but it does seem to line up timewise & "soundex"-wise.Plus I've been unable to find any other possible matches.
I had wanted to contact you, btw, when I found this possible match (yes, I do remember being in contact before), but when I got a new computer, I lost many of my contacts.
Hopefully we can bridge this gap or rule it out... and I can help to verify, correct, and/or rule out any information you may have on the line from Ban Casser to the present --- at least through the Thad to Eugene & siblings line(s).
