    Notes:

    John Milton Caswell was born 2 Sep 1777 in prob. Woodstock, Connecticut. By 1790 the family had moved to Belchertown, Hampshire, Mass. where his father Solomon shows up on the 1790 U.S. Census. The marriage intention from Longmeadow was recorded 10 Oct. 1798 between "John Milton Caswell of Belcher and Eunice Webber of this town". John probably learned the gunsmith trade in Belchertown possibly from his father Solomon. Shortly after marriage John and Eunice moved to Wapole, New Hampshire where daughter Sophia's birth record is found. John is listed in the census there in 1800. By 1810 John had moved his family to Springfield Mass. where his father were now living and was engaged in business with a Mr. Dodge as Caswell & Dodge gunsmiths. They were contracted to produce Charleville (Model 1795) pattern muskets from 1806-1807. Solomon died in 1812 and about this time or before the family moved to Lansingburgh, NY where John opened up 3 gunsmith shops in the town. There he produced rifles employing 25 men or more until 1836 when he retired and his son John Milton Caswell (Jr.) took over the business. Many of the guns were produced under contract to the local militias as well as private sales. The collectible antique guns are still bought and sold today. John and Eunice died in Lansingburgh and were buried in Old Lansingburgh Cemetery though no gravestones have been located.
    John's father was erroneously reported as Thomas Caswell, also a gunsmith, by Arcadi Gluckman and L. D. Saterlee in their second edition of "American Gun Maker" in 1953. The error has been carried on by more recent authors and compilers of gun makers who have copied this previous work. No record of a Thomas Caswell has been found in Lansingburgh or the surrounding area or in Springfield, Mass.
