    Notes:

    Dr. Samuel Caswell appears to have been the first resident physician within the ancient limits of Norton. He is supposed to have been the son of John Caswell (see early settlers); and was born Oct. 6, 1695. The first notice we have of him on our records is Oct. 17, 1726, when the town "voted to Pay to Doctr. Saml. Caswell, for doctering Goode Merry, - 15 - 0." He, however, bought land in Norton, in 1723, of Lydia Briggs, daughter of Samuel Briggs, deceased; and was then called a "Practitioner of Physick." Probably about that time, he established himself here as a physician and farmer. He lived where Benjamin Sweet now (1858) lives; and his house stood three rods over the line, within the present limits of Mansfield. He married, Feb. 5, 1727-8, Ursula White, daughter of Deacon Nicholas White; and had four children. He remained here till about the year 1747, when he died. He is believed to have had a wife, and a son Samuel, previous to his marriage with Ursula White. - A history of the town of Norton, Bristol County, Massachusetts: from 1669 to 1859
