| In 1991 I began a journey back into time. Along the way, I have become acquainted with many cousins I never knew existed. The journey began with John Jesse Cason of Hancock County, Georgia in 1802. He and his wife, Martha Johnson, produced twins, John and Jesse. John Jasper, came to Anderson County, Texas, about 1853. He and his wife, Louisa Jenkins, raised a large family in Brown County, Texas. His Father, Jesse, was scalped by Commanche Indians in 1862 in Brown County. William, his olderst son of fourteen children, was born in 1870. Marriages from these children connected the family to Hindman, Palmer, Cook, Brooks, Gibson, Weaver, Moore, Sliger and Buckalew. John Jasper married Sarah Catherine Palmer, in 1892. Sarah's parents, Napoleon Bonapart and Melvina Gabbert Palmer were well established pioneers in Texas, with connection to the Jones, Hill, Teague, Tabor, and Witt families. William Cason's children married into the Bakers, Waldrep, Mills, Gray, and Rankin families. My Father, Dewey Mack Cason married my Mother, Maggie Bernice Sanders, in 1922. Her family names were Sanders, Ward, and Chick, and she raised six children in Coleman County, Texas. The journey continues with all my cousins scattering from California back to the East Coast where it all began. With the help of Kenneth Cason of Coleman County, Texas, Clydene Comedy, Maxine Young, both of Abilene and Doris Gifford of Oklahoma, Jean Gilliam of Bossier City, Louisiana, Barbara Rice and Benny Waldrep of California, Darlene Jolley of Dallas, Ovella Harris of Brown County and the late Mary Baker Trammell of Lubbock we are almost near completion of our history, with documentation of birth, marriage, and death certificates, copies of census reports, civil war records, pictures, verbal histories, and newspaper clippings. We welcome interest into our window to the past and we are willing to share this history with others. |
