Found this while searching for another family. May be helpful to
someone. There was some additional info, but I've tried to include all
names and dates. Looks like I may have missed copying something, as
don't have add'l info on W.T. and Sarah.

Wosson McCaslin, an old and respected citizen of Franklin Township, was
born June 18, 1827,in Scott County, Indiana being the third in a family
of seven children born to the marriage of David and Polly Sellers McCaslin,
the former born in Mercer county Ky, in 1797 and died in Johnson county

In the fall of 1827, the family emigrated to Johnson County and settled
in Franklin Township, just west of the city of Franklin, where the subject
of this biographical sketch grew to manhood. He attended school at the
old log school house that was located in Franklin, near where the
Presbyterian
Church now stands. The life of Mr McCaslin has been that of a farmer, which
he began for himself at twenty-one years of age, and, in 1856 settled on
his present farm and now owns 360 acres of excellent and well improved
land. As a farmer and stock-raiser. Mr McCaslin is progressive and up with
the times. He was united in mariage November 13, 1850, to Miss Jane S.
Winchester, born in this county, September 28, 1828, being a daughter of
Serril and Mary A. Miller Winchester. The father of Mrs. McCaslin was born
in Hardin county, Ky, in 1804, and died in this county in 1854; her mother
was born in North Carolina in 1803, and died in this county in 1867. The
Winchester family came to Johnson County in 1826, and were among the early
pioneers of this part of Indiana. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. McCaslin
are these seven chldren: David S., born 1853; Everett M., born 1855; Josie,
born 1857; John H., born 1859; Florence, born 1861; Laura J., born 1863,

David McCaslin

Died at his residence one and a half mles west of the city on the Franklin
and Trafalgar gravel road on Saturday morning last, November 1st, aged
seventy-six years, one month and eleven days.

Mr. McCaslin was born in Mercer County, Kentucky, September 11th, 1797.
HIs father lived on Thompson Creek, Mercer County, and died there leaving
a widow and six children, David being the second child in the family and
only nine years of age at the time of this father's death. The family moved
from Mercer County to the southern part of Indiana near Hanover, in 1816
and in the year 1822 David married Miss Pollie Sellers of Scott County,
Indiana. In the month of September, 1827, he came to the then wilds of
Johnson County, and entered the farm on which he lived up to the time of
his death. He at first entered an eighty acre tract of land, but in the
course of time he purchased adjoining lands until he had in one body 320
acres of good farming land, and by hard work and good management accumulated
an abundance of this worlds goods, but was always counted an honest and
upright man and was highly respected by all his neighbors. He united with
the Presbyterian Church in Scott County and on coming to Johnson County
united with the Church here in Franklin and at the time of his death had
been a member of the Presbyterian Church for over fifty years.

His funeral was preached at his last residence on last Sunday afternoon
at 2 1/2 o'clock by Rev. S. E. Wishard, after which his remains were brought
to the Franklin Cemetery and placed in their final resting place.

Thus one by one are the settlers of Johnson County passing away.

I am the descendent of David Wason McCaslin and have inherited a book called
"The History of Johnson County Indiana, 1888". I intend to scan the pages
dealing with the McCaslins today or tomorrow and will send them to you if
you are interested. I would be interested to see how your family and mine
are connected. You may find minw on-line if you search on David McCaslin who
married Mary Sellers. The file is named Brown-Bishop.
