This is one of the very first records we have of Caswells living in Yatesbury.
In a tax list of 1332, William Carsewelle paid taxes of 5s4d and John
Carsewelle paid 6s 8d. This is recorded in the Edington Cartulary Vo l 45 page
43.
Of course neither of these men were the parents of our Robert Casswell of
Yatesbury. but I have placed them here because it is fairly obvious to anyone
researching our family that we must have descended from either William or John.
Both names are common in the family some 600 years later.
Also recorded on the same page is William atte Slade in the Dunworth (Doneworthe) hundred and he paid 20d.
