Note: Aaron Burr Caswell was born at Glens Falls, in the State of New
York, in January, 1807. At an early age he learned the cabinet
trade in his native village, and followed it for several years.
In 1837 he was married at Glens Falls to Miss Hannah Green.
They remained at that place for a time, and then made several
changes in the next few years. His health becoming poor, he
tried trading on the lower Mississippi, and in 1842 came to
Barrington Station, Lake County, Illionis and bought a farm
where he lived for three years.
In 1845 he came to the region of Pere Marquette in Mason
County. Burr himself spent two seasons at Pere Marquette, most
of the time fishing at Duck Lake. He returned with his family
in 1847. Along with his wife Hannah and their four children,
they arrived aboard the schooner Eagle which was enroute for
Manistee. As there was no convenient stopping place, the Eagle
did not deviate from her course. The cattle were dropped
overboard and swam to shore while the family was rowed to land
in a small boat. Butt built a small house out of driftwood.
He improved his farm as rapidly as possible, and worked some at
lumbering. The Indians at once took a liking to him and were
always his friends, ever ready to do him any favor or act of
kindness. Nothing could be wilder and more uncivilized than
the surroundings of the first family of white settlers. Their
home was in the midst of dense wilderness, their neighbors a
tribe of Ottawa Indians. There were two or three white men at
work up the river, but there were no white settlers nearer than
Manistee. The Indians introduced Burr into the mysteries of
their religious rites, and were as friendly to the family as
possible for them to be.
For some time, Burr was engaged in getting out shingle bolts
and shipping them to Chicago in a small boat named Ranger,
which could only carry 20 cords. A Norwegian named Rogerson
was the owner.
In 1849 he built the frame house which still stands in White
Pine Village. It was the first frame building in Mason County
and there are still some of the trees and shrubs he planted
around it growing there. At that time, the village which sprang
up around the Caswells was named Pere Marquette, in memory of
the missionary.
In 1855, Caswell turned the first floor over to the county to
use for a courthouse and trading post with a jail below. The
family moved upstairs. Burr and his eldest son were fishermen
and trappers at first, later working at Baird and Bean Lumber
Mill. Burr was also the first surveyor, the first coroner, the
first judge of probate, and a fish inspector. The county seat
was placed at Burr Caswell's house from 1856 to 1861.
He remained on his farm until the death of his wife, in
February, 1870, when he moved to Ludington, and had charge of a
shingle mill for a time. In 1871 he was again married to Sarah
and in 1873 he became the first lighthouse keeper at Big Point
Sauble where he stayed for 5 years. Later he went to Mitchell,
South Dakota and at the age of 87 was successfully operating a
large hotel. Mr. Caswell then returned to Ludington and 10
years after his return he died at the age of 97 years. He was
buried in Lakeview cemetery beside Mrs. Caswell.

Note: Advertised in the Glen's Falls Observer as a cabinet maker with
a shop near Spencer's Hotel (in Glens Falls, near the Hudson
Bridge)

Note: The first county election was held April 2, 1855. The whole
number of votes polled was forty-one.

First county officers were as follows:

For sheriff, Daniel Holmes; for clerk and register, George B.
Roys; for treasurer, E.G. Farnum; for coroner, W. Quevillon;
for county surveyor, John P. Sedan; for judge of probate, Burr
Caswell; for fish inspector, Burr Caswell.

Note: At a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors, held November
11, 1856, it was ordered that the county seat be located in a
frame building on the Burr Caswell Farm. In those early days,
Judge Littlejohn held court there. Judge and lawyers used to
come on horseback, and stop at Mr. Caswell's.

Note: His health becoming poor, Burr tried trading on the Lower
Mississippi and then came to Illinios and bought a farm in Lake
County, where he lived for six years.
