per Audrey Riny at rootsweb. Excerpt from Letter to English newspaper by Major
Kellet, a descendant of William Casson. The Casson family in Furness came
originally from Cumberland. There are several groups of this name in and around
Whitehaven but as there is a place called Casson Dyke near Cartmel it is fairly safe
to assume that they also pertained at one time to that area. ... about 1728 a Casson
settled at Longmire in the parish of Coulton. From this place they moved to
Heybridge nearby and their descendants to various other parts of the Furness Fells.
They became blacksmiths in addition to being farmers and this tradition
descended both at Oxenpark and at Dalton-in-Furness.Sources:1. Title: Church
