Re: Joiner

Interesting family group to track.

His full name was Caswell Lee Joiner

Looks like your Caswell Joiner lived a long life:
Name: Caswell L. Joiner
SSN: 465-84-2231
Last Residence: 77630Orange, Orange, Texas, United States of America
Born: 26 Feb 1876
Died: 15 Sep 1968
State (Year) SSN issued: Texas (1965 )

Texas Death Index, 1903-2000 Record
Name: Casswell Joiner
Death Date: 9 Sep 1968
Death County: Orange
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Widowed

**The 1880 TX census does not list his father in household. Your best bet would be to order a copy of his 'original' Social Security Application. One of the few documents to be filled out by the person themself.Death records are filled out by others and often contain errors/omissions.

WW1 Draft Registration

resides Hartburg, Newton Co, TX
Blue eyes, Lt Br hair
nearest relative: Mrs Bertie Joiner, same address

**if married, nearest relative is wife**

Census work offers more clues: his wife's name is listed as Roberta on the 1900 TX, Newton Co, census..md 4yrs .But later as Birdie and Bertie.

1900 to 1930 they are on the TX, Newton Co census. with children
Rowena
Martha E., later listed as Edith
Eva M
Allice A.later listed as Abbie (named after his mother)
Lee
***on the 1900 census Caswell lists his place of birth as AL but on 1880 & later it is listed as TX. He always lists his father as born in AL and mother in MISSISSIPPI

Caswell Lee Joiner had a brother, Charles Franklin Joiner bn 22 Feb 1878...Charles is listed on the TX, Newton Co cenus records usually living next door or same page as Caswell. Caswell is listed as Casie/Cassie L. Joiner on the 1910,1920,1930 census.

1880 TX, Jasper Co
Lenard, Geo W. 64
, Susan 63, wife

Joiner, Abby 37, dau, md, bn miss
other Lenards listed then
Joiner, Caswell L. 4, grandson bn TX
Joiner, Charley F. 2, grandson bn TX
*all in the same household.

1900 TX, Newton Co
living next door to Caswell Joiner is:
Joiner, Abbie 57, bn may 1843 in MISS, 2kids/2 living
Leonard, George 83 bn sept 1816 in AL, father in law.
***looks like this father in law is an error by the census taker, probably because he has a different surname.This appears to be her father based on the 1880 census above.

1910 TX,Newton Co
Annice A. Joiner 67, wd, bn MISS, listed as mother
is living with Caswell Joiner & his family. She is not on the 1920 census so good chance she died in Newton Co, TX.Worth checking one.

Ordering the death or original social security application for one of Caswell & Roberta/Bertie Joiner may give you her maiden name.

This should give you a good start on the Joiner side,
