    LEVI RICHARDSON CASON

    Levi Richardson Cason was born near Sandersville, Washington County, Georgia, April 19, 1839. About two years after the War Between the States he located in Toomsboro, Wilkinson County, and except for a year at Forsyth, Ga., and three years at Jackson, Ga., he lived there until his death. He first clerked for Judge Cannon, later for Mr. Ira Deese and he also taught school for a short while. About 1877 he went into business for himself and when he retired forty-five years afterwards he had long been one of the leading merchants of the county. He built the first brick mercantile buildings in the county, at the same time putting up the Wilkinson County Bank Building, the first bank in the county. He served as one of the Directors of this bank from its beginning until about two years before his death, and before it was organized he acted in the capacity of private banker for numbers of his customers. He was an elder in the Toomsboro Christian Church. He had served both as Mayor and Councilman of his town, and was a member of Camp Warthen, U.C.V. He enlisted in the Confederate army, April 19, 1861, age twenty two, in Co. A. 28th.

    LEVI RICHARDSON CASON

    Regiment Georgia Vol., and served the full four years. He was in many notable engagements and was wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Mr. Cason died at Toomsboro, Ga., May 13, 1928, age eighty-eight years, and was buried at the Stephens family cemetery. He was survived by his
    wife, four daughters, two sons and eleven grandchildren.

    William Cason, grandfather of L.R. Cason, settled in Washington County between Sandersville and Oconee about 1800, moving there with his wife, Rhoda, from Tar River, N.C. They had one daughter, (Mrs. Stuart) and three sons, Henry (Ala.). John Justin (Fla.) and Dennis, father of
    L.R. Cason, born in Washington County 1805, died December 2, 1862. Dennis Cason married Sarah Massey, born in N.C. 1806, died Nov. 1887. Sarah was a daughter of Abel Massey and Elizabeth (Jones) Massey, who moved to Washington County from North Carolina in 1814. L.R. Cason had three brothers who also served during the War Between the States. Abel, 1802-65, with First Georgia Battalion; William, 1814-65, with First Georgia Regiment, later with First Georgia Battalion; and John, enlisted in 1861 in Co. B. 28th Georgia Regiment, died of illness May, '62, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery, Richmond, Va. When Mr. Cason visited Richmond a few years before his death he had a marker placed there for the family, in addition to the Confederate marker. These four soldier brothers had three sisters widowed by the war: Mary, m. Owen
    Elkins, d. Nov., '62, at Seven Pines; Rhoda, m. H.L. Hodges, d. '62 at Sharpsburg; Nellie, m. Tom Tucker, d. June '62, in Seven Days' fight around Richmond.

    Jan. 4, 1874, L.R. Cason married Martha Virginia Stephens, of Toomsboro, granddaughter of John Stephens and Elizabeth (Matthews) Stephens, who moved to Wilkinson County from N.C. in 1822. John Stephens served with the N.C. Militia during the Revolutionary War, and his grave, two miles south of Toomsboro, was marked April, 1925, by
    Major General Samuel Elbert Chapter, D.A.R. Tennille, Ga., the first grave in the county to be so honored. James, the oldest child of John and Elizabeth, was born in N.C. Feb. 27, 1817, and was married in 1840 to Jerusha Barnes, daughter of William Barnes and Cecelia (Vickers) Barnes. Of the six daughters (they had no sons) of James and Jerusha, four became the wives of ex-Confederate soldiers. Martha Virginia being
    the wife of L.R. Cason. During the War Between the States James Stephens did home service which entitles his descendants to membership in the S.C.V. and the U.D.C.
