Harriett (Kite)Kite and her husband *Caswell Kite.  They were cousins - her father was David Kite and his father was Samuel Kite.  The picture was printed in a book by Merle Kite Dorius of Utah, and that is where it was scanned for use by the Kite family.

*Note: Caswell Kite has his name on dozens of legal papers and it is ALWAYS just CASWELL KITE.  He is not named George Caswell or David Caswell or any combination as per basic actual documents.  Sons and grandsons were and are named all combinations and have caused confusion within families because of the plethora of Caswell name combinations.

Harriett Kite Kite born November 8, 1818, in Fayette, Georgia.  She died and is buried in Erath County, TX, 26 March 1878, Dublin city, Barbee Cemetery, and has a marker stone.

Caswell Kite was born 4 August 1811 in, possibly, Pitt Co, North Carolina, and death was 14 March 1897, thought to be in Falls Co, TX, where his land was located, and a family letter says that he was drowned.  (The Brazos River is by his land and floods often.)  Many say he is buried in Erath, Barbee Cemetery, but he is not on any list or in any unmarked grave near or in the same cemetery as his wife and children - or any cemetery at all in Erath Co, TX.  His grave or burial is unknown.

Caswell had two children marry while the family lived in Butler Co. Alabama.  His son Henry Kite wed Margaret Winafred Williams (called "Winny") in Butler Co in the home of her father, J.W. Williams.

The mother of Winny was named Winafred MOORE and she died in 1866, also in Butler Co, Alabama.  WINAFRED *MOORE was married (1818) to John William WILLIAMS, who also died in Butler Co, Ala, in 1855.  I do not have this marriage paper.

* The MOORE family was Lewis Moore, who died 1864 Butler Co and is buried in Kilgore Cem., and his wife, Pheraby WHIDDON, who died Butler Co. Ala.  I do not have a record of their burials.

Caswell and Harriett had a daughter, Mary, who wed the brother of "Winny" named James Jasper Williams.  All before 1860.

Children were born in Butler Co and families visited back and forth, to and from, Texas and Butler Co, with land transactions and other bonds between Butler Co and the Texas Kite/Williams family.

*Holland Kite, nicknamed "HOLLY" (mother of Harriett), and David Kite (father of Harriett Kite Kite) died in Greenville, Butler Co., Alabama. 

Note:  *"Holland Kite" is how all her legal documents were signed.  Her maiden name is unknown and is NOT Holland.  Also, there are many "HOLLY" Kite girls.  It's a family name that has been used multiple times.
