Is a son of William and Ellen Casebolt, and was born January 20, 1827, (his age was never set down in any record, and there is some dispute about it,) in Pocahontas county, Virginia, where he was raised on a farm. In 1844 he came to Saline county, Missouri, with his father, and has since been closely identified with this county. In 1849, he was married to Miss Jane Moberly.

He is indebted to his own exertions solely for his prosperity.
