He was the son of a clergyman, came to the United States in 1828, and was graduated at Kenyon in 1830. He became a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal church in 1837, being the first ordained graduate of the College. After acting as minister and professor of theology in the United States and Canada, he returned to England in 1842, and, the validity of his orders having been recognized by act of parliament, became vicar of Figheldean, Wiltshire, proctor for the diocese of Sarum, and prebendary of Salisbury cathedral. He visited this country in 1854, and was given the degree of D.D. by Trinity College, Hartford. He had previously been given that of M. A. by Kenyon College in 1834, and by Oxford in 1854. Dr. Caswall came again to this country about 1868, and remained here till his death.
