Individual Note: The story of the overland route from Texas, Blanco County by wagontoCalifornia told by T. J. Casner, eighty one and one half years ofage.He used to be called little Tommy Casner.
We started the journey from Western Texas about the middle of May1868,just a little while after the civil war. I was twenty-one yearsof age.There were four families in the caravan. Mr. Littlepage'sfamily of five,my brother-in-law, Cal Putman's family of three, mybrother MartinVanburin Casner and family of three, our family MartinCasner, wife andthree children.
We started with twelve hundred head of cattle and several horses.Thewomen baked up a lot of bread, we had about a thousand pounds ofbaconand everything else according. When my father started he hiredthebest gunmen he could get. There were twelve of us men all together.Atnight, three at a time would keep guard. We crossed the StatePlains,came to the Pecos River at the Horse Head crossing but traveledaboutthree hundred miles up the river, struck the New Mexico line,wentthrough New Mexico near the White Mountains, along here we found abigsaw mill, went on through Mexico until we came to the Rio GrandeRiver.All the cattle and wagons had to be ferried across. The secondnight ofour journey nearly all our horses ran away and went back tothe head of astream called Conclro. The country was full of Indiansbut I and anotheryoung fellow went back and got the horses.
From the Rio Grande we went to Tucson, Arizona. Along here we ran outofanything to feed our horses so father bought flour, paying fivedollars asack, mixed it with water and fed the horses. We also ranout of bacon andpayed a dollar a pound for it. We killed a calfevery evening until theygot so poor they weren't fit to eat. Then wetraded two poor ones, orthree, off to the Indians for one fat one.After leaving Tucson we nextcame to the Gila River. Near here we cameacross a wagon train where theIndians had killed every one but twolittle children who had wandered awayduring the fight and some peoplefound them on what was called the SaltonFlats. The wagon wheels werestill hot. The people had been buried bythe soldiers who werestationed along the route about every fifty miles.When they heardshots they came as fast as they could but were often toolate to doany good. We were not supposed to fire our guns unless weneeded help.Some of the boys with us shot a snake one day and here camethesoldiers and gave them an awful calling down.
We traveled down the Gila River until we came to Fort Yuma, Arizona.Wecame to the Colorado River and were ferried across. We next cametoIndian Wells which is now Imperial Valley. Just before we came totheWells we came to a little valley where there was a lot of carelessweedgrowing. Our cattle were so hungry they ate a lot of this weed.Theybloated up and we lost forty head all in a bunch. We knew nothingto dofor them at that time.
I stayed at Indian Wells for two months to let the cattle fatten upalittle. The rest of the train went on to Warner ranch in SanDiegoCounty. There was a bunch of Root Digger Indians at IndianWells.They were harmless but very dirty. They would come to my campeverynight and sit around my camp fire. After two months myfather,brother, and brother-in-law came back and we drove the cattle,onlyabout one hundred sixty head left, to Warner ranch.
Just before we came to Tucson, Arizona we came across a family wheretheIndians had taken their horses and everything but the wagon. Wefixedthem up a team and brought then to some mines. Their names wereChilsonand they now live at San Bernardino.
We stayed at Warner ranch until spring then father bought land atBallenaValley. All the rest of us took up government land nearthere. I built ahouse on my land and was married to Texanna Lester inthe year 1870 in alittle town called Julian City. From there we cameto Ventura County inthe year 1872. I drove twenty five head ofcattle through what is now themain street of Los Angeles. At thattime there were only a few buildings,no street cars or railroads.The first railroad came to Los Angeles in1875.

Individual Note: Documents listing the spelling of the family name as Cashner,Casner,Cosner, Karsner, Kerschner, Kersner, Kirschner.
In all references made about Isaac Casner his place of birth is listedasPA. The first mention of him was found in the marriage lines ofIsaacCostner to Easter Delaney November 17, 1802 in Greene Co., TN.They had ason, Martin, born in 1815 and a daughter, Cynthia, born in1816. Isaac waslisted on a tax list in Kingston , TN in 1815. Thereis no record of whathappened to Easter or when she died. In JohnDelaney's will he stateshis daughter Easter's daughter shall drawEaster's portion of his estate.The Chancery Court Minutes of February1850 states the children of EasterCavener, wife of Isaac Cavener -both dec'd, residence of ch. unknownshall receive her 1/12th portionof her brother David Delaney's estate.David died in 1839 intestate &single. Nancy Casner died without leaving awill and in a petitionfiled by Elihu E. Casner in listing the siblings,he refers to Martinand Cynthia Casner as being of the half blood.
James Hope and Isaac Casner were appointed guardians of the minorchildrenof George Cook who died at "Mobile". The children were Caty &Mary whowere of age in 1815, and John, George, Reuben and ElizabethCook who wereminors and that Isaac married Mary Ann Cook at a laterdate. The date ofthe guardianship proceedings is not clear. Themarriage date of Isaac toMary Ann Cook was 12/03/1817. In 1819 Isaacsold his land in Roane Co. In1822, in Morgan Co., AL Isaac boughtland. Isaac Casner arrived in Texasfrom Alabama with his wife andchildren in June 1831 and resided with JohnCattleman while waiting tobe admitted into the Stephen F. Austin LittleContract of 1827. Isaacreceived 1 league (4428.4 acres) of land October30, 1832 above theSan Antonio River and joining Bastrop (can't readword). Isaac waslisted as 47 years of age, wife Mary 30 years of age, 2male and 2female children.
Isaac served in the Spanish War for the Republic of Texas in companyCunder the command of Col. Coleman from October 17, 1836 until January20,1837. After that he served under Captain Andrews until hisdischarge atFort Houston October 17, 1838. He was granted 1280 acresof land for hisservice since there were no funds to pay the men.Isaac traded his grantfor a horse and saddle from Thomas G Mehee.When the land was actuallygranted March 22, 1853 in Burnett County,Isaac was deceased and the landwas transferred from Isaac's estate.
Isaac was listed on the first Tax Roll for the Republic of TexasforTravis County in 1840. To vote he had to travel to Austin which was a6hour trip. Names appearing on the 1846 tax roll were Isaac, James,andMartin Casner. Through the years Isaac had land in Bastrop Co.,BurnettCo., Travis Co., and Hamilton Co.
In a Texas Historian article "The Casners Came to Texas" it statesthatIsaac had five children and names Jason as one. This isincorrect. Thatinformation was taken from an 1850 census. Jason wasthe son of Isaac'sbrother Jacob. That relationship is stated in apetition made by Jacob tothe courts when his son Jason died. At thetime of the 1850 census, Isaacwas deceased and Jason was living onIsaac's property helping with thefarming. Isaac's 3 older childrenwere married and established in theirown households.

Texas Historian - September 1977 - Pages 21-27 - "The Casners CametoTexas" by Jess Evans of Marfa, Texas High School provided thefollowinginformation;
Isaac Casner arrived in Texas in June of 1832 with his wife MaryAnne andtheir five children lived with John Castleman, an acquaintance,until theycould be admitted into Austin's fourth colony. Casner received the titlefrom Mexican government on October 30, 1832, andlocated his league ofland that is known today as Travis County, Texas.He built his cabin inthe Reuben Hornsby settlement, about ten miles fromthe present day ofAustin, Texas. Frank Brown, a chronicler of thevperiod, reports the dateof Hornsby establishment as 1832, and statesthat a year later it was thelast outpost on the upper Colorado River.
In 1836, five families lived in the vicinity of Hornsby settlement.Inaddition to the Hornsby, there was a Jacob Harrells, the Joseph Dutys,TheIsaac Casners, and the J. F. Webbers. The Webbers became the family thatgave their name to an area along the Colorado River between Austin andBastrop that became known as Webber's Prairie.
In the fall of 1836, Isaac hauled freight for the Republic of Texasgovernment camp at Camp Colorado. The records indicated he was haulingfreight on credit, as he was not paid until November 6, 1837 forworkperformed in 1836. He was paid $276 for his services.
When conflict with Mexico appeared imminent, Casner enlisted inCompany Cof the Republic of Texas Army. He entered the service under the commanderof Colonel R. W. Coleman, whose company was mostly made upof adventurers.
On October 1836, Isaac received a contract from the Republic ofTexas tobuy seventy-five horses, saddles, bridles for the army. On the same dayhe sold a bay mare, bridle, and saddle to Colonel R. W. Colemanfor $60,only receiving $20 as down payment and billing the governmentfor thebalance.
Isaac Casner received his honorable discharge from the Texas armyonOctober 17, 1837. That one year of service entitled him to 1,280acresof land, designated a bounty warrant. On November 20, 1837, Casnertransferred his title for 1,280 acres to G. McGehee in return for oneSpanish pony and a saddle. The land was on Morgan Creek in BurnetCounty,Texas which is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Othal Davis of Burnet,Texas.
In addition, Isaac Casner received a head right of 175 acres in whatisknown now as Hamilton County, Texas. He traded the land, unseen, toJosephRodgers.
Isaac Casner returned to Webber's Prairie, after receiving hisarmydischarge, to farm and ranch. On April 20, 1838, he sold beef to theRepublic of Texas government for eight cents per pound to feedtheComanche Indians. The following month he sold an additional orderforten cents per pound paid by Captain V. B. Calmer, the BastropCountyIndian Agent.
After Issac Casner left the military, he lived in Hornsbyresidence,although the actual dates are undetermined. Records from theperiod arelimited to his tax assessment, census data, and voting records.He waslisted in 1838 as a taxpayer of Bastrop County. Travis County taxassessment from 1840 to 1846 indicated Isaac owned a substantial amountofcattle and property. He rendered his silver watch for taxes in 1840,whichcarried a one dollar tax in Travis County. He was, also, listed among the356 who voted in an election on September 7, 1840 at the cityof Austin toelect a representative to Congress of the Republic ofTexas. He must havehad deep interest in the election to ride horsebackfor five or six hoursto vote in Austin.
Isaac Casner died in 1848, and his probate case was filed October16,1848. Of his pioneer figure, only a sketchy outline is discernible.MaryAnn, his widow, and five children are listed in the 1850 WilliamsonCounty, Texas Census.
