History

William Henry McCaslin was born in Cork County, Ireland and came to the United States in 1838, settling in this area of southeastern Genesee County. The lake near McCaslin's land is now known as McCaslin Lake. McCaslin had five children with his wife, Lucinda. In the 1850s, they began construction on a house ion their property. However, William McCaslin died in 1858 by falling from a barn, and construction stalled. In 1861, Lucinda hired a contractor named Dick Gibbons for $1,000 to finish the home. [2]
