The young j widow er, then married Sarah Herritage, the daughter of William Herritage, the leading lawyer 'of Dobbs, and that section of the Colony. Johnson was then a, new county, and young Caswell firstentered polit ical lite, as a member of what was called the Collonial Assembly from the County of Johnson. In 1770 71 he was chosen speaker of the House of Commons, representing Johnson county. His Grst military service was aiding Governor Tryon in crush ing 6ut hanging and whipping the Regulators of Orange. j If our Governor can forgive the Governor of Massachusetts then eve ry man in Qrange can forgive Gov.
