Dicy Stafford, after being looked after in 1834 by William Forbis, was taken care of by John Casteel for the year 1835. It appears Dicy may have been an older/widowed? person related to the Metcalf and Casteel family(s) somehow. I am showing John Casteel married to Eleanor Metcalf on Jan 19, 1804 'Madison Co' KY. Eleanor Metcalf is a daughter of Norris Metcalf (see Norris Metcalf 1825-26 Laurel Co KY Tax Lists) ... a sister of William Henry Metcalf who married Elizabeth Elkins. Elizabeth Elkins is a sister to W.R.D. 'Dillard' Elkins and Jackson Elkins who both married Henson daughters of George W Henson and Anna Forbish-Henson while living in Grundy Co MO in the early 1840's. William Metcalf (who became a Judge in Grundy Co MO) moved with the Casteels, Blacks, Hensons, and many others to Livingston/Grundy Co MO from Laurel Co KY in the late 1830's. The Hensons are obviously closely connected to the Forbishs, McCammons, Metcalfs, Casteels, Blacks, and Elkins families. ! Curious if anyone has any information on any of the people mentioned and on Dicey Stafford especially. Thanks for sharing.
