Hello, I am researching the family of GEORGE CASTLEN'S a long time resident of New Richmond, Ohio. George was born September 8, 1818 and died January 22, 1899. George was a businessman; he owned Castlen's Grocery located on the corner of Front and Quarry Street; Director of First National Bank of New Richmond for a while; and a member of the Cranston Presbyterian Church on New Richmond. He married JANE DANSON, March 8, 1838, and apparently her family was one of the first settlers in New Richmond,,,children were..Stephen, Sarah, Elizabeth, William, Thomas, and Andrew. George's second marriage was to CAROLINE OAKLEY. Most of what I have here was found in the History of Clermont County, Ohio by Bryon Williams. This is abut all I have on this family. I do know that there is a store currently in New Richmond called "CASTLEN HOUSE", does anyone know anything about this business or history. Any data on this family would be really appreciated.. Thanks, BRUCE CASTLEN

Halstead Archard Conner, a physician of New Richmond, Ohio, the only son of John and Eliza [Archard] Conner, married Daisy Castlen and they had no children [per the 1902 obituary for Jane Warren [Archard]]. There is a grave monument for Halstead in the Warren cemetery. Halstead would have been born around 1870 and so the marriage to Daisy would have been in the 1890's.
