Robert Caston was born about 1953 in Carthage, I think. His uncle doesn't know the date but said the family lived in Carthage before moving to Longview. I have checked in Longview and he wasn't born there. His father, Luther Preston Caston, was a lawyer and went to Carthage when he finished law school at SMU in Dallas. Later they moved to Longview. 4 April 1972 L. P. died in a house fire in Longview. Robert was a student at SMU at that time, according to the obit. I don't know if he was ever in private practice but I know he has worked for several companies in Texas and Missouri in the legal departments. His mother was Katherine Walton, possibly Katherine Jeanne. Her grandfather, James Franklin Walton, was one of the first settlers in Hubbard, Hill County, Texas. I think the Caston family was from somewhere in east Texas. Robert has a younger sister, Marva Ann, who was born in Longview with some physical problems and has been in a nursing home for some time. This is about all I know about the family. There are several of us working together on the Walton family history and would like to have information about this family if possible.
