Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/1899 Surname: CASTO, DEWEES ------------------------- You are entirely right. At first, when told Phoebe was a child of Charles and Deborah, I was elated, until I found the error. Phoebe who married Leonard Green on May 12, 1848, would have been too old to be the daughter of Charles and Deborah Casto SINCE, Charles Casto married Deborah Casto on March 18, 1852. I have the children of Charles and Deborah Casto as follows: (1) Joseph K. Casto born ca. 1859 - 1866 (2) Rachel Casto b. ca. 1853 (3) Mary Margaret Casto b. ca. 1855 (4) Franklin A. Casto b. April 1858 (5) Enoch Staats F. Casto b. ca. 1868 Charles was the son of "big" John J. Casto and Gracy McDade, and Deborah the daughter of Elijah R. Casto (son of William Casto and Susanna Rollins) and Rachel Charlotte Dewees (dau. of Samuel Dewees and Edith Battin). The families of William Casto and Samuel Dewees were located in the Parchment Valley area and many of their children intermarried.
