Paul was the son of William LEWIS Brown and Fern E Messenger. Paul's obituary of 1984 lists his father as just LEWIS Brown Fern E Messenger was the daughter of James Messenger and first wife Sarah Bennett. Did William C Casteel, father of Nellie Casteel marry Sarah's sister Lydia Bell Bennett?? Found William Casteel and Lydia in the 1920 South Connellsville, Fayette Co, PA census. In the 1930 Census, he's in Monongailia Co, WVA census. In the 1920 Census, William has children Arthur b 1900; Alwood b 1903; Fred born in MD 1906; Grace b MD in 1908; Hudson b Nebraska in 1909; and my husband's Nellie, b 1913, late born in WVA. Fred Casteel seems to have stayed in Preston Co and married one Hester Haskell? Clarence Casteel married an Alice and had daughter Betty Jane b 1929 or 1930, according to that 1930 census. He's living with his father William I'm just starting on this line; what I've posted is pretty much what I've gathered, via internet only, over the past 48 hrs. Perhaps you can help fill in the gaps that will make this puzzle fit nice.
