Hi Angela,
The 1900 Census on them is wierd.
It looks like by the dates that both kids belong to Carrie.
I found this in Kentucky Deaths:
Carrie Casteel Age 34 Death Date 1915 in Hopkins Co.
Thos Costile Age 41 Death Date 1916 in Hopkins Co.
I think these may be your husbands family both died before 1920.
Edgar Casteel may not have been adopted by the Majors they may have jusy told them that
so they wouldn't send him to a home.
Do you live in Hopkins Co. if you do you can go to the Court House and look up their
marrage records. I got alot of my Casteel family marrage records from Hardin Co.
They sould have a copy of the marrage record of Lemon Castile and Lou Blouchard, Bernard
mother and father.
I hope some of this helps you out.
Phyllis
