Here's what I've found recently on Roswell and Margaret Castle Van Orman:
Walnut Hill Cemetery, Sauk County, Wisconsin
http://www.interment.net/data/us/wi/sauk/walnut/walnut_tov.htm
Van Orman, Roswell, d. Nov 22, 18??, 41y, s/w Romine Van Orman, South Division, NE 1/4
The RootsWeb Van Norman website lists Margaret Castle as Roswell's spouse. Her first
name at least is supported by the 1850 census:
Brooklyn, Sauk, WI; Van Norman, Margaret 39 NY, Romine 13, Charles 10, Morton 9, Maxim
(sp?) 6, Martha 3, Margaret 10m
After Roswell died in 1849, Margaret married Isaac V. Mack and moved to Iowa some time
after 1853.
Marriage record:
Mack, Isaac V Marriage Apr 10 1852 Sauk
VanOrman, Margaret Mrs Marriage Apr 10 1852 Sauk

By 1880 Isaac has died and Margaret is living with her married son John:

mother
Enumerated on the same page is Malura Hickox, Isaac Mack's sister.
Does anyone have a source for Margaret Castle's maiden name?
