Joseph Compton Castner (Maj. General, US Army) father was Cornelius Castner from New
Brunswick, NJ. General Castner's son was Col. Lawrence Varsi (not "Vincent"
as the Castner's Cutthroats writes). How are you related to my grandfather and great
grandfather and gggrandfather? General Castner had 2 sisters that were spinsters and I
believe teachers in New Brunswick, NJ.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Sometimes it takes a while.... I am most grateful for the reference to
"Castner's Cutthroats". The officer was/is a remote relative of mine, and
my cousin and I have been searching for a source on him for years, literally. So I shall
try to purchase the book, forthwith.
You mention that you are sorry to have no connexion with
us.... At our next reunion, you can be assured that we'll adopt you as an honorary
member! R.C.
