I think Grant Castner was actually Ulysses Grant Castner, son of John Calvin Knox Castner.
Ulysses was born 6 Dec 1863, and is listed with his parents & siblings in Belvidere,
Warren, NJ in 1870 & 1880 censuses. In 1900 census he is boarding with Frederick
Kampen in Trenton with his sister Ida, and working as an agent for the Union News. In
1910, he's still in Trenton with a wife, Frances S, and children Theodore, 5, &
Eleanor, 2. Does this sound like the person you're looking for?
His parents were John C.K. b. 12 Jun 1822, d. 8 Mar 1895 and Ellen Lowery b. abt 1830 in
PA. Grandparents: Rev. Jacob Randolph Castner b. 24 Jul 1785 Liberty Corner, Somerset,
NJ, d. 19 Mar 1848, and Sarah Schaeffer b. 9 Feb 1795, d. 24 May 1868. GrGrands Peter
Castner and Margaret Compton. Grgrgrand: Jacob.
