Another addition to your list:
Charles Barr and Luella Casto divorced. Luella went on to marry my Great
Grandfather James H. Johnson.
They went on to have my grandmother, Verda Marie Johnson.
Jackson Co. Marriages:
* 9 March 1901
* JOHNSON, James H. 20 born Jackson Co./residing Jackson Co. [son of
James B. & Jane J. JOHNSON]
* BARR, Luella 24 born Jackson Co./residing Jackson Co.
I wanted to issue a correction to the Casto Marriages list:
The Jeptha Mason Casto listed was not married to Emazetta Bennett.
Mason Casto's, my great great great grandfather, first name was not Jephtha.
This connection was made along the way through another family's search and
was continued. They are not the same person.
My Mason did marry Miss Bennett.

I am in need of information regarding land transactions the Castos were involved in circa 1800-1836. I've already seen the on-line VA Land Office Patents & Grants site. Does anyone know of another place where I may find info?

Danita I think I Love you!!!!
It is Esker I talked to my mother and he was the youngest at that time. Virginia was the very youngest and Virgil WAS the oldest born 1909, I remembered because my grandfather was friends with Virgil and thats how he met and married Irene Casto. Anyway, Lula Hanlin Casto was Clinton's wife. She died in jan of 1967 I have an obituary clipping but it is on the East coast in my mothers attic. If you want to find Esker Casto or Ira Casto in a census check later in like the 1950, 60's or 70's they will be listed as head of the household of course. Lillian Casto was married to a man named Plummer they lived in Buchannon West Virginia. As for Virgil he married a woman named Hazel and lived in Ohio for a while. Virginia Casto married a man named Lawson and died of cancer.
Thank you soooooo much I can't believe this.

John,
I did some more researching and found an interesting thing. How unusual do you think the name "Esker Casto" might be? Well, in the Social Security Death Index there were 2 listed: 1 that was born in 1886 and died in French Creek in 1972, which fits the description of this one we were talking about earlier. However, the second one was born in 1919 and died in 1978 - fitting the age of the baby in the 1920 census. I checked that census again (Webster Co., WV - ED 148, p. 7, line 29) and that Esker is listed as a son. But maybe he is really a grandson, maybe Esker Jr.???
I have not been able to locate Elias Clinton Casto on the 1900 or 1910 census, which would be a big help. There weren't any households with "Esker Casto" as a head in 1920 WV, but he could have been elsewhere.
Do you know when and where Elias Clinton Casto married Lulu Hanlin? That's an unusual name - Hanlin. I'll do some looking and see if I can find anything about them.
TTYL,
Danita

Oh My GOD!!!
That is my grandmothers family.
I am not real sure of Elias Clintons birth date or death date. I have no more information on him at all.I was told by my grandmother that he died in Pennsylvania(he was there working) from some kind of stomach problems.
Lula Hanlin Casto was born 13 Jan 1882 died 15 Jan 1967
Virgil Casto is still living in Florida,but is dying from brain cancer in a healthcare assisted living home.
Irene Frances Casto Hobbs was born 11 Sept 1912 and died 12 Nov 1999
Ira A Casto born 11 Sept 1912-died 5 March 1993
Lillian G Casto Plummer born 15 April 1915 -died 25 August 1999.
I know there was a brother Esker, and I am led to believe from what my grandmother always said that he was the oldest of the family, he died in the 1970's He lived in French Creek when he died.
There was also a younger sister named Virginia Casto who married a Lawson but she died in her 40's of cancer, she too had twins.
I know that Irene Frances Casto married Harvey Burdette Hobbs prior to 1936, they lived in Richwood, West Virginia on Cherry street and they had(while in West Virginia 3 daughters)
Twins Jo Inis and Jean Iris and Frances Marileen. They moved to North Carolina at that time with a pulp mill in Plymouth North Carolina.
I would also like to know where the middle names come from, however it is a
good idea to use them since the Casto's had so many with the same first
name. Marlene

John,
I found this in the 1920 Webster Co., WV Census:
Casto, Clinton 42
Lula 37
Virgil 10
Iris (?) 7
Jed 7
Lillian 4
Easter (?) 4/12
The handwriting was hard to make out on some of those names. Can you provide the correct children and ages for this couple?
Thanks!
Danita
