Greetings,
Recently I was informed that there existed a bible belonging to a Casto family that had
once lived in Upshur County, West Virginia. In that bible it listed some Williams family
history. My Williams family was in Lewis County in the 1850. (census records) Barbara
Varner Williams, first wife of John Williams, is buried in the Slab Camp Cemetery near
Abbott, Upshur County.
After John my family tree is:
Solomon and Rachel Hyre Williams (Kanawha Run Cemetery)
Jackson Andrew and Miriah Liggett Williams (he is buried in Indiana, she at Mt. Zion
Cemetery at Holly Grove, Upshur County)
George Marion Williams married Lucinda Tenney (Zirkle Cemetery, Cassity, Randolph County,
WV
Marion and Helen Grabouski Williams (buried at St. Brendan Cemetery, Elkins, Randolph
County.
Joe Williams born in Elkins 1957 (me) I grew up in Mill Creek, Randolph County, WV and
now live in Connecticut.
There were several other Williams men and women that could have been John Williams'
brothers and sister. They include:
Jacob and Sarah Smith-Barbour County
James and Sarah Rough-Randolph County
Peter and Sarah Ellen Lemons-Lewis County
Sarah Sally and Thomas Kennedy-Braxton County
I have been to the family graveyard near Monterey, Virginia. Thomas and Mary Frances
Baldwin were possibly the parents of the above children.
Does anyone have information on this Casto family bible and its contents? I have no proof
to link John to James, Jacob, Peter and Sarah or Thomas.
I have a lot of Williams family data to share if desired.
I do have a Paul Brooks Casto marrying a Claurice Meta Williams. Her father was Jason
Lunsford Williams. Jason's father was Henry O. Williams. He was a son of John and
Barbara Varner Williams. Perhaps this is the family.
Thank you.
