Thank you, Danita. That does help clarify things. I had Firmon but
nothing down from him. What I'm confused on is Grace McCORMICK's birth
date
(is it 1860 or 1874?) It looks like in the 1900 census she was age 25? Or
am I confused with the wrong Grace?

Dear Lisa,
By Golly, you're right!
I went this morning and took another look at both sources I used. I don't
know how the 1860 date was determined but I would suggest using the 1874
date. I am inserting an actual picture of the census record which I hope
you will be able to see which shows the 1874 date. Seeing how his age was
43 and hers 25, it's possible he had a first wife but that's just a guess at
this point. I looked around at different information but could not find out
enough to see who her parents were in order to check the 1880 census. Nor
could I find the family in 1910. Maybe someone who has researched Don M.
Casto's line would know more.
