Dear Lisa,
I have this line a little different than you. Jonathan (1827-1868) was the father of
James Monroe (1845-1890) who married Margaret Watkins (b. abt. 1849) - that is correct.
And they did have a son, Frank Monroe (b. 1875). However, this is where I've got it
differently. I have Jonathan and his wife, Maria Homan (1823-1875) having a son, Frank
John (1856-1915) who married Grace McCormick (abt. 1860-1902). This Frank John (1856) was
the brother of James Monroe (1845). I have it as Don Sr. being the son of Frank John, not
Frank Monroe. This was from The Casto Story and Collections, 1990 by Ina Tuft and Jim
Casto.
As to the ancestry of Jonathan, using the same source, I have his father as Firmon Casto
(1805-1889) who was married to Emelia Cast (1811-abt. 1850). Firmon's father was
Thomas Casto (1776-abt. 1834) who was married to Nancy Heritage (1780-aft. 1862).
Thomas' father was William Casto (1717-1778) and his second wife, Sarah (1736-1803).
I checked the 1900 Ohio Census and found this:
Cuyahoga Co., Cleveland Twp., ED 200, sheet 11A, page 160:
Casto, John b. Nov. 1856 43 married 5 years This would be Frank
John (1856-1915)
Grace b. Oct. 1874 25 2/2 children
Thelma b. Jun 1896 4
Don b. Jan 1898 2
I found Frank M. Casto living in Franklin Co., Mont. Twp., ED 88, sheet 9A, page 161, age
25, b. May 1875, single, living in a rooming house. According to my records, he married
Florence May Andrus in 1902 in California. However, by 1910, he was living in Ohio again
(Cuyahoga Co., ED 0013, visit 320).
Hope this helps!

Ruth had a son, Donald Monroe CASTO Jr. b. 1922. Donald Jr. had a son Donald Monroe CASTO

Thanks for any help.
