Charlotte Casto, daughter of Elijah, and John Green were married in Jackson County, WV
1/20/1853 [JCMR] I have seen this John listed as the son of Edward and Sarah Parsons
Green, and usually lists her name as Rachel Charlotte, which it may have been.
However, there is another John Green who was married to Rachel Manchie or Manchien, who
was born in Germany. Both Johns were born about 1831. The German Rachel was born 1834-1836
and Charlotte Casto seems to have been born about 1838.
Neither couple appear in the Jackson Co 1850 census, only one couple in 1860, but both in
1870, and neither in 1880. I have tracked some of the children. In the death records,
which lists the mother's name in at least 3 cases, the mother is named as Rachel
Manchie/Manchien. In 1900, 3 state that the mother was born in Germany. Charlotte Casto
was not born in Germany. This means that some children have been listed as Casto
descendents who are not. The following census lists most of the children of John and
'German' Rachel:
1870 Jackson Co Mill Creek Dist
John, 37
Rachel C, 36
Henry, 17 [m Airly Jane Morrison]
Sarah E, 14 [m George W Tincher]
Virginia B, 12 [m Adam C Cleek]
Eliza Jane, 9 [m Aaron Pringle]
Flora, 6 [General Floyd] [m Emily Simmons]
Columbia, 1 [m Theodore Dewitt Casto]
Columbus, 1 [ died age 13y]
There was another daughter, Rosa B, born 6/1875 [1900 JCcensus] Looking for her parents is
what got me started on this mess tonight. Rose married Kenna Winter.
If anyone wants the specific records, let me know.
