First of all, Lawanna... I'm sorry but I don't have your Clyde CASTO in my
family tree database. There are some researchers on this list who have done
extensive research on the CASTO lines.
Second, either I have my information wrong or Debbie Casto has it wrong.
When Debbie says that William C. CASTO b. 1717 had 2 sons, Jonathan &
William -- yes I do have that. But instead of Azariah CASTO as father of
William C. CASTO, I have William CASTO b. abt. 1680 Autuxit, Salem Co., NJ
and d. bef. 1750 Salem Co., NJ as his father. As his mother, I have
Elizabeth ABBOTT b. abt. 1689 Salem Co., NJ. Other children that I have
listed for William and Elizabeth (ABBOTT) CASTO are: David, Rhoda and
Martha.
I hope someone will correct me if I have any information above incorrect.
Next, I have 2 wives listed for William C. CASTO (b. March 10, 1717/18 Salem
Co., NJ and d. Aug. 26, 1778 Cumberland Co., NJ). He m. 1) Purthenia
(Parthenia?) PURPLE abt. 1745. He m. 2) Sarah SMITH(?) abt. 1758 Cumberland
Co., NJ. William C. and Purthenia had the following children: Elizabeth,
Abel, Azariah, Lidea. Purthenia (PURPLE) CASTO died Jan. 6, 1753. Then
William and Sarah (SMITH?) CASTO had: John, Andrew, David, Jonathan,
Jeremiah, William, Jacob, Thomas, Abijah, and Ann.
Again, please let me know if I have incorrect information.
The son of William C. and Sarah (SMITH?) CASTO named William CASTO, Jr. was
b. July 9, 1769 Cumberland Co., NJ and d. Oct. 4, 1837 Cumberland Co., NJ.
He m. Martha GRANT Dec. 11, 1797 Cumberland Co., NJ. She was b. abt. 1770
NJ and d. April 7, 1825 Cumberland Co., NJ.
The CASTO who married Patsy PARSONS in my records is: William CASTO "Devil
Bill" Jr. b. 1790 and d. 1894 Jackson Co., WV. Buried in Old Sinaiville
Cemetery - Staats Mill, Jackson Co., WV. Martha "Patsy" PARSONS b. 1800
Mason Co., VA and d. aft. 1870 Mason Co., WV. Buried in Old Sinaiville
Cemetery - Staats Mill, Jackson Co., WV. William "Devil Bill" CASTO, Jr.
was son of William CASTO b. Jan. 12, 1760 Turkey Point, Cumberland Co., NJ
and d. Dec. 1836 Jackson Co., VA (later WV). William (b. 1760) buried in
Windon Cemetery - Jackson Co., VA. William (b. 1760) m. Hannah BONNETT 1783
Fayette Co., PA. She was b. abt. 1765 Fayette Co., PA and d. 1810 VA.
Now that I've typed the above, I see in my database that William CASTO, Sr.
(b. Jan. 12, 1760) had a wife named Margaret "Patsy" PARSONS and they
married 1816. Hmmm.... I have something wrong here. William Sr. and
William Jr. didn't both marry Martha "Patsy" PARSONS. Someone help please.
Thanks. Lisa
