I was poking around some genealogy sites and found this, written by Debbie Casto in Nov
2000. I couldn't find Debbie's e-mail directly, so please forgive me for using
this list.
I'm looking for a Clyde Casto that might be related to you. He married Wilma CHAPMAN
(of WV) and settled in Columbus Ohio. They had about 12 kids and #7 was Robert Lee born
in 1941. He has a sister named Pauline. Both Clyde and Wilma are deceased.
Any information you might have would be helpful.

I will give you the information that I have on Azariah. Azariah came to America in 1696,
from Wales. He settled in Egg Harbor, New Jersey. He met and married an Irish girl, we do
not know her name. The only child we found on record was William C. Casto who was born in
1717. Do not know his wife name. They had 2 sons, Jonathan and William who settled in
Jackson County.
William was born in Lewis County. He married Pasty Parsons daughter of Captain William
Parsons during the American War of 1812. They moved to Jackson County sometme during the
year of 1812 on Mills Creek, near Mt. Calvary Church in Ripley.
