Debbie, I have found James and Sarah Tolley Casto in several censuses, and in each, she is
only 10 years older than the previous one: 22 in 1850, 32 in 1860 and 42 in 1870, so this
would indicate that she was born about 1828. I have not found them in 1880, but in 1900,
James is listed as a widower. "Casto Cousins" states that Sarah died in 1908,
which must be an error.
According to John House as well as "Jackson County in the Wars", I believe Sarah
to be the daughter of William Tolley and Elizabeth Litton, born in Rockbridge County about
1828. Excerpts from both manuscripts as well as census data are on the Pioneer Project:
