David,
This is some of the information I have on Jeptha M. Casto.
He was born July 1, 1825 (source: tombstone info)in Mason Co., VA, son of Daniel & Mary P. (Shamblin) Casto.He married Ameline Jane Cunningham on March 15, 1849 in Jackson Co. VA/WV (Jackson Co. Marriages).He died Oct. 9, 1878 (source: tombstone, although it is possible he died in 1879 since he's listed on the 1880 Mortality Schedule).He is buried in Toronto Kansas (Toronto Township, KS Cem.) and his tombstone says he served in MO Calvary, 4th Co.He was on the 1870 Census - Woodson Co., KS as shown:
Casto, Jeptha M.45 Farm Laborerb. VA
Jane 41 Keeping House b. VA
George W.19 Farm Laborerb. IL
Mary M. 18 Working at Home b. IL
Benjamin F.15 Attending School b.IA
Louisa E.12 Attending School b.MO
Phebe J.5 b. MO
Henry S.2 b. KS
I believe he was in Tazewell Co., IL for the 1850 census but cannot be 100% certain it is him because the name is John, wife Jane, daughter Sarah.His mother and siblings were in Tazewell Co. on the 1850.
Does any of this info match your Jeptha Casto?There was more than one by that name.
