Jack, this may be a match for your "Willie" CASTO.Here is what I have in my family tree database:Willia Estella CASTO b. June 5, 1875 Jackson Co., WV and d. 1941.She m. Wiley D. FONTAINE on Oct. 20, 1897 in Jackson Co., WV.Willia Estella CASTO was daughter of Absolom "Abe" Harpold CASTO and Frances Permelia DAWKINS of Sandyville and Ravenswood, Jackson Co., WV.Absolom CASTO was b. Feb. 9, 1843 and d. July 31, 1913.Frances Permelia DAWKINS was b. Feb. 28, 1851 Ravenswood, Jackson Co., WV and died sometime before Absolom, because he remarried Gertrude MCGEE, who is mentioned as his wife in his wife along with daughters Willie E. FONTAINE, A. Gertrude THORNBURG, and Frances F. BURDETTE.I show that this family is in the 1850, 1860 and 1880 Jackson Co., WV census.Absolom was a doctor.He was in the Civil War (1861) military.He died of Bright's Disease.Hope this helps you.I am not directly connected to this line, but I like to as far out as I can on all branches.I am a descendant of the CASTO's who went to OH, MO and UT from NJ.
