      Casto, Edith L, 5/11/1903, Charles & Mary E Casto, Ripley, farmer

      By process of elmination, the only Charles Casto I could find on the 1880 census was this one, and the 1900 census shows his mother was born in Ohio, which is where Winnie was born. In the 1900 census, Charles and Mary are listed just 3 houses before George and Winnie. It was harder to determine who Mary's parents were, but by process of elimation, the only one of the right approximate age on the 1880 census seems to be the daugher of David & Mary Jane. It looks like all the other Marys are proven to have a definite birthday that does not match the 2/1873 date, and since the DOB is off most of the time in this census, and since she died and Charles remarried, I am guessing this is the right Mary. There are 9 Marys listed with ages that indicate they were born between 1871 and 1875.
