pg 136
John J. Casto, or "Big John" Casto, was a son of John Casto.
He lived on the Elijah Rollins farm for a number of years, but sold it and moved to another place just above George Casto's.
His wife was Gracey McDade, supposed by my informant to be a daughter of the Samuel McDade who was one of the first settlers at the mouth of Mill Creek. [James McDade, not Samuel...b]
They had five sons in the Union Army
