On a pretty spring day, we visited 3 cemeteries near Ripley WV where we viewed grave sites of Bob's 7 grandparents. This family plot was on a hill overlooking the Fairplain exit of 77 where we parked by a road we didn't want to navigate and walked.



James Casto is Bob's 3rd great-grandfather. He served in the War of 1812 when he was 29 years old. In 1817, James married Sidney Kessel. They had 12 children. James died in 1866, having lived a long life of 80 years. There is no marker for Sidney though records say she is buried here too. Sidney was 18 years younger and died in 1883.
