      Father's Birth Place: Jackson co
      Informant: Neely Casto, Williamstown

      Neely is probably her son Cornelius. David Casto married her niece Lelia Chancey. This is a very good example of how messed up the death records can be - they are only as good as the person who gives the info.
      Martha Elizabeth Chancey, her cousin, was born either one day before her, or a year after her - I think probably a year later.
