My maiden name is Castings. My father was Henry Castings, born in Pleasantville Iowa in 1876. His father Hiriam was from Lancaster, England. He was one of 5 brothers and 4 sisters. None of them Walter. We were always told we were the only Castings in the nation. Have not found the name any place else. JF

I am a member of the Iowa clan. My father Everett was a grandson of Hiriam, his father was Jess, a brother to Hiriam, in addition to my father there was Albert, decessed and Robert living in Albia, Iowa. Robert had 1 son Robert approximately 23 in age,and a daughter Stephanie also in her 20's. Albert had no children. Everett had 2 sons and a daughter. John 54, has a son Greg 23 living in the Des Moines area. Mike, has 2 sons Andrew 23 and Ben 21 both living in Iowa. A daughter Diane lives in Pennsylvania. Jess also had a daughter Lucille Caugh living in Knoxville, she had 3 children Bill, Bob and Norma.

I am the grand daughter of william castings from woodbury ct. I am now married with a 4 year old and twins that will be 2 in may. I was not given much information on my fathers side(castings) so I am curious about my family history for my childrens sake. Please reply with any info you may have.

Some of the Castings clan moved down to Mo., Tenn., and Ga.

Valentine Austin Castings (my great great great grandfather) moved down from New England to the Tennesse/Georgia border. He sired Walter Washington Castings, who sired William Austin and Walter Wastington Jr. (my grandfather and granduncle). William Austin Castings sired William Austin Castings Jr. and Mark Stephen Castings. My father (William) sired myself (Adam Austin Castings) and my brother (Matthew Ross Castings).

I have some documentation which goes back farther than Valentine, maybe that could show where our clans diverged.

Hope this is any help!
