Note: Following that, she cites notes from Dot Crawford's FTM page and one of them is the 1840 Rutherford Co. TN Census:

1840 census of Rutherford Co., TN: William Castleman - male 30-40, female 30-40, 2 females and 1 male 5-10, 2 males 0-5.

The above census supports the existence of Mary Castleman as the eldest child because there are 2 females ages 5-10

[Mary E. Castleman, age 9] in 1840 and her sister Caroline, age 7 along will brother Lewis, age 9. It could not be referring to Nancy as she was not born until two years after the 1840 Census. And it lists Robert, age 4 and David, age 2 accounting for the two males ages 0-5. Son John who was born in 1840 must not have been born yet when the census was taken.
