My Comment- (4) Jane, m. "Benjamin Jenkins" should read, Benjamin JUNKINS. (8) Meshach m. Catherine Kitzmiller- Daughter of Gaspar Kitzmiller. (10) William m. 2nd Sarah Annie Bowser. ............ Garrett County Marriage Records- William Casteel Widower age 71 (1821) of Garrett County MD Married Nov 6, 1892 Annie Bowser Single age 32 (1860) of Garrett County MD. ............ 1900 Federal census, Maryland, Garrett County, Election District 14 (Oakland area) Enumeration District 48, Sheet 8B, SK Image 48-8B taken June 5.

"Casteel, William", Head, born June 8 1822 age 77 married 55 years (first married ca 1845), Owns his farm, Mortgaged. "Annie", Wife age 37 born July 22 1863, Married 7 years (1892), Mother of two Children, one Living. "William", Son (with an arrow pointing to "Annie") age 4 born July 21, 1895. "Pisel, Catharine V.", Niece, age 13 born Oct. 14, 1886, Servant, did not attend school, but able to read & write. "Bowser, Wallace", Nephew, age 23 born 1877, month not given, Farm Laborer, Unemployed 3 months.
I suspect "William Casteel" (age 4) was the son of Sarah ANNIE Bowser before she married William Casteel, as the older William would have been 73-74 years old when the younger William was born. "Catherine V. Pisel" was the daughter of Andrew Pysell and Annie (Bowser) Casteel's sister, Mary E. (Bowser) Pysell. She was also counted in her parents household in 1900. "Wallace Bowser" was the son of Annie's brother, Jacob Emery Bowser and Susan (Brown) Bowser. -Sam J. Bowser-12/2003
