Nancy Catherine (JLC) Castleman

John B. Wilson

Their Story

Nancy Catherine Castleman was the last of James & Nancy's children. She was named for her mother and according to what I have heard, looked a lot like her mother. She was born shortly before her father finished medical school at St. Louis, Missouri and was only about a year and a half old when her family moved to Pella in Wise County, Texas. She was only fifteen when she married John Wilson. To learn more about "Kate" and her husband "Kid" Wilson go here.
