    From SCM:
    Phebe married John around 1782. They lived a short time in Kingsbury, Washington Co, NY and in 1787 they moved Otsego, Otsego Co, thence to Middlebury for 20 years, thence to Smithfield, Madison Co, NY for 5 years, thence to Cazenovia for a year or two, thence to Columbus, Chenango Co, for about the same time, and thence to Richfield, Otsego Co, where they remained. Both Phebe and John are buried in a cemetery at Schuyler Lake, NY about 20 miles south of Frankfort. David STEWART was granted administration of the estate in 1848.

    From family papers:
    A handwritten note by Phebe's gr-grandson Clifford SAWYER showed same children as above, except Lucinda (b. 12 Oct 1803, d. 1 Jun 1842) and Lewis (b. 2 Aug 1806, d. 31 Jan 1879).

    Below are pictures of a Mr. and Mrs. CASTLE, taken at Waupun probably c1880. They were included in a photo album put together by Benjamin Carpenter SAWYER as a present to his wife and included pictures of them, their children and others. Benjamin's son John Decker SAWYER married Carrie RACE, a great-granddaughter of the Phebe CASTLE of this page, so its likely that Mr. and Mrs. CASTLE were relatives of hers living in the area at the time.
