Jesse was enumerated in the 1900 Pike County federal census as a single man who is a log sawyer living as a boarder in the house of Mack Raybon. A log sawyer is someone who saws logs for a sawmill. The Fernwood Lumber Company was the largest logging company at that time.  In the census, his birthday is recorded as May, 1866 but his age is listed as 34 which should be 24.

I have identified an individual with the name Jesse Caston in Pike County with a family. My genealogy research has been unable to definitely  identify Jesse Caston  beyond 1900 at this time.   The search will continue.
