Jacob CASTNER, son of Ludwig CASTNER (I), was born in Waldoborough, Maine, March 5, 1783, and died in that town December 2, 1842. He worked on his father's farm during his youth, and his schooling was of a primitive kind. About the time of his marriage in 1811, he bought a hundred acres of land about four miles northeast of the town, cleared away the forest, and built the first frame house in that section. There he spent his life in lumbering and farming. Although afflicted with lameness, he was an energetic and thrifty farmer. Much of the wool that he raised was carded and spun at home. He was a man of much force of character, fixed in his opinions and influential in the community. In religion he was a Universalist, and very liberal in his views. In politics he was a Whig.

He married, July 10, 1811, Sarah BENNER, born at Waldoborough, October 10, 1790, died there November 16, 1866, daughter of Jacob and Sarah (SHERMAN) BENNER of Waldoborough. Her father was a farmer at Filer's Corner in that town.
