I found this reference to William Riley Ghastin

It was on this website http://www.rootsweb.com/~mibenzie/Powers.htm

Sarah Powers [Roswell], b. April 6, 1832, Ashtabula County, Ohio, a daughter of Roswell and Sarah (Rugg) Powers; m. (1) William Riley Ghastin, December 10, 1848, Ashtabula Co., OH; m. (2) Samuel Wing around 1858, Ashtabula Co., OH; m. (3?) Bixby?; m. (3) Lucius Garfield, August 10, 1870, Gilmore, Benzie Co., MI; m. (4) Joshua Vaughn, July 28, 1883 Benzie Co., MI; d. September 25, 1888, Blaine Twp., Benzie Co., MI; place of burial unknown.

Sarah was named after her mother.

She married William Riley Ghastin (b. around 1828, PA). They were living next door to Sarah's brother Ephraim Powers in 1850, Richmond, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Together, they had several children, including their first, Emma, born in May, 1850. They divorced, however, in 1856, the same year their last daughter Lavancha was born. Their children were split up and sent off to different families in the area.

I understand from what is posted at this site that William Riley and Sarah Powers Ghastin had six children. I only have five children for them: Emma J., Marquis Roswell, Rosetta, William Louis, and Lavancha. Who would the sixth child have been?

I am descended from Samuel Wing, second husband of Sarah Powers Ghastin. I am also trying to contact Judith Ghastin, who posted at the Wing Family of America site that she was looking for proof of Sarah's marriage to Samuel Wing.

Thank you,

Barbara
