Cassell/Castle/Kassel
Is there any connection between these Cassells below and the Mennonite preachers,
Yillis and Heinrich Cassell/Kassel circa early 1600's in southern Germany, and their
future generations in America which are well documented?

Hi Amanda
Many thanks for replying - and I think I know exactly who and how you are
connected to my tree (sorry, our tree).
I have the "complete" Cassell Family Tree going right back to c.1740. You might
be interested to be in touch further - so please don't hesitate to be in direct
contact.
If you are who I think you are please give my regards to Len & Pamela and
everyone else too.
Best regards
George
p.s. Theophilus Cassell was born on 7th July 1839 in Moreton-in-Marsh,
Gloucestershire and is now presumed to have died sometime between 1871 and 1879.
In 1879, is 'widow' re-married and died in 1903 in Badsey, Worcestershire. I
say that Theophilus died between those dates lightly as I have yet to get his
death certificate.
You might be interested to know that our common ancestor who was Reuben
Castle/Cassell (elder brother of Theophilus) died of laryngitis on 25th March
1887 just a few months after his mother Priscilla Phillips (formerly Castle, nee
Joiner), died following a paralysis (stroke). They are buried at Brailes in
Warwickshire, but there is no headstone.
Reuben was one of about 11 children: 8 boys and 3 girls. Our earliest known
ancestor was John Castle and he was married to Mary (nee Edgington). They are
both buried at Chastleton in Oxfordshire and there is a headstone below the west
window of the church. Len's cousin, Gwen Strong works as a volunteer at
Chastleton House which is next door to the church. (Well worth a visit).
