Hi there, all. I've been lurking for a while, but I thought I'd finally
post a query.
I'm just starting to work on the Castle side of my family, and I was
wondering if any of you had the following people in your files:
Troy Palmer Castle, b. September 05, 1907, d. March 1984 m. Ethel Craft b.
September 04, 1913 d. December 1984. Their children were Harold Kenneth,
Faye, Frances, Joe, Shirley, Jean and Judy. Troy was a coal miner and did
some carpentry for a while in Richmond, VA.
Troy's father (possibly named Robert?) moved from Castlewood, VA to Coeburn,
VA at some point, probably before Troy was born. "Robert" and his wife had
the following children: Troy Palmer, Lawton, Theodore, Ben, Josephine,
Garland (killed young in a mining accident) and Emma (married Oscar Craft,
Ethel Craft's brother). They probably had at least one more child.
Troy's father was at least 82 years old when he died. "Robert's" wife
died
about 1969 at 92 years old. Her religion prohibited her from going to the
doctor, but she went on the day before she died. She probably died at home.
Unfortunately, this is all I have for my Dad's side of the family. If you
have any clues, I'd certainly appreciate them.
Thanks,
-Nicole
