Hi Everyone!
I hope someone out there can help me with my Castle line. I have a great
working theory based on circumstantial evidence but no facts, so maybe y'all
can keep me from making some big mistakes! I really need something conclusive
or at least info that I'm working in the right direction and not spinning a
web of lines that are in fact not connected at all.
I descend from a Thomas Alfred Wooten who married Jane Castle. Thomas and Jane
lived in Lawrence County, Kentucky. Jane was born about 1813 and was probably
SARAH Jane Castle, although she went by Jane. Information provided me by a
lookup volunteer said she listed her mother on one census as "Anna Pennix".
In trying to connect her to parents, I found Zedekiah Castle with his wife Ann
or Anna located in Lawrence County, Kentucky. I believe this is the most
likely choice for her parents. Zedekiah was originally from Virginia and was
the son of Jacob Castle. I believe his brother was Bazil Castle. (I've been
able to eliminate Bazil as the probable father.) The proximity of Zedekiah in
censuses to Thomas and Jane and the reoccurence of certain names adds to my
belief that this is the right connection. I have found an Anna Cathey who
married a Joshua Pennix and believe this may have been Zedekiah's wife. Most
of what I'm going on is gut feeling and as I said, proximity and reoccuring
names. I'm praying someone out there knows whether this connection is correct
or not and may be able to help me out. Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Sincerely,
Donna
