Reply to Judy, re: primary proof of relationship Oliver, son of Samuel
CASTLE.
I, too, am a Castle(11th. gen.), having lots of CASTLE information. I have
been in contact with you several times over the past 8 or 10 years, I
believe. I have a copy of Samuel Castle's will naming grandsons, Amos and
Oliver (Sons of Oliver(who died 1786, age abt 25 yrs.) The will was in the
State Library of Connecticut where I copied it a long time ago(abt 1984 or
so), it is getting rather faded. I must scan it on the computer soon. That
is about as close as I have come to primary proof. Cothren's Ancient
Woodbury lists Oliver as son of Samuel and Abigail, born abt 1761, taken
from the Church Records there. I do not have the original or copy of the
original church record at this time.
Let me know if I can help in any way, I, also replied to Grace. I am
attempting a Web Page for Castle Information as soon as I feel comfortable
with HTML and get it up and going, I will let you know.

I am interested in the connection between your Oliver Castle and
Samuel
Castle/Abigail Northrup. In addition to my own long Castle line, I have a
very large database of other Castles that are, or are likely to be,
descendants of the immigrant, Henry Castle. I have the families above in
the
database and I have Oliver and descendants in it also, but I don't
have
Oliver
definitively connected to parents. I'm interested in the
documentation for
Samuel and Abigial being the parents of Oliver? (I'm not challenging your
information; I just like to have sources, primary if possible, for all of
my
data.)
