Hello to all!
I am new to your Castleberry list. I am interested in hearing from
all descendants of our Henry & Catherine Castleberry emigrant ancestors
who settled in Germantown, Penn.
I have a large data base of Castleberry info after 14 years of research
and always glad to hear from Castleberry cousins and happy to share my
info and exchange family info.
I descend from: William Castleberry & his wife Lucretia. William made
his Will 1812 in Jackson County, Georgia (was witnessed by his brothers
Mark & Odam Castleberry). William died Ca. 1814-1818. Lucretia moved
the family to Lawrence County, ALABAMA in time to be included on the 1820
census there; then on to Mc Nairy County, TENNESSEE for the 1830-1850
censuses. Lucretia was 75 years old on the 1850 census. From
extensive research I believe the following to be their children:
1. William Castleberry born 1790-1800 d. after 1880 in Arkansas.
2. John Castleberry born April 1797 --married 04 Dec. 1823 in Lawrence
County, Alabama to Rebecca OSBORN.
3. Odam (or Adam) Castleberry b. Ca. 1800-1810 died in Mc Nairy
County, Tenn. Married in Lawrence County, Alabama to Jane HENRY.
4. Mark Castleberry ( * my ancestor) b. 1802-03. Married Ca. 1820-1825
, died After 1870 in Polk County, Arkansas. Married twice, first Ca.
1820-1825 to unknown and secondly in 1850 - Alcorn Co. Mississippi
(neighboring couny of Mc Nairy County, Tenn) to Rhoda SMITH.
5. Lucretia Castleberry b. 1808 married 22 Nov. 1825 in Lawerence Co.
Alabama to Joseph BURKS(ES). Died in McNairy County, Tenn after 1860.
6. Isaac Castleberry born Ca. 1815 died in Mc Nairy Co. Tenn.
There were probably other children. Would especially like to hear
from anyone with additions or corrections to this family. Thanks alot
for the Castleberry list!
I am seeking a marriage record Ca. 1820-1825 (probably in Lawrence Co.
Alabama area) for my ancestor Mark Castleberry's first marriage as I
descend from this union (* above). Would be most greatful for any
information or ANY clues anyone might be able to offer. Just as a
note: Mark Castleberry who married Mary WARREN 1820 in Hall County,
Georgia was a first cousin to my ancestor Mark Castleberry (* above).
Thanks,
