My ancestor, Abraham Calloway Casteel m. Isabel Simpson in AL. They married in AL about 1840, were in MS in 1848 and in St. Franacis Co. AR on the 1850 census. His pattern of migration follows that of Morris Casteel who was in DeKalb Co. AL, then in Pontotoc Co. MS. Can anyone help me with the children of Morris Casteel. I can't find him after the 1860 census in Pontotoc Co. MS. Also the Simpson family is very much tied in with the Simpson Family. Would like the parents of both Abraham and Isabel.

Seeking any additional reliable information (with sources) of Philadelphia residents, ships, and pirates during the period 1683-1714 for a CASTEEL family book.
Edmond du Chastel has been reported to have signed allegiance to William Penn on September 10, 1683..... On May 1, 1693, he married Christian Bom in Philadelphia..... On September 22, 1701, he was appointed administrator of the nuncupative will of "George Lloyd late of the island of Barbados, dated September 17, 1701, and proved September 22, 1701.... His own will was dated April _, 1702, proved March 25, 1713 or 14..... Christian Bon du Chastel, his widow's will was dated September 27, 1714, proved November 25, 1714..... The Du Chastel home in Philadelphia was located on Front street at Morris Alley, later called Gatzmer street, adjoining the home of the first Anthony Morris in what was then a fashionable district of the city.... Edmond Duke Castell is listed as a pirate for whom Captain Thomas Robinson from England came to Philadelphia on June 6, 1697 to confront with no success.... Captain Du Chastel continued his career as a "merchant" and privateers or pirate with honor and profit because during Queen Anne's War he was given command of the sloop "Resolution" under the letters of marquee as the following
abstract indicates: "1707- Nov. 9. Where as her Majesty on the 4 May 1702 declared war against the Kings of France and Spain and whereas Capt. George Roach, John van Lawer and the Hurst Merchants hath equipped the sloop Resolution for a private man of war, Capt. Edmund Du Castell is commissioned Commander....
Capt. Edmond du Chastel is believed to be the immigrant ancestor of the early CASTEEL family line in US. We're seeking additional documented information on the following:
1. When and how did he arrive in the US?
2. Are there records of additional activities at sea or in Philadelphia?
3. Exactly when and where did he die?
4. Are there other records of the sloop "Resolution" or other men named above?
Thanks!

CASTEEL - Mrs. James Casteel, of Percy, died on Saturday, June 9th, of
old age. She was
buried in the Methodist Protestant Graveyard.
Not my Mrs. James Casteel, but she belongs to someone. I hope this
helps.

Marge,
At your request, I am resending the query.
I think my first effort to Casteel... went awry - empty. The LCT website
is _tnlincol(a)rootsweb.com_ (mailto:tnlincol@rootsweb.com) and her e-mail
address and query are below my statement regarding forwarding it to you at the
Casteel website. When I did a "reply" to her, it did not show the
_tnlincol(a)rootsweb.com_ (mailto:tnlincol@rootsweb.com) website.
I have been a subscriber to LCT for a long time. We have a very interesting
person on that site who provides lots of outside information - for instance
- Deed records, census', etc. She is like you - always eager to be of help
and does she ever. You may have seen some of her work on NC deeds. Virginia
Keefer.

Peggy,
I forwarded this query to the Casteel website. Hopefully someone there
will
have an answer for you.

I would like to know when Ouida died. Ouida is the 1/2 sister of my

I do not know where any of these people are buried
