Carolyn, I am working on Casteels, too, and the names in your message are
quite similar to some in my tree. However, your Joseph does not seem to be
in my direct line, so he must be on an outlying branch. Do you know who his
parents were?
My direct branch (going back in time) is:
Emile (nmi) Casteel, father, born 29 Nov 1908 in Joplin, MO, died 9 Sep 1984
in Dallas, TX
Joseph Arthur Casteel, grandfather, born 18 Mar 1874 in Montreal, MO, died
11 Jun 1960 in Deepwater, MO
Elijah Atchley Casteel, great grandfather, born 1847 in Tennessee, died 17
Nov 1905 in Montreal, MO
Joseph Marion Casteel, great great grandfather, born 1804 in Virginia, died
1885 in Camden Co., MO
John Joseph Henry Samuel Casteel, great great great grandfather, born 1777
in Whitemarsh, NC, died Dec 1840 in Camden Co., MO
Joseph Casteel, great great great great grandfather, born 1750 in
Greenbrier, VA, died 1803 in Russell, VA
I have more, but that should be enough for you to possibly establish a link.
As you can see, the names Joseph and Marion are both expressed in my tree.
There is some ambiguity about the order of names for John Joseph Henry
Samuel Casteel--I've seen several different orders, but they all had the
same year of birth. If there is a link between our branches, I'm guessing
it would probably be that your Joseph might be another son of John Joseph
Henry Samuel Casteel; however it is not common for a father to have 2 sons
with the same first name. Another possibility would be that your Joseph
might be a nephew of John Joseph Henry Samuel Casteel. Unfortunately, my
tree does not yet have information on siblings of some of my ancestors.
I am using the Family Tree Builder from My Heritage; I am also a member of
Ancestry.com. So far, My Heritage has been more helpful in extending my
tree.
Regards,
David E. Casteel
