Here are tidbits of Bonde information that might interest you.and there is a Casteel
marriage fo a James Allen.
BONDE
To return now to Captain Edmond Du Chastel De Blangerval, (Casteel) married Christian
Bonde May 1, 1693
also of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd ser, vol 8, pg viii.) who was the
sister of Abraham Bonde (will of Edmond de
Chastel, cit. supra.) and Wenetie Bonde wife of Jerimiah Collett(will of Christian Bonde
du Chastel, cit supra; Gilbert Cope MS.
Coil., Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, tittles Bonde, Boon,Collett). The Early
Philadelphia and Delaware County records containfrequent references to the Bonde family,
now called Boon, founded byAnders Svenson Bonde who came from Sweden with Munuit or
Hollander.(Historical Atlas of Delaware County , PA.," pp ix , xiii, xx, and maps
nos. 6. 16; H.D. Paxson, "Where Pennsylvania History Began,"pp210,11,16,18,29;
Pennsylvania Magazine, vol 7, pp106-107.) In the
1693 tax list for Philadelphia County " Andr Swanson Boon," who had"Three
sons of Age" living at home was assesst L350 and possessed 750acres of land.
Christian Boande was probably his Granddaughter as sheis not mentioned in his will, dated
April 18, 1696, proved June 1,1696 ( Phila., book A, page 339) which names wife Anneka;
sons Swan,Peter, Hance, Neeles, Andreasa, Wolla ans Ambeo Jr.; and three daughters. No
genealogy of this Swedish Colonial family has come to my
attention, although the Bondes were a distinguished noble family inSweden
(Bertil-Boethius, "Svenskt Biografisht Lexikon," Vol. 5, pages303-412, article
Bonde; J.B. Rietstap, op. cit. supra."). The Du Chastel home in Philadelphia was
located on Front street
at Morris Alley, now called Gatzmer street, adjioning the home of the first Anthony
Morris in what was then a fashionable district of thecity (Philadelphia Co. deeds, book
Book E., No. 2, L.A., page 171;Book E, No. 3, pages 50, 245; deed in Exemplification
Record, Vol. 7,page 78; R.C. Moon, (The Morris Family of Philadelphia," Vol. 1, page
46). From the inventories of the estates of the Captain and his widow it appears that
their residence was a comfortable two-story dwelling with a room for the servants on the
second flor. In size and style it probably resembled the Morris mansion described by Dr.
Moon, as the 1693 assessment for the two neighbors was the same, L800 (Pennsylvania
Magazine," Vol. 8, Page 87 etc.). As judged by the assessment of that
year there were but four colonists possessing greater wealth than Captain Du Chastel and
Anthony Morris.

CAPTAIN EDMOND du CHASTEL de BLANGERVAL, member of a distinguished Flemish
family, was the immigrant ancestor of the Casteel family in
America. He arrived in Philadelphia and took the oath of allegiance to the
proprietor, William Penn on Septernber 10, 1683. The founder of the du=0A Chastel,
or van der Casteel family, was Gilles du Chastel, conseiller to Lous, Count
of Flandcrs. Gilles died in 1493 [1403?]. Captain Edmond du Chastel appears to have
married Christian Bonde in 1693. She was the daughter of a Swedish immigrant.=09
Captain Chastel became a wealthy merchant in Philadelphia. He also
engaged in the lucrative business of privateering and during Queen Anne'sWar= Iin
1707, and was given command of the sloop "Resolution", under letters of rnarque
to prey upon French and Spanish commerce. By his will, "proved" at
Philadelphia March 25, 1712-13, Captain du Chastel left all his property to his widow,
Christian. Her will, proved Nevember 25, 1714, devised property to her sons, Samuel and
Edmund Castell, and to ber daughter, Christian, who married James Allen.

Pirate and Privateer. At the close of the seventeeth century the port
of Philadelphia was a veritable haven for the pirates that preyed upon
the Spanish and French shipping in time of war under letters of
marque; and in time of peace on any ship they dared board. It was the
practice of wealthy Philadephians to outfit ships with arms, rum and
supllies and send them to the pirates of Madagascar who could offer in
exchange the cargos taken from India merchantmen. So great was the
complaint of Colonial shippers that the Admirality sent Captain Thomas
Robinson from England with a commission to put an end to pirarcy in
Philadelphia.
The report of the commissioner to has superior, the Earl of
Romney, describes his visit to Philadelphia on June 6. 1697, and
complains of his lack of success in "That there were warrants out for
apprehending Charles Goss, Edmond Du Castell, --George Thompson--, Adam Birth, and James
Miller and Pyrates notwithstanding which they were publickly and dayly seen up and down
the streets of Philadelphia
without any notice taken of them.("Archives of Maryland," vol. 23,
page 161; Vol. 25, page 569.)
'The Pyrats were much alarm'd at that time," wrote Matthew
Vanderheydens on July 15, 1697, "beingI was tould Occasion'd by
Captain Thomas Robinson his Comming up there with some Commission to
call them to Accot... Ibid, Vol. 23, page 163.)
Apparently Captain Du Chastel continued his career as a "merchant"
and privateersman or pyrate as the commissioner called him with honor
and profit; because during Queen Anne's War he was given command of
the sloop "Resolution" under the letters of marque 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 Spaine 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. p. 52 ("Publications of the
Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania," vol. 6 page 287; original in

Did you know he was a Heugonot?? From what I have read so far, he had a relation who
was a Catholic Bishop in Flanders. I don't have those records readily available as I
am a member of Ancestry and I have been reading alot of their historical records there and
adding them to my family website. What started me on this search was the fact my
grandfather didn't personally know his father. Now I have connections going way back.
Thanks to G-d!!
If you want more info. I'll attempt to send it you. Please let me know if this is
enough. Thank-you! Cousin Colleen
