Does anyone know of a direct male descendant of Alexander Casteel, of McMinn
Co TN? Such a direct male descendant could performa very great service to
Casteel researchers by submitting a sample of his DNA for analysis. I don't
know that any others of the Tennessee Casteels have submitted, but just a few
submissions might very well sort out all of the complexities in these families.
A descendant would have to be from either Madison or Joseph Casteel.
