Does anyone have a full copy of the will of Edmund du CHASTEL? I see references to the
will which always say:
"The will of Capt. Edmond Du Chastel is very brief and reads in part as
follows..."
I would like to view the entire will and would love to have a copy of the original!
I have been challenged to apply to The Huguenot Society through the CASTEEL'S - might
happen in about 30-40 years at the rate I'm going, trying to figure out all of the
Thomas', Shadrack's!
I did find this morning on
www.footnote.com, the Revolutionary pension application of
Zadock CASTEEL, where he stated that his brother, Thomas Casteel, was drafted for six
months, but Thomas paid Zadoc to serve for him because he was married and had a
family...didn't like to leave them alone. But Thomas did serve at some point according
to the DAR.
Zadock listed his birth date as 17 Jan 1754. I had this birth date attached to
"Ezedoc" CASTEEL, son of Shadrack and Laurena, so that helped clear up one of
the problems in my file. No wonder I couldn't find anything on him!
