The links are just speculation at this point as I don't know if this Samuel
is the Samuel Nathaniel reputed to be Cisero's father. Is anyone else
working on this line?
I got most of my information from the Factory Creek book, which stated that
John Henry's mother was named Jemima and lived in St Francis Co, AR. I found
her on the 1840 census alone, and arrived at husband John by comparing the
1830 census. The other Casteels listed were Philip, John, & Willis--age
50-60 in 1840; James--30-40;Moses & JW--20-30; & Washington--20-30 in 1830.
As I haven't seen anybody posting about Casteels from AR recently, does
anyone know if these are relatives of the Bedford & Wayne Co Casteels?
William's wife, according to the 1850 Bedford Co, TN census, was Parthenia, b
1818. Anyone know who she was? A second wife? I haven't yet seen them on
another census, as the Census Project for Bedford Co hasn't done the 1860 one
yet.
