My great grandfather was:
James Frank CASTEEL b 7 Jan 1861 MD d 10 Feb 1920 Swissvale, Allegheny, PA
married Mary Susan KNOST about 1882 (b 27 Aug 1864 PA)
Children:
1. Margaret M. b 23 Jan 1883 m 1904 to Charles HENRY
2. Anna Bell b 21 Jan 1885 d 9 Apr 1885
3. Emma Elizabeth b 21 Aug 1886 d 9 Apr 1889
4. George Harrison b 29 Jul 1888 m Martha ______ (He lived into his
old age)
5. William Hagress b 27 Mar 1891 (He lived into his old age.)
6. James Francis b 10 Dec 1893 d 17 Feb 1894
7. Ruth Naomi b 16 Mar 1897 d 17 Aug 1984 m Alfred Clyde BEARDSLEE
(My Grandparents)
1920 Census for Swissvale, PA says that James Frank CASTEEL's parents were
born in Maryland. I have not checked other censuses yet.
I have been looking at research on the internet regarding Edmond Du Chastel
De Blangerval, who arrived in 1682, and figure that somewhere in his
descendancy I will find James Frank CASTEEL's parents. I would appreciate
any clues or concrete info anyone can share with me!
