Dear James, this is fantastic!!! I am a descendant of the
"Castile"/"Casteel" line. This is what I have.
I have a great great great grandmother Emily Castile/Casteel! born aprx.
around 1848. I do know that some of them ended up in Ill after that.
because one of their son's (Robert Jr.) married a Lizzie Kerberich in
Ill.(My great great grandmother)
From a Census sheet- June 8, 1880- Rock Township, Jefferson County Mo.
page
no. 14, Enumeration dist No. 197
line numbers 44-48. As follows:
Castile, Robert- W(white) - M(married) - age 35- checked married -
Laborer-both parents from Tenn. He was born in Tenn.
line 45: Emiline Castile, W(white)- F(female) - M(married)- age 32- house
keeper- both parents born in MO. I can't tell where she was born.
line 46: Sophi age 11 daughter
line 47: Robert Jr. age 9 son
line 48: Charles age 6 son
It would be so cool if we are indeed connected- I have been trying to track
down this side of the family. Robert and Emiline are as far as I have been
able to go back. And because of problems in the family somewhere's there
after (divorces etc.,)no records were kept. This is interesting on the
scottish side. I haven't heard anything of that. What a wonderful link.
I am interested in anything you have---- I am a descendant of Emily's
through Robert Jr., I have my tree down from him if you would like.
Thankyou so much Colleen Lopez
**IF we are connected I would be happy to mail you copies of what I have if
you'll do the same?
