Hello,
I am Terry Moore from Oklahoma City, OK. My great grandmother or my grandmother
Moore's mother was Hettie Casteel. She married Jacob Luster. My grandmother's
maiden name was Luster. Anyway, I am a decendant of Zachariah Casteel. I have his last
will and testament dated April 26, 1811. It is said that Zachariah and wife Elizabeth
probably came from Pennsylvania to Greene County, TN before 1795. The Moore family settled
in Greene County, TN and Hardin County, KY then moved to Arkansas. I think they had some
Cherokee and Choctaw indian blood, however it would be hard to prove. I am pretty sure the
Casteel family have some indian blood also, however am not sure if they are on any indian
tribal roles. Zachariah married Rebecca Hartley in 1818. His children were Peter, John,
Edward, Daniel, Jeremiah, Rachel, Margary, Ruth, Mary, Margaret, and Naomi. I am decended
down from Edward who begat Elkannah Casteel born in Greene Co. TN in 1806 or 1807. If you
need any other info!
rmation, I may be able to mail you a couple of things. My great aunt made a family
history book before she died and gave it to each of the Moore cousins. God bless! Hope I
helped you out. Sincerely Terry J. Moore
