Hey! I wonder if they are the same branch. MY husband's Castile's are from
Kentucky. But I can't get anywhere with that branch. I was told they came over from
Spain, Barcelona???? Anyway supposedly they stowed away. So nothing can be proven. They
lived like gypsies (his grandfather) so it was hard to have him nailed down anywhere long
enough to register anything. See if you have any of these names in your tree.
Tommy Ray Castile b. 2-14-1942
Bernard Whitson Castile b. 2-14-1917
Leman Whitson Castile b.2-2-1895
Thomas J Castile b. 1853 ?? I haven't proven this. Any of it. The name is something
that was passed down, but not confirmed. Leman settled in Christian, KY (Hopkins County)
Thomas (Tom) was said to be married to a Carrie Wright. (???) They had the following
children: Ed, Ruben, Amanell (b. 1907-1983) and Leman, Leman was married to LouAnna
Blanchard (b. 1892-1973) they had: Bernard Whitson Castile, Dudeaner Castile, Bonnie
Castile, Whitson Castile (died as infant), Ruby Castile (died as infant). This is all I
have, Oh! The rumor is that the "old man Tom" (Thomas) went crazy or something
and shot himself in the head.
