Hi! I still haven't had a chance to look at your info. I had trouble with the sign in,
now I got it right, but I haven't had the time. I recently found some info on the 1900
census, after you mentioned the other spelling, I tried inputting that here's what I
found:
Madisonville, Hoplins CO, KY 1900 Census.
CASTEEL, S.T. (I think!), w, m, Aug. 1866, age 33, married 6 years, born in Tenn, father
born in Tenn, Mother born in KY
CASTEEL, CARRIE, wife, w, f, june 1878, age 21, married 6 years, mother of how many
children: 0, 0 living, self, mother and father all born in KY
CASTEEL, LEMON W., son, w,m, feb. 1895, age 5, born KY FATHER BORN IN KY(??) son of
carrie? this is a wierd census report!
CASTEEL, EFFIE M, w, f, may 1898, age 2, born in KY
I couldn't find Lemon on 1910 census so far, but he's on the 1920 census:
Lemon Casteel, 23, KY, father un-US(?) coal miner
Lou Casteel, 20, wife,
Minard (really Bernard), age 3 8/12. (my husband's grandfather)
What is interesting is that the family listed next on the census Rufus J Majors, had 6
kids, the last child on the list was Edgar Casteel, ADOPTED SON, I think it says
he's14, coal miner, father born un-US??!!) Lemon had a brother named Ed. Possible
Edgar. I wonder if their father was dead by this time and the neighbor adopted him?? BUT
if they adopted him wouldn't he have takem their name?
I also found the draft registration card on Lemon Casteel, correct age.
