Hi all,
I am trying to find out if she is, or if she isn't. I am doing this
quickly, so I might get a date or name mixed up here. Also, I do not fully
understand who gets what on the Rootweb mail lists, so I "Replied to All"
for this important matter
Kenderson Castle was married Elizabeth A(nn?) Young. I have her birth, from
census 1870, 1880, 1900, & 1910 as being born 1851/52.
I also have Elizabeth Ann Young b 2 October 1849, that was the daughter of
Henry & Mary (Martin) Young, who disappeared after the 1860 census.
Henry Young was the brother of Hezekiah Young
Hezekiah Young married Malinda Castle
Malinda Castle was daughter of Otho Castle
I have Kenerson Castle as the son of John & Malinda (Smith) Castle
I have no document evidence, but John and Otho Castle could have been
bothers, sons of Joseph Castle (8 October 1763 - 1 June 1835) who's dates
were listed in Weiser's and Fogle's church records books for Zion Lutheran
Church, Middletown MD.
John Castle. shoemaker, is noted in various sources as the progenitor of his
branch of the Castle Family in USA
I have exhausted my source possibilities on this matter, and would love to
hear from anyone who has any knowledge of Castle and/or Young clans in the
Middletown Valley MD area.
