Have you tried researching on any of the German lists I wonder, or any of the other
surname lists that you mentioned?

Hi Diana,
MY earlier for sure Castle is my great-great-great
grandfather, Otho Castle
(178? - 1822), born probably in Middletown Valley,
Frederick County MD.
Sources such as TJC Williams' History of Frederick
County MD, list Otho's
birth as 1792, but I have several independent sources of
indrect evidence
that indicate he was born earlier, perhaps 1782, and no
later than 1787.
Otho married Elizabeth Baker in 1807. Joseph Castle
has been noted a a
"progenitor" of the Castle family, but sources hint that he
might have
arrived in the USA with other family members
(brothers). Sources include
Zion Lutheran Church Middletown MD church records
Otho's father has been noted as Joseph Castle (1763 -
1835), shoemaker,
immigrant
Otho's contemporarary, Thomas Castle, (1783-1845) also of
Mddletown Valley
MD might have been Otho's brother (or cousin)
Kenderson Castle (1848- 1929) son of John and Malinda C
Smith Castle, and
married to Elizabeth Ann Young (1849/51 - 1915) is
also a possible realtive
of Otho. Elizabeth Ann Young could have been the
daughter of Henry and Mary
Martin Young.
My Castle research focus is to determine any
documented connections, or
non-connections, for the above folks.
Diana, thank you for you interest in helping out with the
Castle clans.
My ancestors are strictly German region, and are not
connected to any
English lines as far as I know. Listed spelling
variants include Castle,
Kassel, Cassell, Kassell, Kissell, Cassel, Casle, Kasser,
and Caslett
