Thank you for the nice compliment Chris. I posted the reply because what I have been
able to find to date has not provided any proof or any documentation of who Floyd Dewitt
Castle's parents were. (Floyd Dewitt Castle, Sr.). We don't know what his
father's name was based on available records for Floyd and for that matter we have no
actual documentation PROVING his mother was Mathilda "Mattie" either.
While it is stated in other trees Mattie's maiden name was Rainwater, they contain no
documentation to prove it. Additionally, later census records I found presumably for the
Mattie who is said to have been Floyd's mother list her year of birth as 1859. If
this Mattie WAS Floyd Dewitt Castle's mother, she would have only been 15 at the time
of his birth.
It would certainly help to know if Floyd had any KNOWN siblings living in Hot Springs,
Arkansas as far as possibly finding proof of who his parents were. At this point based
on the documentation I have found, there isn't available documentation proving Mattie
was his mother and there certainly hasn't been any documentation presented to know who
his father was.
