Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on this Castle side of my family. My gg grandfather
Christopher was born 1824-26 in Westmeath, Ireland. He came to America as a boy, but not
sure of when. He lived in Cleveland, OH for 55 years. He was married to a Mary Roberts.
Christopher was only 3'9" to 4' tall. When he was 70 he had at least four
brothers and two sisters surviving him. It is believed that his father's name is
William Castle. I would like to find out more about him.
He had 11 children with Mary. I know of only 10 names-Sarah, William, Agnes, RIchard,
Harry, Frank, Maurice, Florence, Helen, and my great grandfather Gervaise. He was Captain
of the Black Maria in 1861 in Cleveland. He served as a councilman for a number of years
for the City of Cleveland. He is referred to as Major Cassell in one old newspaper and as
Major Castle in an old Cleveland newspaper.
I know this is all over the place, but I am only finding bits and pieces as I go through
all this collection of information handed down to me.
