I would like to be counted as a cousin also.
Have been seeing Castle families all around me in reading gen web and other
queries.
I never resided in Johnson co. Ky. but am desc. from
1.Basel Daniel, son of Edward Daniel and Mary Castle, who I have read is a
descendent of Inman Castle
Edwards` father was George Daniel and Sallie Dorton.
On another line I am descended from
2. Arminti Castle, wife of the above Basil (Baz or Basel) through her
parents, Israel Castle and Susannah Grimm
After reading so many queries on Castles I see that some say Israel is
actually William Israel Castle, son of Inman Castle.
Would this make Basil Daniel and Arminti Castle 1st cousins once removed?
Somone straighten me out if this is incorrect. I don`t mind LOL
I was born at Bonnie Blue or really Virginia Lee, Lee, Virginia as I found
out recently.
I don`t think either place exists anymore and I doubt that I will for much
longer either.
Just being funny with a bit of mountain humor, there.
I just "yearn" to get back to the mountains and go to the Smokeys every
chance I get.
I would so "love" t visit the gravesite of Old Jacob Sr.
I used to wander in the hills of Lee county and Harlan Co. near Benham by
myself for hours on end; guess I`m a true Castle, Huh?
My father was a wild drinking, rough, very intelligent coal miner, Jacob
Castle was on his mother`s side of his family.
I never heard anything to the notion of his being of NA ancestry but always
thought he must be; he was a modern day "long hunter" and would go hunting for
long periods of time; just seemed to enjoy being alone.
I`m old and reminiscent today.
