Hi Jane: I have seen the article on Olive, and did a lot of research on the Shaker
Community in the area, but unfortunately didn't find any records about Olive or her
daughter. From what I understand many of the deaths weren't recorded, so perhaps that
is why I haven't found a death date for Olive. I would have to go back thru some old
paper work but if I remember correctly the Shaker Community where she belonged is now
called Shaker Heights.
I know that Levi and Olive were in Arlington, Bennington, VT by 1764 because I found the
unit he was serving with. I also know that Olive and Levi rented a farm from a man by the
name of "Buck" Again I don't remember the date on that but I believe it was
after the Rev. War. I also don't know if Olive went back to Watertown alone, or if
both she and Levi went back before she divorced him. I would love to get my hands on
church records from St. James Church in Arlington, VT in hopes of finding more about them.
So far no luck on that situation
The newspaper article I found sure open a whole lot of new questions. This portion of the
Castle family has been difficult to pin down. But little by little I am finding more..
If I find more info I will keep you posted.
