Hello Castleberry researchers,
I am a new member to the Castleberry list and hope that you nice people
might be willing to help me find my ancestor Nancy Castleberry b. July 4,
1830 d. July 4, 1908. I know very little about Nancy. I know she was
married to John Green Ethridge b. May 7, 1822 in Baldwin Co. Ga.. I have a
copy of the marriage license where she married John Ethridge in Muscogee
Co., Ga. July 4, 1844. They had ten children, Sarah Jane b. 1845, Mary
Elizabeth b. 1847, John Thomas b. 1849, Nancy b. 1852, Martha S. b. 1854,
Wiley Marmaduke b. 1856, Hulda Ann b. 1859, Roann b. 1860, Zachariah
1863, Francis Camillia b. 1869. The second born Mary Elizabeth was my
ancestor. John's family was from Baldwin Co. near Milledgeville. I don't
know where Nancy was from. It made sense that she was from Baldwin Co.
I've seen David, Job and Richard Castleberry's names from Baldwin but don't
know anything about them. If the dates are correct for Nancy's birth she
would have been 14 when she married John. I've wondered if she eloped to
Muscogee Co. or if she was from that county. Both John Green Ethridge and
Nancy Castleberry Ethridge are buried in the Magnet Cove Cemetery near Hot
Springs, Ark. I have looked for this Nancy off and on for many years with
no luck. Can anyone help? Kathy
