Well, we did find a few records for the Castleberry's including Wm, [the father],
Joseph, Lacy B, Enoch, being charged with an "Affray" - a public brawl where all
witnesses are in fear of their lives. Jeremiah would have been 17 so we figured he was
there also but not charged due to his age.
Actually, the 2 most common surnames we found in criminal records was Parker [mostly
Martin] and an Odiorn. Those 2 surnames were far more prominent than any other name.
Lewises were also there - mostly for gaming, playing cards, once for racing horses on a
public road.
Logans were sheriffs.
My line is kin to all of those names.
Millers of northern Coosa weren't that common in the criminal records, but I've
researched those Coosa Miller's ancestral lines and they have a history of drinking
and getting into trouble as well - not all families but definitely some - all the way back
to 1785 in SC.
Anyway, the Coosa Castleberry's definitely were strong-willed and didn't back down
from confrontations.
How are you kin to Abel Lewis?
