Proud to say, I am a 6th generation Texan.My great grandfather-5 removed, WILLIAM H.
CASTLEBERRY, came to Texas circa 1835, and I am in possession of a copy of the original
land grant issued to him from the Republic of Texas. His brother, DAVID CASTLEBERRY,
settled in Texas at the same time and also had land grants. These can be documented.They
located in Gregg,Harrison, and Upshur counties. I know that Longview, Tx. is alive with
Castleberry history. I suspect they were from Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina..???? I was never able to establish the controversial Kasselberg (Pa.)
connection to any of this and found a void...then stopped. I don't know what help
this is, but Castleberry history is located in the library of the University of Texas in
Archives and is probably available on micro-film. For whatever it is worth. Perhaps
someone has info for me?? Please e-mail me directly as I am presently busy in another
extensive research project on a different subj!
