I live in the county boarding Forsyth County GA, and have yet met some
Castleberry's. Distante cousens are still in the area. I am willing to
do digital photos for any one who is decendended from the grave yards in
Forsyth. or surounding areas. That is if,, you have directions to the
grave yard itself,,,, and your not in a rush.,,,,
I am from the Line of Asa Castleberry born abt 1772, Died abt 1840,
Property owner from GA. His Father was Thought to Be Richard Castleberry
and Mother Ann Trice. However I have not found His,,, (ASA Castleberrys)
grave. I can use the help if you know where it is.
I am under the impression it is in south west GA somewhere. I'll do the
digital photos at a slow rate. Don't be in a rush, But I will get to
them all.

Subject: Re: [CASTLEBERRY] Castleberrys in Forsythe Co, GA
Reference is made to the posted message of June 19, 2002,
concerning
Castleberrys living or not living at one time in Forsyth County,
Georgia. There were definitely Castleberrys living in Forsyth
County,
Georgia during the mid to late 1800's. There are 52 Castleberry
people
buried in 11 different cemeteries located in Forsyth County. At
the
present time, there are some Castleberrys living in Forsyth
County that
are descendants to some of these 52 people. Some of these same
52
Castleberrys were descendants of William Castleberry, son of
Hendrick
Casselberry/Castleberry. In the Forsyth adjoining counties of
Hall,
Dawson and Lumpkin there were Castleberry people during the same
time
frame. My great, great, great, great grandfather, Elisha
Castleberry
[01/23/1792-4/19/1850] moved his family from Hancock County,
Georgia to
Lumpkin County, Georgia right after the gold strike of [circa]
1830. He
and his wife, Jane [Fields] Castleberry [10/20/1797-06/30/1872],
had ten
children [5 sons and 5 daughters]. Most if not all of Elisha's
sons
remained in and around Lumpkin County area during their
lifetime.
I thought that I would bring this matter to the attention of
those
interested.
