I was happy to see your posting. My grandmother was Elmira Castleberry(Richard Watkins,
Aaron Trice II, Aaron Trice). There appears to be uncertainty among the Castleberry
researchers as to who was the first wife of Aaron Trice Castleberry. If your notes are
substantiated they will clear up this uncertainty. I have not seen a birthdate before for
Aaron Trice. Where did you get your date?
For your information, the children of Richard Castleberry and Anna Trice are Edward,
Isaac, Asa Edwin, John Richard, David Trice, Job (or Joab), Aaron Trice and Ann.
The children of Aaron Trice and his first wife are William H., Stephen Howard, Joseph,
Aaron Trice II and possibly Anne, Polly and Milly.
The children of Aaron Trice and Sarah Cornelia Cunningham are James, David A., Edward,
Richard, Andrew, Angelina, Sarah Ann and Amanda.
