<PRE>I think I may be able to help you, at least a little. I have a John Russell
Castleberry born in 1861 to Matthew and Emily Roberts Castleberry. He
married F. N. Rabun (I am guessing this is probably Raburn) January 14, 1880.
Matthew and Emily were married October 14, 1853. Matthew was born June 25,
1825 in Arkansas to David and Perina Castleberry Castleberry, Jr. He died
November 15, 1863 and is buried in Van Buren County, Arkansas. If you
believe this is your line, I can take you back several generations. David
and Perina (Penina in some records) are my ancestors. I have no further
information on John Russell Castleberry. Matthew (Math) was married to a
Cynthia (last name unknown) and they had 8 children. Cynthia died either in
childbirth or shortly after the birth of the eighth child and Matthew married
Emily. I have only one child for them (John Russell). There could have been
more, but I don't have a record of any. She died in November of 1876 and is
buried in Edge, Van Buren County, Arkansas. Let me know if you want any
further information. Shirley
