Hi:
I got your name from rootsweb, where it was mentioned in connection with the Castleman
line and did a bit of web trafficing, and found your quirie on another genealogy site. My
step-father was Ashley Barbee Castleman b: 1898 in Davidson Co., TN, parents were Thomas
Alexander Castleman and Ida Mai Warren.
My daughter and I have been doing research on our family tree, and as Ashley was not a
blood relative we are only doing a minimal of information on him, and have no need to go
farther back with his line. We have spent weeks sorting through old photographs and
getting my mother to identify our relatives (those I could not identify from the pictures)
and came across a packet of photos of Ashley's family. Knowing how much the photos of
our ancestors mean to us, I did not want to simply throw out the photos of Ashley's
family as I know they would mean something to someone out there.
Ashley had no children of his own, but some of the photos are of his siblings and
relatives. (of course most of them my mother had never met and can not identify).
If you ever come across anyone from his branch of the Castleman's I would appreciate
your pointing them in our direction so that I could send these photographs to them. I
know he had a lot of brothers and sisters and I am sure that at some point one of their
children at least will end up doing a family history on their line and contact other
Castleman's during their search.
As I have in the past switched internet services, I have kept a email account with yahoo
for years now, and it has never changed so for future reference I can be reached at
patchz537(a)yahoo.com, or my daughter can be contacted at gizzy(a)yahoo.com .
As a bit of side information, should anyone from that line contact you at any point,
there does exist in the family (I believe Ashley's sister Viola had it) a family bible
that contains a treasure of family history. I can remember my mother talking about being
shown the bible when she was there at a family reunion.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Patricia Niemin
