Hello,
I have a little on your family, although I did not have the son Burl listed before you
sent this E-mail.
Here is a brief file below. My husband is from the same line as yours, we believe: John
& Martha CASTLEMAN/CASSELMAN of Davidson Co., TN., through their son Henry who married
Elizabeth GILLESPIE. Dorothy H. Crawford has done an enormous amount of research on these
lines. Her data has been entered at
www.ancestry.com at this URL:
http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dorothycrawford&...
You will find lots of family information from her work.
Please do share with us all the information you have gathered on your wife's line.
Hope this helps,
Janice Mauldin Castleman

Hi group-
My name is Larry Gray Ruff.
Mary Janet Woodard Ruff's (my wife) gGrandfather was John T. Castleman. He was born
abt 1848 in TN and married Erthusia or Lathursy (spelling very hard to read on census
record) Spencer January 13, 1867. Their son Burl, whose name was changed later, was born
January 5, 1883.
We are looking for any information on this family. We 'd also be glad to share the
info we already have.
Surname list: CASTMAN, CASTLEMAN, FUNDERBURK, SPENCER
Thanks,
Larry
