Hi Patricia and other CASTOR descendants - I mailed some questions earlier
this afternoon. Here are the rest of my questions:
1. Does anyone have any proof that William CUSTER born 1732 Philadelphia
Co., PA and died 1777 (married to Leah Morgan) was the son of
GEORGE CUSTER b. 1705 in Germantown, PA died Nov. 1, 1755
George was killed by Indians in Blue Mountains, Carbon Co., PA
He was married to Mary Rhodes.
2. Do you know the parents of Susannah ANTRIUM who was married to my
ancestor Abraham CUSTER. Abraham is the father of my great grandmother
DRUSCILLA CUSTER ESSLEY. Abraham had 3 wives and a total of 21
known children
We believe our line to be
WILLIAM CUSTER b 1732 Philadelphia Co., PA married to Leah Morgan
his son WILLIAM CUSTER b. 1756 Botetourt, VA married to Anna Smith
his son ABRAHAM CUSTER B. 1789 in KY died Sept. 25, 1852 in Washington Co., IA
he married Susannah Antrium on July 17, 1825
Until we can prove that George born 1705 was indeed the father of William b.
1732 we are not able to prove the rest of our line to be
1. Reinhart 2. JOHANNES CUSTER B. 1576 3. ARNOLD (ARET) CUSTER
b. 1606 4. PAULUS CUSTER B. 1644 and 5. ARNOLD CUSTER B. 1669
father of George b. 1705.
It would appear that if you name is GEORGE CUSTER you had better stay away
from Indians. That makes two GEORGE CUSTER's killed by Indians but my
ancestor appears not be fighting the Indians just passing through dangerous
lands.
I doubt that I can help any CUSTER researchers as I'm not from the famous
line but I really would like to hear from anyone who has proof that William
b. 1732 was the son of George b. 1705 and thus the grandson of Arnold b.
1669. Thanks - Gloria ESSLEY Carpenter
