Hi all, I am trying to find out if she is, or if she isn't. I am doing this quickly, so I might get a date or name mixed up here. Also, I do not fully understand who gets what on the Rootweb mail lists, so I "Replied to All" for this important matter Kenderson Castle was married Elizabeth A(nn?) Young. I have her birth, from census 1870, 1880, 1900, & 1910 as being born 1851/52. I also have Elizabeth Ann Young b 2 October 1849, that was the daughter of Henry & Mary (Martin) Young, who disappeared after the 1860 census. Henry Young was the brother of Hezekiah Young Hezekiah Young married Malinda Castle Malinda Castle was daughter of Otho Castle I have Kenerson Castle as the son of John & Malinda (Smith) Castle I have no document evidence, but John and Otho Castle could have been bothers, sons of Joseph Castle (8 October 1763 - 1 June 1835) who's dates were listed in Weiser's and Fogle's church records books for Zion Lutheran Church, Middletown MD. John Castle. shoemaker, is noted in various sources as the progenitor of his branch of the Castle Family in USA I have exhausted my source possibilities on this matter, and would love to hear from anyone who has any knowledge of Castle and/or Young clans in the Middletown Valley MD area.
