I am looking for any information on Columbus C. Castle born Nov. 3, 1858 (according to death certificate) in Georgia. Death certificate lists father at either Tom or Lom Castle. I found Columbus (age 1) on 1860 census living with E. Castle, female who is 43, in Chattooga Valley, Chattooga, Co., GA. She could be his mother or his grandmother as there is also listed a Nancy Castle who is 27. Both E. and Nancy show place of birth as South Carolina. Columbus shows place of birth as Georgia. This census also shows Robertson, age 15 male, and Charles, age 9 male, both born in South Carolina. I found Columbus in 1870 census indexed as McDaniel in Jasper, Marion Co., TN. I believe this is an indexing error because Elizabeth Cassel (age 59) is listed at top of household and then is listed Martha McDaniel, female age 27 born in S.C.. This census also lists William, age 11 male b. S.C., Daniel, age 2 male b. TN, and Charles, age 18 male b. S.C.. I believe William and Daniel are Martha's boys and Charles and Columbus are Elizabeth's. All four boys are listed under Martha with no last names. I find Columbus Castle again in 1900 living with his wife, Rebecca, and their children in Marion Co., TN. Rebecca is listed as Columbus' second marriage. I would like any information that anyone has on his first marriage or his parents. Thank you, Stephanie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
