I believe Bazel Castle's daughter, Elizabeth, was the first wife of Wallace B. "Wal" Rice, my great-granduncle. They were married in 1855. On the 1880 census he has a different wife, Mary Butler, if I'm reading it right, and several children still at home, the oldest born about 1866. What happened to Elizabeth Castle - was it death or divorce? What are the names of Bazel's wife and children? Maybe I can link up all these Castles in my data base. Best regards, ===== Earl B.
