I am having a terrible time iwth my CASTLES. I have Asa Castle s/o Johial Castle and Easter Ann Bowlin s/o Benjamin and Elizabeth Saylers (my gggggrandparents). If it is one of the same is was a brother to my Madison CASTLE, my ggggrandfather who was killed in Civil War in 1863 by guerillas in Floyd Co. Madison md: Leah Jane Preston who married John Borders after Madison died. But the only thing I can find on Leah is her marriage record to John Borders, and of course, the marriage record for her and Madison.
