Margaret Casteel was a sister to my great grandfather Solomon Casteel. Solomon Burch Raymond Burch Jeff Burch Sarah Burch Tina Burch I don't have who any of the Burch's married, just names. I do have that Amanda Casteel married John Burch, but not who his parents were. The only Martha Friend I have is married to Jerry Sweitzer, so I can't help you there. My grandmother was a Sisler, and her mother a Sypolt, and she married H. H. Casteel. Then I married a Friend. So I am somewhat aquainted with some of these names.
