He was a bugtler in the Civil War. He married SARAH ELIZABETH ROBINSON who was born 1844 in Tennessee. Sarah E., daughter of Phillip Elliot Robinson (b. 1807) married Sarah (Casteel (sp?), daughter of Joseph Casteel. My grandmother told the story of how Sarah ELizabeth and Samuel THomas eloped. SHe climbed out a window and he carried her off on a black horse. Sarah's family (confederate). Samuel's (union). Her dad went after them with a gun. We don't know a lot about the (Casteel (sp?) family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
