Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10618 Surname: Cassel, Castle, Stover, Harman ------------------------- Looking for info on Jacob Cassel/Castle in Orange Co., VA, who is said to have arrived in Phila. on 5 September 1738. This would be the trip of the "Winter Galley", but there is no one with that name on the list. Said to have bought or sold land from/to Jacob Stover around 1740. Later moved farther west to Montgomery Co., and may be identical with the hunter Jacob Castle who appeared in what later became Washington Co., VA. Most especially, looking for any Michael Cassel/Castle who might belong to this family in the 18th century. TIA Sabine

The new video has been announced in the park's "Overlook" visitor guide, but no final date for showing it has yet been set. Update on Exhibit at Byrd Center Claire Comer from SNP reports that the park has added 4 more county maps: Page,Warren, Albemarle, and Greene, so that 7 of the 8 counties from which the park was formed are represented. Also added were representative family panels for each of the new maps. The Rappahannock County map is not yet included because, so far, permission has not been received to conserve and copy it. Unless the park gets that permission, it does not have any immediate plans to expand or change the exhibit. The park will continue to gather visitors' and stakeholders' reactions.
