FG# 6

 Larry Castle who is a match to family group #6 on the Castle yDNA project sent me some information about family group #6 and gave me permission to post his information to the blog site.  There are two members of the project who match to form this family group #6.  Here is Larry's information:

 

Georg Cassel-Castle  b. Abt. 1725 in Germany   d. 1782 Frederick, Maryland    Georg Cassel-Castle married Margaret Fleming.

 

I have seen several researchers who believe  he was from England. However, he first signed his name as Georg Cassel ( German ) and later George Castle ( English ). I have found no ties to England

 

Frederick Maryland was almost all German in those days. Georg attended  the Lutheran  Church and was buried in the Lutheran cemetery in Frederick.   

 

I am unclear of when he came to the US.    He and Margaret had 6 children:

                       Mary, Thomas, John, Geroge T, Margaret, and Joseph.

          My line is: 

Son George T. Castle was born in  1752 Frederick, Md.  d. 1821 Frederick, Md.      He married Mary Weir 

                         They had children James Sampson, Elizabeth, George V, Mary, Thomas, John H P, and Priscilla Ann.

Next generation:  Georg and Mary Weir had son,James Sampson Castle  b. 1778 Frederick, Md.     who died in 1845 in Middletown MD and Married Maria E Tabler

Next generation:  James Samson Castle and Maria E Tabler had eight children:

                            Paraman William, Solomon William, James Edward, Mary Polly, John A, Margaret Ann, George Thomas, Abraham Henry, and Christian Fleming.
