It is almost Thanksgiving. FTDNA has dna tests on sale until Nov 30th. I continue to try to find participants who have good paper trail to Jacob Castle who founded Castlewoods, Virginia as well as one who has good paper trail to the Kasell family found in Lancaster County, Pa in the 1700s. I would like dna proof that Jacob was born and baptized in Lancaster.
While looking at Castle trees on Ancestry, I found one that belongs to Monell Servis. She has a timeline for Jacob Jr. Jacob seems to have been married at least twice. According to this tree his first wife was Mary Shane. His second wife was Jemimey Hensley. He married her in 1786 in Washington County, VA. According to this tree, Jacob's son Zedekiah was born shortly after the marriage. Zedekiah is my ancestor and my information agrees with this tree that that is likely birth date for Zedekiah. This would mean that I have a mother for my ancestor. I want to explore this thought in this blog post.
Of course, the first place I will look for Hensley information is on Marty Grant's site. I was not patient enough to find anything. Next I'll look at Ancestry
