I was interested in the process. I am considering applying for membership to the Sons of the Republic of Texas through an enslaved ancestor on the Whitaker line.
Beverly, I have looked back at my files of Castleberry and Kelly and I can't find a definite connection to either family. However, names are common in your families and mine. There possibly is a connection. I just don't see it at this time.
I have saved your information and will keep watching for something. I know my Castleberry family lived in Red Banks MS for many years but the patriarch, Jeremiah Castleberry died (Civil War, I think) and his wife and children (wife: Elizabeth Fowler Castleberry) moved to Travis Co TX after his death.
Thanks for your response. I will be in touch if I can turn up anything. Dodie
