According to the death of a child, his wife was Adelaide Sheldon. The records state that he was buried in MUD CREEK. Where is Mud Creek? The 1874 directory does not list him in Carroll, Kiantone, Poland, Busti or Ellicott. The Wiltsie Family Records do not place him.

A son Samuel, born March 29, 1793 I Cambridge, Washington Co., NY, married Lydia Ingram, nee Chatfield, born Sept. 14, 1802. By her previous marriage to ___ Ingram, she had two children, Dwight and Mary Ann. Miss Woods who sent this letter, differs from the monument. She says Lydia died in 1831 in Owego, NY, aged 29.

They had a son Castle Jr., born 1837 (no death date), who married Aurilla Cowden, born 1846 in Sherman. She died in Gerry Nov. 24, 1904, age 68. They are buried in the Gerry (village) Cemetery.
