Needed: Civil War information about Barneycastles
I'm compiling everything I find about any Barneycastles (and Castles who are probably related) regarding Civil War service.I've put together everything I've found from the internet Civil War websites, from the various NC Rosters of Soldiers series, and from the overall Roster of Soldiers.
If anyone has pension information, or personal war service information not found in the various roster books, would you let me know?
What I'm doing right now is requesting pension files from various state archives, hopefully they exist.Unfortunately, the National Archives is so backlogged and mail is such a problem now after the anthrax scare, it takes at least half a year to get anything from them.
Once I put it all together, I'll post it all on this forum.
A brief summary so far- on the Union side: John D Barncastle, CA; James B. Castle, CO; 2 separate George Barneycastles in IL, Charles C Barneycastle NC.
Confederates: James C Barnacastle, JT Barnecastle, Henry Barrycastle in AL, William Barnacastle in FL, Henry Barnacastle LA (tons of Castles in LA), TJ Barnacastle MS,at least 20 Barneycastles in NC and many others in NC that might be related.
I'd especially appreciate information regarding the non-North Carolina families.
Thanks!
Maureen
