Hi Angela!
I'm not sure if you're even on this forum anymore, but I wanted to check with you and see if you'd found out anything more about Elizabeth Barneycastle.
In some of our later messages between Pat Welch and myself, we've been trying to put together information about Alabama Barneycastles, so you might find those messages above interesting.
In regards to your Pike County ancestors, I have a couple of theories that may or may not be correct.
We believe that James Barneycastle and wife, Mary Sheffield, are the ancestors of the Alabama family.
It is likely that Evans Barneycastle, who appears in the 1830 census (which includes James as well), is the son of James.So far we haven't found more about Evans.
But it is very possible that Evans is the ancestor of the Pike County family.James and his children we know of lived in or near Conecuh, AL.
Here are the Pike County Barna/Barneycastles found so far:
Olive Barnacastle, born c1833 in GA, living with William P. Allen and his family in Pike Co, AL.Nearby is Kirby Wiggins and wife Nancy- the Wiggins family intermarried with Barneycastles often [[source is 1850 AL census]]
E. Barncastle, born c1830 in AL, living with Aster/Auther Burden and his family in Pike Co, AL [[source 1850 census]]
Henry Y. Barneycastle, married Mary Thomas on Dec. 8, 1866, in Pike, AL.I think this is the same Henry Barneycastle who enlisted in Troy, AL, July 29, 1861, and served in 18th AL Regt. Company H, for the Civil War.This regiment recruited from Pike Co among others.
H. T. Barneycastle, enlisted in Atlanta, GA, into 18th AL Regt. Company H - likely a brother of Henry.
James C. Barnacastle, born 1830, farmer, enlisted May 25, 1861, in 5th Battalion, Company A, though he lived in Gainesville so not sure if belongs to Pike County family.
Maybe your Elizabeth is the E. Barncastle found in 1850 census?
Let me know if you have more information, I'd love to add to this family!
