Daniel was killed in Indian Attack
SOLOMON WOOD TO GOVERNOR GEORGE HANDLEY Wood's Fort, Williamson's Swamp 6 miles from Old Town [Washington County] March 14, 1788 May it please Your Honor: The distress of the families in this fork are such as obliges us to call on Your Honor for assistance and aid in men and ammunition. We have been cruelly amused with an idea of a treaty which induced many to return to their plantations in this neighborhood and made us feel more secure than we ought. For on the 12th instant a party of the savages were discovered at the plantation of a mile on the south side of Williamson's Swamp by the barking of the dogs about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Sikes went over the fence to see what they were barking at, when he was fired at by a party of the Indians and received three balls in his arm, shoulder and hip. He got over the fence after this and went to the house, a small distance, and as he went in received a shot which broke his leg. The party also fired at his wife as she stood at the door to receive him but did not hit her. She shot to the door and got to making cartridges, [while] Mr. Sikes in that wounded situation prepared to defend his helpless family of wife and four children. They did not attempt [to attack] the house but went off. A young man from a neighboring family, hearing the guns, came to the house and, seeing Mr. Sikes in that situation, came over to my fort for assistance. I was from the fort at that time when he came, but the young man returned with Allen Spurlock, who took a horse and went to Mr. Sikes's and fixed him on a bed in a sledge with one of his daughters about nine years old, his wife's sister, about sixteen, walking afoot and Mrs. Sikes on horseback with a child behind and one before. In this manner they set out for my fort with Allen Spurlock, the young man, having gone into the swamp to bring off another family. Before they reached the fort they were fired on by a party of Indians in [their] rear. They all run and left the sledge with Mr. Sikes and immediately discovered three Indians between them and the fort, on which they made to get 'round them but were fired on and the young woman and Allen Spurlock were shot down and scalped, as was the other little girl, who had a bottle of rum in her hand and begged they would take that and not kill her. They damned her and her rum and said it was her scalp they wanted. They knocked her down and left her for dead and took her scalp. They then pursued Mrs. Sikes who must with her children [have fallen] into their hands had I not fortunately come to the fort at this time, run to meet her, which when they saw me they run to the swamp. The little girl came to the fort about half an hour afterwards and brought the bottle of rum with her. The next day the same or another party of Indians passed in sight of the fort, after which we buried the three dead. The other little girl is in a likely way to recover. What attention may be paid to the inhabitants above I know not, but certainly we are left in this quarter in a defenseless situation, neither assistance of men or ammunition and without which we cannot attempt to tend the little land we have optioned. To remove to a distance from the savages we cannot, having many of us spent our all in getting here. If we are to cover the settlements less exposed, it is but reasonable we should be supported by them. We have no doubt but Your Honor and the council will give the necessary orders and hope that the commanding officer may be obliged to have them executed.

The following from Melinda German
Thomas Casteel of Cumberland Valley township, Bedford County, PA, born in Prince George County, MD, married in 1779 and was residing in Bedford County, PA as late as 1790 when his family was listed in the Federal census as consisting of himself, four boys under 16 and two females. Both Thomas and his brother Archibald served as privates in Captain Evan Cessna's company of Bedford County militia during the Revolutionary War and after the war were in service in 1789. Before 1798 Thomas Casteel, following the example of the Friend Family, removed with his family to what is now Garrett County, MD, and settled on the old Blooming Rose road about a mile and a half from Friendsville. In 1798 he appeared in the assessment list and in the census of 1800 he was listed in this same neighborhood, Sandy Creek Hundred as the head of a family of ten. (Charles E. Hoye, "Garrett County History of Casteel Family" )Thomas is buried in John Friends Cemetery--Friendsville, Md. It said no date, Pa. Pvt,1 Bn. 32 Pa Militia, Revolutionary War
THE CASTEEL FAMILY.... By CHARLES E. HOYETHOMAS CASTEEL OF THE BLOOMlNG ROSE
One of the pioneer settlers of what is now Garrett County, Maryland, was Thomas Casteel, son of Shadrack and Laurena. He was born in Prince George's County, Maryland, and settled first in Valley Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, where he and his brother, Archibald, served in Captain Evan Cessna's company of Bedford militia during the Revolutionary War.
In the census of 1790, Thomas Casteel is listed as head of a family of five in Bedford County. Prior to 1798, Thomas Casteel migrated to Maryland. He is said to have resided for a time on part of the "Blooming Rose" tract near the Friend settlement, now the Thomas Fike farm, but in 1814 Nathaniel Wallace, for $100, deeded him 73 1/2 acres of "Black Oak Ridge" and 39 3/4 acres of "Narrow Escape," which became the Casteel home near the James McMullen settlement, about two miles southwest of Friendsville, Maryland. On the assessment roll of 1798, Thomas Casteel was assessed with two horses, nine cattle, etc., valued at ? but no land. In the cansus of 1800 he was listed in the same neighborhood, in Sandy Creek Hundred, as head of a family of ten. The pioneer Thomas Casteel and his wife are probably buried in the old Hall graveyard on Blooming Rose.
Among their children were:
(a) Thomas, who appears to have served in a Pennsylvania artillery company in 1813;
(b) Jeremiah, who in 1812 bought at tax sale 273 acres of "The Granary," near the Maryland-Virginia line, and in 1820 was listed as head of a family of nineteen in Preston County, Virginia (now West Virginia).

He rented the Hoye farm at Gap Run from 1840 to 1849, when be bought it. In 1866 he moved to his farm on the Oakland-Deer Park road. Truman W. Casteel, during his life-time judge of the Orphans' Court and a County Commissioner, was a son of Nathan.
CASTEEL ANCESTRY
(The following account of the ancestry of the Casteel family of Maryland and West Virginia is a condensation of the fenilly history as published in the Boston Transcript, 1938, written by Attorney W. Blake Metheny, of Preston County, West Virginia).CAPTAIN EDMOND du CHASTEL de BLANGERVAL, member of a distinguished Flemish family, was the immigrant ancestor of the Casteel family in America. He arrived in Philadelphia and took the oath of allegiance to the proprietor, William Penn on Septernber 10, 1683. The founder of the du Chastcl, or van der Casteel family, was Gilles du Chastel, conseiller to Lous, Count of Flandcrs. Gilles died in 1493 [1403?].
Captain Edmond du Chastel appears to have married Christian Boude or Boone in 1693. She was the daughter of a Swedish immigrant. Captain Chastel became a wealthy merchant in Philadelphia. He also engaged in the lucrative business of privateering and during Queen Anne's War in 1707, and was given command of the sloop "Resolution", under letters of marque to prey upon French and Spanish commerce. By his will, "proved" at Philadelphia March 25, 1712-13, Captain du Chastel left all his property to his widow, Christian. Her will, proved Nevember 25, 1714, devised property to her sons, Samuel and Edmund Castell, and to ber daughter, Christian, who married James Allen.
EDMUND CASTEEL, son of the Captain, moved from Philadelphia to Piscataway Creek in Prince George's County, Maryland. In 1713 he therc surveyed "Casteel," 300 acres, which he patented Decernber 10, 1715. Two of the children of Edmund and Johanna Casteel were Edmund 3d and Meshack Casteel.
EDMUND CASTEEL 3d, of Casteel plantation, Piscataway Parish, left a will, proved March 24, 1772, by which he bequeathed his estate to his widow, Rebecca Casteel, and to their children, Shadrack, Abednego, Francis, Lucy (Athey), and Kezia (Mitchell).
SHADRACH CASTEEL moved to Prince George's County prior to 1773 to Flintstone Creek, in Bedford County, Pennsyivania. He died there and by his will, proved December 10, l795, left his farm to his son, Archibald. The will refers to his wife, Laurena Casteel. and to their children, Thomas, Archibald, Ezedock, Jesse and Elizabeth (Whitecar).
Our Garrett County pioneer, Thomas Casteel, probably moved from Bedford County to the Blooming Rose neighborhood in what was then Allegany County, Maryland, about the time of the death of his father in 1795.
ARMS AND CREST

Data provided by Malinda Geerman:
Horace, 7, is enumerated in the Jesse Casteel household in the 1880 census for Arroyo Grande, CA. The IGI has an Orris V. Casteel as part of Jesse and Mary Stingley Casteel's family. Orris was born 1871 and appears in the 1900 census for Arroyo Grande. In 1910 Orris Casteel is in Kern Co, CA working as a tool dresser on an oil well. He is married for the second time. His wife's name is Francis and they are living next door to a boarding house where William Seely is living. William is also a tool dresser for an oil well. I do not find Orris in an earlier census, nor do I find Horace in a census later than 1880. In my opinion, Horace and Orris are one and the same.
1900 census Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, CA Orris V. Castell is working as a day laborer.
There is a burial listed for Orrin V. Casteel in the family plot of Jesse and Mary Casteel in Arroyo Grande District Cemetery, San Luis Obispo Co, CA. date of death 15 February 1912. There is no marker
California death index says she was born 27 Oct 1873.
