Including Descendants of Heinrich Kesselberg, born 1661
and Our Burks Family 

Generations One - Two

Heinrich Kesselberg was baptized on 1 Oct. 1661 in the Evangelical Reformed Church at Mulheim on the Ruhr in Baakendorf, County of Broich (Burgee), Germany.   His father was Heinrich Kesselberg and his mother was unknown Keinburch.  Heinrich Kesselberg arrived in Pennsylvania on board the ship Concord in 1683, at the age of twenty-two.  

He was naturalized on 7 Mar 1691 and again, for some technical reason, in 1708. His Anglicized  name  became Henry Castleberry.  He purchased 89 acres of land on 22 Jun 1709 from Edward Farmer in Farmerstown, PA, which is in the vicinity of the present Whitemarsh Post Office in Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County; about eight miles northwest of Germantown, PA.  He married Catherine Levering sometime between 1695 and 1698. Henry died in March 1729 and Catherine died in 1767 or 1768, both in Germantown, PA. 

The children of Henry and Catherine Castleberry were:
  2i. Derrick Castleberry:  b. unknown - d 1765

   3i. William Castleberry: b 1737, d. in Jackson County, GA Jul 1813 was the oldest son of William and Margaret; fought against the Regulators at the  Battle of Alamauc in 1771.  He m. (1)Sarah Martin and, after her death, m. (2)Lucretia unknown.  His will was probated in Jackson County, GA,  in 1813  before William Nesbit (the half-brother of Elizabeth Carroll).  He is probably the  grandfather of James Castleberry. His first wife, Sarah Martin, was daughter of Ralph Martin of Londoun County, VA;  This William bought land in Richmond County, VA, in 1769 (north side of Germany Creek).  He had three children, according to the land grant.  His will in 1813 was witnessed by Odean, probably a son, and by Mark, probably a nephew raised by William after Mark's father, John, was killed by Tories.  This will was probated in Jackson County, GA, before Justice of the Peace William Nesbit, the half-brother of Elizabeth Carroll (wife of James Castleberry). 
The children of William and Sarah Martin were:
  4i. William Martin: b 1755, d 1837 in Hopkins County, KY. 
  4ii. Paul: b 1 Mar 1761 on the Tar River in N.C. (or VA), d 16 Jun 1841.

C.  He was in the 1805 land lottery of Jackson County, GA.  A Revolutionary War pension application was made out on him by Mrs. Mary Barnes, widow of Jones Hill, a Revolutionary War soldier from TN.  She was 51 years old on 3 March 1846 when she married David Castleberry, age 75. He died 12 June 1856 in Van Buren County, AR. He probably had a son, David.

Lucretia Castleberry b. 1775 - d. after 1850
Second Wife of twice- married William Castleberry
Lucretia Castleberry's maiden name is unknown.  She was born in 1775 and died after 1850 in McNairy County, TN.  She married William Castleberry ca 1800 and was his second wife.   He died in Jackson County, GA, in 1813 at the age of 76. Not long after his death Lucretia and her  children migrated to Lawrence County, AL, which is in the north central part of the state.  She is  listed there in the 1820 census with six children in her household, four males and two females. Four of these were: Odum b. ca 1800, d. ca 1838, Mark b.1803 d. ?, Lucretia b. 1811 d. ?, and Isaac b. 1814 d. ?.  Living nearby Lucretia and her family in 1820 is William Castleberry with a wife and three children, two males and one female. This William may be the brother of James Castleberry [1].  If so he would be Lucretia's step-grandson.  He undoubtedly had quite a lot to do with Lucretia's move to Lawrence County, AL, having arrived earlier or perhaps migrating from Georgia with her. 

The children of William and his second wife, Lucretia were:

  4vi. Odum Castleberry:  b ca 1800 and d 1838, he m. Jane Henry in Lawrence County, AL, on 12 Aug 1823. They later moved to McNairy County, TN, where at least  two sons and four daughters were born before 1840.  Odum died in McNairy County before 1840. He is in the 1830 McNairy County census.  Jane is listed in the 1840 census but not in the 1850 census.
 4vii. Mark Castleberry: Born ca 1803, he was probably living in Lawrence County, AL, in 1820 with his mother.  He is in the McNairy County, TN, census in 1830 and 1840 and in Tishomingo County, MS, in the 1850 census. He had four sons and four daughters born between 1825 and 1840.  Some of them  were: Thomas, Lucretia, Jane, Joseph, and Mark . William, age 20, in the 1850 Tishomingo County, MS, census may be an older son[1]. Mark's first wife died.  He married Rhoda Smith in Tishomingo County on 10 Mar 1850.  Her brother,  John S. Smith,  married Nancy B. Castleberry in Tishomingo County on 25 July 1849. Nancy was the daughter of James and Elizabeth Castleberry making Mark's father, William, her great grandfather!
 4viii. Lucretia Castleberry: Born ca 1811.  Married Joseph Burks in Lawrence County, AL, on 22 Nov 1825.  They moved to McNairy County, TN, soon thereafter. He died before 1860.  She was still living there in 1870.
One of the children of Joseph and Lucretia Burks was:
  5xxxxiii. Joseph Marcus Burks, b. ? probably in McNairy Co. TN.; he m. Mary Elizabeth Cornelius.

   One of the children that Joseph and Mary Elizabeth had was:
      6xviii. Joseph Marcus Burke, b. 28 Feb 1868, Corinth, Alcorn Co., MS; m. Lucinda Hampton, abt. 1894, probably in Blue County, IT.

 4ix. Isaac Castleberry:  Born ca 1814. Was also undoubtedly in Lawrence County, AL in 1820 with his mother.  He migrated to McNairy County, TN, with  his mother's family ca 1828.  He is not listed separately in the 1830 McNairy County census, meaning that he is still in his mothers' household.  He is listed in the 1840 census and has his wife, Elizabeth House (?), two daughters,  and his mother, Lucretia, living with him.  The 1850 census: Isaac 36, his wife, Elizabeth 26, his mother, Lucretia  75, and his children, below.   In the 1860 census Lucretia' name  does not show up.  In the 1870 census Isaac occupation is given as physician.
Children of Isaac and Elizabeth are:
  5xxxi. Tennessee A., 9
  5xxxii. William W., 8
  5xxxiii. Samuel M., 6
  5xxxiv. Sarah M. 3
  5xxxv. Caroline House, 15
  5xxxvi. Jefferson, 9 months.
Additional children in 1870  are: 
  5xxxvii. Leona Alice, 16
  5xxxviii. Mary B., 14
  5xxxix. George C., 8.   

   Other Castleberry relatives residing with Isaac in 1870 were:

 In 1820 Lucretia Castleberry and her family were residents of Lawrence County, AL, according to the census.  She moved  from Gwinnett County, GA, where she had been married to William Castleberry, who died in 1813.  Sometime after 1813 she and her four children, Odum, Mark, Lucretia, and Isaac made the big move west to the newly created state of Alabama.  Living close to Lucretia in 1820 was a William Castleberry who was undoubtedly a relative,  perhaps a grandson, of her husband by his first marriage.  He had a wife and three children. NOTE: There is a William Castleberry, born in Alabama ca 1824, and living in Monroe County, MS, in 1850.  Could he be one of the three children of this William Castleberry?  Later, in 1830,  William is living in McNairy County, TN, near Lucretia and her family. No trace of William has been discovered after 1830.  If he is the grandson of Lucretia's husband he may be a brother of the James Castleberry that moved to Tishomingo County, MS, in 1840 with his family.  Tishomingo County is just south of McNairy County, TN.

The migration from north Georgia to Alabama by Castleberry members  was apparently not uncommon.  In the 1820 Conecuh County, AL, census there is a Job Castleberry listed. And there were others, as well.

In the 1820 Tennessee census there are a Joseph Caselberry family and a John Caselberry family listed in Robertson County (on the Kentucky line almost due north of Nashville).

In the 1830 Tennessee census Lucretia and William, mentioned above, are listed in McNairy County.  Also listed is Odum and his family, Odum being Lucretia's oldest son; Mark and his family, Mark being another son;  and Joseph Burks who married Lucretia's daughter, Lucretia, in Lawrence County,  AL, in 1825.   In nearby Maury County there is a John Castleberry family listed.

In the 1840 Tennessee census Lucretia has moved into the household of her youngest son, Isaac, and his wife Elizabeth. Odum has died and his wife Jane is the head of that household.  Mark and his family and Joseph and Lucretia Burks are also listed.  They are all residing in McNairy County.  In Tishomingo County, MS, just a few miles south, James Castleberry and his family are new homesteaders.  James Castleberry is Lucretia's step-grandson, i.e., Lucretia's deceased husband, William Castleberry, is James' grandfather. This family connection must have contributed to James Castleberry's decision to move to Tishomingo County. Making the move with him was his wife and thirteen children, plus a son-in-law.  About 65 miles due west of McNairy County in Giles County, TN, two Castleberry families are listed in the 1840 census.  They are J. Castleberry and Susan Castleberry.  

In the 1850 Tennessee census the Joseph Burks and Isaac Castleberry families are listed in McNairy County.  Lucretia is 75 and still living with Isaac. Mark has moved to Tishomingo County, MS.   His wife, Jane, died and he married Rhoda Smith there on 10 Mar 1850. A new family in McNairy County  is  that of  William Castleberry, age 26 and born in Alabama.  In Giles County are Susan Castleberry, age 53 and born in Alabama,  W. Castleberry, age 26 and born in Tennessee.   In St. Clair County is Franklin Castleberry, age 31,  and born in Tennessee.  

At some point after the 1850 census and before the birth of Joseph Marcus Burks on February 28, 1868, the Burks family moved to Corinth, Alcorn Co., MS.  This is not a great distance; Alcorn Co. is just directly south of McNairy Co, TN. But then, at some other point, before "abt. 1894" Joseph left the close knit family group that had been settled in this part of the country for a long time, and he journeyed to Indian Territory... however, at this time they were preparing to open it up for homestead.  The opening of the Oklahoma Territory to homestead has never been duplicated.  More than 50,000 people had gathered, and once they were there they had to set up tents or arrange for housing while they waited for the opening. They had to have a horse, or buggy, or wagon, to get to good land.  They all lined up in a row, and at the firing of a gun to begin the "run" for homestead land, pandemonium raged!  This "run" was made on September 16, 1893, so it is very possible that this highly publicized event, and the resulting demand for labor and need for workers drew Joseph to the Oklahoma Territory. This event took place just a year before he married our Lucinda.  After the Civil War, life in the southern states was not what it had been before, and some places, some families, were never the same again.  While Joseph was not alive when all that happened, the lack of need for workers or entrepreneurs could have led him to leave the area in which his family had lived for many years.
