Footnotes

1. 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 Issac b. 1814 d. ?. Living near by 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' step grandson. He undoubtly had quite a lot to do with Lucretia' move to Lawrence County, AL, having arrived earlier or perhaps migrating from Georgia with her.
