Anderson Armstrong (AnC) Castleman

&

Amanda Jane Travis

I state on the home page my credo in this endeavor; however some people are unable to understand so let me make this perfectly clear.

I have never found absolute proof that A. A. is the son of Alexander Castleman. As always, in my research I exhaust all possible leads that I have found and when no other, better evidence exists or is brought forward, I give it "MY BEST GUESS", so, please take it in that light and do with it what you will.
