[coosa1.ged]
The following census is of James Monroe Castellaw's family. James is
living next to his father Benjamin Franklin Castellaw and his family.
James has his last name in the census spelt as Castelow. While his
father's is spelt as Castelaw. The "o" could have been a poorly written
"a". However, I am began to believe, due to several years of research,
that the Scottish name Castellaw/Castellow/Castello has such a slight
enunciation at the end, which has caused the name to be spelt different
ways. Or there may have been a dispute among family members on how the
name was enunciated or spelt. It appears at this time, 29 Sep 2001, that
the orginial name was spelt Castellaw. Ron Bridges
