Fred B was a farmer. One article in 1911 mentions that he had sold "cows from $40 to $47, a colt $105, sow and eight pigs for $40". The article called those "high prices".
According to his grandson Fred, "played a fiddle at barn dances where neighbors out in the country did square dancing".

Osborne David Castleman (1826-1902) was the father of Frederick Berlin Castleman (1882-1954)
O.D. Castleman's Findagrave.com Memorial
When Osborne David Castleman was born on October 12, 1826, in Frederick, Virginia, his father, Alfred, was 30 and his mother, Margaret, was 17. He married Trithena Groves on March 12, 1858 in Dent County, Missouri. They had 17 children in 29 years. He died on November 30, 1902, in Rolla, Missouri, having lived a long life of 76 years, and was buried in Phelps, Missouri.Osborne David Castleman Esq. lived in Virginia in 1831, around the time Nat Turner and his fellow slaves launched a revolt against white settlers.
He was the oldest child of nine children. His brother Nathaniel "Nat" was born when he was 3 years old. His next brother, William Alfred was born when he was 5 years old. By the time his youngest brother Charles was born, "David" was 22 years old.
O.D. Castleman lived in Virginia into his twenties. He moved to Missouri having received a land grant from President Van Buren and married his wife Trithena in 1858. In 1859, their first child Susan Frances was born.
According to family sources "David" disagreed with his father Alfred about the issue of slavery. It appears that other members of his family may have been divided on the issue, as well.
After the Civil War, his father, in his request for a pardon to President Andrew Johnson, in 1865, stated, "I had two sons in the United States Army one of whom was killed, and two in the Confederate Army." I am not sure how accurate of a statement that was.
(Although his father, Alfred, stated this there are some facts, in his request for a pardon that appear to be either incorrect or embellished, since they contradict other statements of his own. I believe four of his sons fought for the Confederacy and only one for the US Army, and the Union during the Civil War. Two of his sons, William and Ned died during the War and the rest survived. Alfred also denied ever serving in the military but later fought to receive a pension for serving in the war of 1812. )
His brother, William, died at Sharpsburg in 1862 in the bloodiest battle in American history, known as The Battle of Antietam. In 1863, his brother Edward "Ned", while serving in the Confederate Army, died after he was thrown from a horse.
"Squire O.D. Castleman" was a farmer, and in 1883 he visited the Rolla Herald newspaper and gave them samples of his corn. He informed the newspaper that "he raised a thousand bushels of the best corn in the county".
On July 1, 1886, the newspaper announced, "Osburn D. Castleman, of Cold Spring township, as a candidate for the office of Representative, subject to the decision of the Democratic Nominating Convention."
The Rolla Herald published his speech delivered on May 26, 1888, titled "Our Noble President". The subject of the speech was president Grover Cleveland. Interestingly, O.D. Castleman's cousin John B. Castleman was a delegate of the 1892 Democratic Convention and successfully lobbied for the nomination of Grover Cleveland.
David served on the executive committee of The Phelps County Horticultural Society. Phelps was called "the fruit basket" of Missouri. The committee was organized in 1888, which for a long time was very prosperous and held annual fairs.
In 1891, "O.D. Castleman was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the eastern part of Cold Spring township on account of the long distance to the duly elected justices."
In 1900, "Hon. O.D. Castleman was made temporary chairman" of the Republican Convention. In a speech, he "told of his conversion to Republicanism, and glorified McKinley and the Republican administration."
Osborne "David" Castleman and Trithena had 17 children:
- Susan Frances Castleman Whitten
- Margaret Lucinda Castleman Treat
- John Alfred Castleman
- Joseph R Castleman
- Missouri Elizabeth Castleman Register
- Martha Jane Castleman Green

The Last Will and Testament of David Castleman Sr.
Andreas Ludwig Casselman (1698-1789)
Andreas Ludwig Casselman (1698-1789) was the father of Johannes David Castleman (1734-1826)
Andreas Ludwig Casselman (son of Johannes Dietrich Casselman and Anna Elizabetha Rinderin) was born November 06, 1698 in Adelshofen, Baden Wurttemberg, Germany, and died Abt. 1768 in Albany County, NY. He married Maria Elisabetha Schafer around the year 1719, daughter of Gerhard Schafer and Anna Maria Saueressig.
Andreas Ludwig was aged 10 years when he accompanied his parents to Walworth, England, 27 May 1709, in the second group of Palatine refugees from Holland.
He, his sister, Elizabetha and his parents came to America in 1710 to New York on board the H.M.S. Midfort/Medford.1
He was a member of the Lutheran church in Adelshofen, Germany and Stone Arabia New York Lutheran Church. He was baptized on November 06, 1698, in Adelshofen, Donaukreis, Wuerttemberg, Germany. Andreas Ludwig Castleman received Holy Communion on Feb 7, 1714 for the first time at Schoharie, NY, from Pastor Joshua Kocherthal.
Andreas took oath of naturalization Jan 17,1716 at Albany, NY.
He was a member of the original Patentees of the Stone Arabia, NY Patent(1723). In 1744 the Lutheran and Reformed Churches divided the church property. Ludwick was one of the Patentees mentioned in the deed of the Reformed Church. In 1768 the Lutheran Church lost their deed and in obtaining a new deed, it was mentioned that all of the orginial Patentees were dead.
He was granted land by Lord Fairfax in Hampshire Co., Virginia within days of William Casselman in 1749. In 1753 Andreas, William, and David Castleman were granted lots in Winchester, Frederick co., Virginia by Lord Fairfax. It was through the deeds that the Casselman spelling was anglicized to Castleman.2
In the Stone Arabia, New York, the Lutheran Church’s list of families records that in 1744 Ludwig's family is Johannes, Conrad, John Jacob, Anna, David, Elizabet and Sophia. It is assumed that these children were less than 20 years old. Family tradition says the older sons, William and Lewis had left home. Family tradition also says that Ludwig went to northern Virginia after selling his land in Stone Arabia. It is believed that his sons William, Lewis, Johnand David went with him. There is no documentation to prove or disprove the older sons or the move to Virginia.

He was to be removed to the publick gaol at Williamsburgh according to the law. (NOTE: All public records at Williamsburgh were burned by the British in War of 1812, so these records are not extant. Lodowick must have been exonerated as he sold land in 1761 in Virginia and moved to Pennsylvania that year, according to deeds).
Andreas Ludwig married his second wife, Mary Bush Wallace Hancock prior 10 June 1761; (d. aged 108 years, a widow). 1790 Census Bedford Co.,PA, Mary Castleman was living alone.

Johannes "Hans" Dietrich Casselman (1662-1744)
Johannes Dietrich Casselman (1662-1744) was the father of Andreas Ludwig Casselman (1698-1768)
Johannes Dietrich Casselman (son of Johann Casselman and Anna Unknown) was born November 13, 1662 (or 1661) in Adelshofen, Baden Wurttemberg, Germany, and died 1744 in Stone Arabia, Montgomery Co., New York. He married Anna Elizabetha Rinderin on November 15, 1687 in Adelshofen,Heidelberg,Baden, Germany, daughter of Johannes Peter Rinderin and Unknown.
He, his wife, and children Andreas Ludwich and Elizabetha came to America in 1710 to New York on board the H.M.S. Midfort/Medford (the 2nd wave of Palatines who had taken refuge in England, at the expense of Queen Anne.) She paid expenses also to America.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church in Adelshofen, Germany and Lutheran Church in Stone Arabia, New York, and also West Camp, New York. Johannes D. Casselman was a member of the Palatines1 in Walworth, England.
Hans' family is listed in the Adelshofen Germany Lutheran Church. They had a child in 1708 and apparently went to England in 1709 because they are listed in the group of Palatines in Walworth England2. The sons were Andreas Ludwig and Johann Dietrich and the daughters were Anna Elizabetha, Elisa Greta, and Anna. In 1710, the family living in West Camp, NY3: These are Hans Dietrich, Andreas Ludwig, Anna the wife, and Anna Elizabetha. It is believed that Elisa Greta and Anna died on board ship during the trip to NY. In 1713, Hans and his wife Anna were living in Stuttgart (Weiserdrof), now the Schoharie, New York4 area with two children, Johann Deitrich and John Wilhelm.
Hans was one of the original Patentees of the Stone Arabia Patent in the Mohawk Valley in New York. The family was brought to New York as indentured workers to make tar for the British Navy. Due to mismanagement the tar project was not successful and rations were stopped. In the middle of the winter 1712, the Palatines left for Schoharie Valley, NY. After building several villages and cultivating their farms, it became clear that there was a problem with the land titles. A period of riots, running the High Sheriff out of town on a rail and general disorders followed. As a compensation the Palatines were offered land in the Stone Arabia area. Some took the land offer, Hans Dietrich was one, some went to Pennsylvania and some made arrangements to stay on the land in Schoharie, Christian was one.5
Footnotes
1. "The German Palatines were natives of the Electoral Palatinate region of Germany, although a few had come to Germany from Switzerland, the Alsace, and probably other parts of Europe. Towards the end of the 17th century and into the 18th, the wealthy region was repeatedly invaded by French troops, which resulted in continuous military requisitions, widespread devastation and famine. The "Poor Palatines" were some 13,000 Germans who came to England between May and November 1709. Their arrival in England, and the inability of the British Government to integrate them, caused a highly politicized debate over the merits of immigration. The English tried to settle them in England, Ireland, and the Colonies. The English transported nearly 3,000 in ten ships to New York in 1710. Many of them first were assigned to work camps along the Hudson River to work off their passage. Close to 850 families settled in the Hudson River Valley, primarily in what are now Germantown and Saugerties, New York. In 1723 100 heads of families from the work camps were the first Europeans to acquire land west of Little Falls, New York, in present-day Herkimer County on both the north and south sides along the Mohawk River. Later additional Palatine Germans settled along the Mohawk River for several miles, founding towns such as Palatine Bridge, and in the Schoharie Valley."

It is believed that Elisa Greta and Anna died on board ship during the trip to NY. In 1713, Hans and his wife Anna were living in Stuttgart (Weiserdrof), now the Schoharie, New York4 area with two children, Johann Deitrich and John Wilhelm.
Hans was one of the original Patentees of the Stone Arabia Patent in the Mohawk Valley in New York. The family was brought to New York as indentured workers to make tar for the British Navy. Due to mismanagement the tar project was not successful and rations were stopped. In the middle of the winter 1712, the Palatines left for Schoharie Valley, NY. After building several villages and cultivating their farms, it became clear that there was a problem with the land titles. A period of riots, running the High Sheriff out of town on a rail and general disorders followed. As a compensation the Palatines were offered land in the Stone Arabia area. Some took the land offer, Hans Dietrich was one, some went to Pennsylvania and some made arrangements to stay on the land in Schoharie, Christian was one.5
