Notes for JOHN F. Featherstone, Of Packwood:
"Featherstone Family News" Vol. 1, Issue 9, Winter 1998; "Beryl Writes" p. 14:
"...Dr. & Mrs. Meiers advanced the possibility that there was a connection with the "Castle" family. There is certainly a Fetherston coat of arms imposed on the Packwood 'tree'."~~
~~It is my personal mission at this time (yr. 2000) in my life to find this connection to the Castle if at all possible....I get closer everyday. DFL (see supporting documentation below from Burke's).
