Let’s look this over begining with the Damron/Dameron’s ….
Richard Dameron/Damron was born Johnson Co., Ky, son of Samuel Dameron/Damron, b. 1822 Cabell Co., Va;
m’d 13 Aug 1850 Johnson Co., Ky :
Mary Mollet/Mullett, b. abt. 1837 Johnson Co., Ky
dau of David Mollet and Susan Damron.
The 1870 Johnson Co., Ky census (P.O. Paintsville) generally backs this up, listing Richard, 10, b.Ky, in the household of Samuel (37, b.Va) and Mary (28, b.Ky) Dameron.
From “One World Tree”
Richard Dameron (son of “Samuel Dameron & Mary Mollet”)
b. 23 Nov 1859 Johnson Co., Ky
d. 1934 White Oak, Ok.
m’d 1880 Lawrence Co., Ky
Margaret Ann Cassell/Castle
b. 1864/5 Johnson Co., Ky
d. 1940 White Oak, Ok.
children ( * = found on 1900 Lawrence Co., Ky Census in household of Richard & “Margarette” Damron):
Jessie Damron
Charles Damron
Amy Damron, b. 1884 Lawrence Co., Ky.
Jennie Damron, b. 13 Oct 1886 (ditto) *
John Walter Damron, b. 4 Oct 1887 (ditto) *
Samuel Damron, b. 1893 Ky *
Albert Damron, b. 10 Aug 1893 Lawrence Co., Ky *
Richard Clayton Damron, b. 1899 (ditto) *
………………………
If these are yours, “Anna” Castle lived in the same general area as Richard Dameron in 1870s.
To be absolutely clear. There is no Margaret Castle in Lawrence or the surrounding counties on the 1870 census. The only “Ann” Castle within any reasonable age range of Margaret A. Castle, is the previously cited “Anna” Castle of Johnson Co., Ky.

p.s…. Paintsville was considered part of the Salyersville Indian community.
