Notes for Jacob Castle (Cassel)
In The Post Big Stone Gap, Virginia 06 Jan 1938, Thursday, page 1 and six is an article PIONEER DAYS IN CASTLEWOODS that states, "All historian agree that the settlement, and later the down, derived its name from a man named Castle or Cassel. But we find one writer saying that Castle was a horse thief and that irate settlers chased him into a forest here, where he was captured and hanged to a tree, while another tells us that Castle was an honest settler, the first to ever build a home at the place which was to bear his name. I am inclined to believe that Castle was the first, or among the first settlers here, and that the horse thief and lynching story has been transferred name and all, from some other locally and planted here on the hills of the winding Clinch.
