Rev. Robert Allen Castleman and Mary Morrison (Lee) Castleman
"In 1865, Rev. Castleman was inexplicably shot and killed by an unknown person while returning home from a neighbor’s house. His obituary noted, “He had no enemy, capable of such a deed; it is supposed he was the victim of an appalling mistake.” [source: Mrs. Mary Lee Castleman Remembering Herndon's History: A Prominent Woman’s Influence on The Herndon Seminary and St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church.]
