Samuel Northrup Castle (August 12, 1808 –July 14, 1894) was a businessman and politician in the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Samuel Northrup Castle was born August 12, 1808 in Cazenovia, New York. His middle name is sometimes spelled "Northrop". His father was Samuel Castle (1770–1847) whose mother was Eunice Northrup (1743–1807), and his mother was Phoebe Parmelee. He married Angeline Lorraine Tenney (1810–1841). He became a bank teller in Cleveland, Ohio. On December 14, 1836 the Castles sailed from Boston on the Mary Frazier. Juliette Montague and Amos Starr Cooke were on the same ship, the eighth company of missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions which arrived on April 9, 1837.
Castle was a layman who managed the financial affairs of the mission, while the Cookes opened the Royal School. The Castles were assigned a house originally built for Reverend Ephriam Weston Clark near Kawaiahaʻo Church. He lived there the rest of his life. Some of the houses in this complex (including the storehouse he managed) have been restored and became the Mission Houses Museum.
His first wife Angeline died March 5, 1841 after having one daughter Mary Tenney Castle, born May 9, 1838 who married Edward Griffin Hitchcock April 11, 1862. Hitchcock was son of missionaries Harvey Rexford Hitchcock (1800–1855) and Rebecca Howard (1808–1890), born in Lahaina on Maui in 1837, served as Marshal of the Republic of Hawaii, and died October 9, 1898. Their grandson was all-American football player Harvey Rexford Hitchcock, Jr.
Castle returned to the United States and married Mary Tenney (October 26, 1819 – March 13, 1907), the sister of his first wife, on November 13, 1842 in West Exeter, New York. They were both daughters of Levi Tenney (1781–1869) who served in the War of 1812 and Mary Ann Kingsbury (1787–1853). The Castles returned to Hawaii in March 1843.
