The American Baptist Historical Society Manuscript Collection list can be found at http://www.abhsarchives.org/docs/Colgate_Manuscripts.pdf. This manuscript collection is housed at the America Baptist Samuel Colgate Historical Library in Rochester, New York.

I know this post is old but I wonder if you copied any more information about John Harvard Castle when you were there or if you just made note of what the collection was. I believe he married my GGG grandfather whom I believe is his brother.
I didn't actually visit there. The description under his name in my post says what the entire collection consists of, one notebook. You may want to consult their website to see if that has changed.
You should contact the Library and ask them for more information on that collection. They may be able to do a lookup for you, if not you will need to hire a researcher if the Library is not near you.
Good luck!That would be exciting if you found something.
