WILLIAM CHAFFIN (b. late 1770s in VA, d. after 1860 in GA), who married RACHEL
"ZECHIE" SMITH (b. late 1770s, d. 1840/1860). Rachel "Zechie" Smith
was a daughter of JAMES SMITH of Craven County, NC, and Wilkes County, GA. The article is

A section of the article (found under Child #8, Rachel "Zechie" Smith) focuses
on William Chaffin, who lived his adult life in Wilkes, Baldwin/Putnam, Jasper/Newton, and
Walton Counties, GA. As a resident of Jasper Co., GA, William Chaffin enlisted for
service in the War of 1812.
We welcome your questions, comments, critiques and any new information you can provide to
