Surname: Chaffin, Row, Parker, Holleyman
-------------------------
My ancestor Mary Melissa Jane Chaffin was born in 1839 in Clinton Co. Il.
to Eli and Lavenia E. Row Chaffin. Eli and Lavenia were married in 1828
in Clinton Co., Il. The family moved to Texas soon after her (Mary M.J.)
birth with the Parker family of Crawford Co., Il. After Eli's death Lavenia
married James W. Parker.
Eli was the son of Ellis and Mary "Polly" ??. I have that Lavenia was the
daughter of John and Elizabeth (no surname for her) Row.
Notice that both of our Chaffins have 3 given names.
Would like to have more info. on this family.
