See if this helps anyone. This is about Amos Chaffin, my great-great-(I think)
grandfather. He fought in the Civil War and rode with Quantrill's Raiders for a time.
His son, Doctor Monroe Chaffin (Doctor was his first name, not his title) was my
great-grandfather, and was apparently fathered at least two notorious bootleggers (Louis
and Manfred Chaffin). I think Amos was originally from North Carolina. There is a picture
of his gravesite on this link.
