Hi,
I just received from Lineages in SLC,UT the Nationwide Census Index 1850

You are most welcome to asked me about anyone and I will e-mail back as
fast as possible. There are also 1870's and 1871's included.
I have noted 4 Elijahs and 3 Elisha, 3 Abners in 1870 CO. There are
spellings of Chassen, Chassin, Chassman, Chastain, Chastaine, Chastan,
Chastane, Chastang, Chastant, Chastean, Chastear, Chasteen, Chastein,
Chasten, Chastern, Chasthan, Chastiam, Chastian, Chastien, Chastilain,
Chastin, Chastine, Chastion, Chastman, Chastney, Chasto, Chaston, Chastren,
Chastrise, Chastron, Chastun, and Chasty, BUT he did not do the SH
spellings so I will write him a note.
Cordially,
Carol Petrich Flores

Does anyone have information regarding Rachel Stover w/o Jonathan Davis
Chastain. In the Stover line there are several Rachels and many more Jacobs
(I think that was her fathers name). Jonathan was born May 22, 1803 in
S.Carolina and married Rachel Stover, December 26, 1822 in Habersham Co.
Georgia.They are my ggg grandparents.
Congratulations Ray on the new nephew. He sounds so cute. I went to school
with a girl named Sandy Rebstock at Jesse Jones High School here in
Houston. She was a real 5'2" eyes-of-blue-blonde beauty. I am blondish w.
green eyes. However, my sister and brother are Chastains like myself and
Suzie has the blackest brown eyes (& blondish hair) you ever saw, more so
than my husband who was born in Monterrey Mexico. His Mother emigrated
from Kiev, Russia in the 1920's and went to Mexico due to quotas here being
full. They are green & blue eyed. Back to my Brother Paul Geoffrey
Petrich, b 1959 is also dark and dark-eyed as is my Dad because both of his
parents were b in Pozen or far west Germany. My Granddaughter Abbie
Elizabeth b 14 March 1994 is tall, slender, blonde and has VERY blue eyes
as does my grandson Andrew Patrick b Dec. 18, 1996. For about nine months
after she was born Abbie was a pretty big baby, with the biggest, darkest
eyes. That changed after about 14
months although it took two years for her to have enough hair for a bow. My
mother is Irish (O'Neal, Walker), French
(Chastain/Lands/Shelton/Gamble),English (Hatley), & Welsh (Stone). My
Grandmother had blue eyes as does my
Mother. Those particular Grandparents also had a sense of humor about
names. Grandmother's Mother was a Stone so they named two of their four
girls Ruby and Opal. Grandmother had a sister named Pearl. Grandfather had
a sister named Jewel. Grandmother's family had left many family members
around Dalton GA and when we started our research there I found there had
been another Pearl: her daughter Mattie Kaylor remembered letters about
Salena and the "Texas bunch". These are all Chastain desendants on my
Grandmother's side. We have NO redheads and NO twins in my direct lines
I'm sorry to say. I was wondering, is Middleton an English name? My Dad's
German side landed at New York City in 1888. Figuring they could not farm
it, they got on another ship and came to Galveston, TX and then to
beautiful Washington Co TX where all the pretty bluebonnets grow. Then
they were allotted land below Waco at Riesel, TX and the Brazos River
bottom where Grandfather planted cotton. I have found that my Chastain and
Petrich (German) families had much in common. Both sides loved children,
they loved the land, and they worked hard.

In reference to illnesses of the Chastains, Don has diabetes however, it is
believed that this was handed down from his mother's side. His father
(Daniel Ed) had a heart condition of which he had a pace-maker before his
death in 1973. We are not sure but from what can remember of his father's
statements over the years that his father (George Young Chastain) and also
grandfather Jeremiah had heart problems.
Marquetta Chastain
In response to Chastain descriptions: Larry Jelf(by Hazel Chastain)hazel
eyes, fair complexion, blond hair(whitening now). If I can get time I'll
send along photos of a couple of my Chastains.
All Chastains,
I think family illnesses/histories are very interesting and important.
We do not have cancer problems in this Chastain line from Chastain-Shelton
on. I believe diabetes is in here. My Grandmother Annie Lands(O'Neal) had
it. She was a practical nurse as was her Mother Salena, Mary Chastain
Shelton's gr-Grand. They rode around the Mart TX countryside with Dr.
Gilliam in his buggy and would be gone maybe a week. Grandmother I noticed
kept a copy of her L.V.N.'s license from the Univ. of Texas correspondence
school, by her wall telephone; however, I know she was helping deliver
babies in the 1930's because Mother said her Daddy couldn't cook at all,
and they were so glad when she got back home. (There are many unpaved
roads in the area today.) Gov. Geo.W.Bush's new ranch is just opposite
Mart on the other side of Waco. Wait 'til he finds out what those roads
are like!
At the Chastain reunion held in McMinnville, at the Sat. afternoon family
history session, an elderly gentleman identified himself as a Littlepage.
Then I believe Myra one of the Chastain sisters who has written a new book
re females in geneaology told me they were related to the Burleson family
in Waco. The Paxton Littlepages own the only funeral home in Mart and
Paxton, Jr. has always had diabetes. One of the Burleson's was in the
first or one of the first graduating classes at Baylor U. in Waco. I
haven't been able to get any information out of either family so far. I
believe Grandmother's diabetes (b. 1895) and now my cousin Toby (b 1955)
and others got theirs through the Shelton line. You know this Shelton line
goes back to David Shelton, brother of Sarah Shelton, 1st wife of Patrick
Henry of VA. She died young after four or five children, and then he
remarried and had an even larger family. It is just a guess but maybe she
died of diabetes.
Monroe's comments about cancer are interesting in that my grandmother
and all of her sisters died of cancer. (She was the g-g-grandaughter of
Valentine Chastain, Sr - three times, so her Chastain heritage was very
strong.)
Several years ago I went through my genealogy records and made charts
for both my wife and myself, showing that ages and causes of death for
several generations back. Our doctors were very happy (and surprised)
to get this information. It can be an important part of medical care
that doctors most often do not have.
Just a thought.

My one year old grandson, Miller Lamar McNew, 29# and not fat at all on his
first birthday with dark, dark brown hair and the biggest chocolate drop
brown eyes (almost black), laughs all the time and loves everyone who comes
into his environment.

Hi everybody: Chastain's here in South Carolina, do have certain features,
and when you see them you know they are Chastain, my wife can spot them
quicker than I can. She says its the chin, the eyes and the hairline. In my
line of Chastain, we have dark hair, which recedes as we get older, then all
we have left his hair around the side, eyes that can turn from Hazel to
Green, some blue, more of a gray colored eyes. And some of the Chastains have
sandy color hair. Our skin can be dark, mine gets very dark in the summer. If
any one has the book Kith and Kin I have a son that looks alot like J.E.
Chastain on page 201. Oh, and on our side we have what is called the Chastain
nose. Kinda sticks out there. (I hated it growing up). I would like to know
if in any of the other Chastain lines if there is a contionous history of
cancer. In our line the men get prostate cancer by the time they are in the
early 60's. My father died from it, and all five of his brothers have now
been hit with it, and his sister had breast cancer (20 year survior), she has
had two children with cancer, one adult lukemina and another died just
recently from lung cancer, and another cousin just had a kidney removed
because of cancer. My wife has started keeping a medical hisotry for furture
generations. My father had one brother die from heart trouble, and my brother
has heart trouble. But as my wife says we Chastain are unique!
Monroe
Loyce you are right, just take a look at the Chastain's when you attend the
Reunion as they all have some of the same traits. Since I am only Chastain
by name I can see in all that I have met over the years.
Marquetta
Look in the mirror. A person looks like his millions of ancestors as well as
his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.
Better still, go to our PCFA annual reunion at Richmond, VA October 13-15,
2000 and you will meet lots of wonderful Chastains and you can see for
yourself.
Congratulations Ray on the new grand baby? I went to school with a girl
named Sandy Rebstock at Jesse Jones High School here in Houston. She was a

Broadfield, my number 3 grandaughter on her second birthday just last
week -- red hair and greenish eyes.

Hello....yes, I have a few blue eyes in my family and a lot of red
hair. That comes from my grandfather I guess. Most of them were black
hair and kinda dark complexion. Most of my uncles and aunt and my
mother were very short, but grandpa was tall and skinny...........AL
