I don't know if I am the only one having a problem like this, but since I installed Windows XP, I no longer am getting the file attachment (paper clip)
> that usually came with my messages from you. I have not been able to read the last 3-4 messages because of this.
If you are using Windows XP, perhaps there are changes in the way an attachment is sent. Or Is there some way you can send them other than as an attachment?

Apologies to all who wrote me after I left for Virginia in early October. I was unable to access the Internet for a couple of weeks, mostly due to ancient telephone wiring. Living in antiquity has its price!
Those of you who are interested in membership in the Manaking Huguenot Society should contact me, sending your name ad address. We are watching the Pierre Chastain gravesite situation, among other activities. Our next meeting is Saturday, March 16, 2002.

Notes for William Newton Chastain:
"Grandpa Fred (William Fred Chastain) told the tale that his pa traveled the country in a covered wagon and that is why the kids were born in different places. We do not know WHY he traveled so. We do not know what he did for a living really. I can only guess he met Ada on his travels ,how else do you meet someone from Michigan. Which is why I do not know where he married her. But after adulthood all these folks were living within Sunday visiting distance,Fred, John, Daisy, Fannie, Pearl (Maggie died) maybe not Dee or she may have been dead I do not know."

The message I posted was of supreme interest to me. You are correct about Wrano . . . He is "Our" Chastain. I have already proven that John Withrow's son was Wm. Newton Chastain (MY GGGrandfather). I have submitted an article to "The Chestnut Tree" ( a genealogical magazine about the Chastain family ). I did not know Jason's middle name was Meadows. I DO have more info on Jason, I believe. I would love to hear from you by E-Mail. My website is www.DoyleChastain.com . . . E-Mail is Doyle(a)DoyleChastain.com.

There is some disagreement as to the children of John W. Chastain. The Census info lists John W. or N. Chastain. I believe it was supposed to be an N for Newton and would like to find any information I can about his children, especially the source of the info. A child born 1862 . . . and John, born 1855 are of special concern to me. Does anyone have info on this subject, or possibly an obituary or something which mentions his children???
Hello, I might be able to shed some light here. I've been working very fervently on this particular branch of my family.
When you mention John W or John N, are you referring to John Withrow or John Withrow's son John? I don't know the son's middle name, but I do know that John Withrow's son William was named William Newton, who was born in 1855. The other son you might be interested in is Jason Meadows Chastain who was born in 1862. Jason Meadows Chastain was my great-grandfather.
I'm quite certain that John's name was Withrow. He is listed in the census, once with the name "Withrow Chastain" (no mention of the name John). Also, I have read/heard that his mother's maiden name was Withrow.
Much of my source information comes from census reports. I try, as much as possible, to view the census images on Ancestry.com just to verify what I've found in the various transcribed versions on the web. But here are the census's I've found information on James Withrow Chastain, his family, and also Jason Chastain:
1850: Union County, 85th District
Family Group # 427:
Withrow Chastain, age 26, born in Ga.
Jane Chastain, age 24, born in Ga.

John W. Chastain, age 37, born in Ga.
Jane C. Chastain, age 34, born in Ga.
James J. Chastain, age 7, born in Ga.
William W. (N.?) Chastain, age 4, born in Ga.
John A. Chastain, age 1, born in Ga.
1870 Census: Union County, Georgia
Family Group # 790
John W. Chastain, age 47, born in Ga.
Janie Chastain, age 44, born in Ga.
James Chastain, age 17, born in Ga.
William Chastain, age 15, born in Ga.
John Chastain, age 13, born in Ga.
Jason Chastain, age 8, born in Ga.
A correspondent I heard from recently said that she had census information from 1880, in Whitfield County, Georgia (I can't find it myself) where the head of the household is listed as Wrano Chastain. She said here, Jason was listed as being 17 years of age. She said that this family group lists a Newton, at age 25 (so this indicates it is the William who was 15 at the earlier census), and an addition of an Ada (age 18), who is presumed to be "Newton's" wife. She told me that Newton and Ada were her great grandparents.

dau: Bessie L., born April 1893, born in Ga.
son: Jason P., born March 1896, born in Missouri
Also... I have it on good authority that Jason's middle name was Meadows. My mother, who is Jason's grand-daughter told me. I am curious about how this famiily might be connected to the Meadows family. As I was looking through all the census in the specific counties where I was looking for Jason Chastain, I noticed a plethora of Meadows families, so now I'm curious as to what is the connection.
I hope this helps!

I have a Chastain in my ancestry who is a brick wall. Maybe you can help? I'd like to find out where he came from.
My mother was Florence Marina Sorrells, born in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia, in 1915. Her parents were James Murry Sorrells and Annie Laura Chastain. Annie Laura (who was called Laura) was born in Polk County Georgia, in 1889 (June). Her parents were Florence Adelaide Parham (who's father was Henry Parham), and Jason (I think, middle name Meadows) Chastain. I have information from the 1990 Census that shows Jason and Florence Chastain living in Chatooga County, Dirtseller District no. 1216, Georgia. At the time, they had 4 living children: Laura (Annie Laura), Samuel B., Bessie L., and Jason P. (Parham). After 1900, I know they had 2 other boys, named Theodore Roosevelt and Frank Victor. Frank's last address that I know of was in Florida, near Ft. Lauderdale, but I'm quite certain he's passed away by now.
I can't seem to find anything beyond Jason (Meadows) who was married to Florence Adelaide Parham. I know he was born in Georgia, and that both of his parents were also born in Georgia. Since Annie Laura was the eldest, and was born in Polk County, there might be some marriage records at about 1880 in Polk County, but I don't know for certain. I'd like to find out who his parents were, if he had any siblings, and who his parents' siblings were so I could move on with this tree.
If you can shed any light, I would be much abliged!
Thanks!

I am a decendent of Pierre Chastain through my paternal grandmother, Bessie Carolina Chastain, daughter of Tobias Chastain. I will be in the area during your meeting but do not know if I can attend due to prior committments (Granddaughters Track Meet at Albemarle). Is Midloian very far away from there? Maybe I can run by briefly.

I would like any information that any one knows about Herman or Gladys Chastain. They lived in California for some time and also lived in Oklahoma. I am trying to build my family tree.
