The messages that I am receiving on the Chastain List is not identified
as coming from the Chastain List but is in the individuals name. I feel
many messages will not be opened because of not knowing the sender.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I have been trying to locate someone related to my Elizabeth Benecia AYRES
who married Martin CHASTAIN in Buckingham County, VA 07 February 1793 by
Martin's Father, Rev. Rene CHASTAIN. You can see the complete listing of
marriages performed by Rev. Rene Chastain at the following URL:
http://users.inna.net/~btoney/buckmarr.htm
Also on the list were two marriages for a John AYRES.
Does anyone know if this John AYRES is related to Elizabeth or who the
parents were for either John or Elizabeth?
I would appreciate even a small clue as to where I could look for
Elizabeth's parents. I thought I had found them in one of the Chastain
books but someone else says that the Elizabeth named there married someone
else (although the time period is perfect....drats!!!!)

I was just looking at the list of people who went to our Chastain
Reunion. There were 100 listed on the page. Of those, I had only 17,
recorded even though there are over 8100 in my file. What an addition
it would make to have all of them listed! I'd sure like to know who
those other 83 connect with. Again: (Me) G. Lawrence (Larry) Jelf, Hazel
Chastain, George, John Allen Thomas, George C., John F., George,
William, Pierre Jr., Pierre Sr.
Hello cousins,
Since I last was in contact with the list, I have discovered my connection(
it was a group effort made possible by the wonders of e-mail connections
between Texas,California and Oklahoma. And researching microfilm as well as
trips to local courthouses. No matter how advanced we get there is always
something you can't find anywhere else but in the dusty pages at the
courthouse. Now that I believe I have the peoples names I want to get my
paper trail( or copies of documents to back up my references) If anyone can
pass along a bit of info I would of course be very appreciative. What I had
in mind is this........name of the book,page # ect or census date and roll
#, the things I need to look it up myself. No offense but I do want to prove
it all to myself not just take someones word for it.
The following names and spouses I list based on someone else's projections
as fact but I intend to use this as a starting point. Starting with
Dr. Pierre(Ann Soblet )
Peter Jr. ( Mildred Archer)
Rev. John (Mary O'Brian)
Edward Brigand(Hannah Brown)
Hoochie" John C. (Nancy Withrow, 2nd wife)
Here was the point of the breakthrough for me...............
from here to current I have done my homework but always eager for more.
Children of John C. and Nancy Withrow Chastain
my relation.....: John Withrow
Joseph Decalb
Malinda Mcdaniel
Susanna
Hannah
Benjamin Nelson
Jehu
Elisha
first wife of John C. Chastain was Nancy Coward Chastain with a child
of this union named Jasen Coward Chastain
My direct line continues as follows:
John Withrow Chastain(Caroline Jane McClure)
William Newton Chastain(Ada Noble)
William Fred Chastain( Emily White)
Leroy Rex Chastain( Neva Nell Baker)
(Me) Sheila Chastain Rowe
I would like to contact Gloria Chastain Ford regarding my family history. I
understand she is no longer a member of the PCFA but she was the person who
turned in the family history from a bible belonging to James Jasper
Chastain(son of John Withrow), this was the brother of my greatgrandfather.
Perhaps someone is in contact with her or her family. Her last known phone
was listed in Kansas. I hesitate to call cold turkey and it may not be a
working #
Come on cousins, I am asking for one lead per person not a whole manuscript.
Then I can go look it up.
Thanks a million Sheila Chastain Rowe

Teasing family history from a few drops of blood
PROVO, Utah (AP) - Genealogical research has always meant days in dusty
archives and searches through miles of microfiche and stacks of faded
photographs. But soon, history hunters might be able to find out where
they're from with a quick cheek swab and a few hours of gene testing.
Scott Woodward, a microbiology professor at Brigham Young University, is
directing a project that combines old-fashioned genealogy with the latest
technology in the hope of making it easier to fill out family trees.
"Each of us carries a history of who we are and how we're related to the
whole world," Woodward said as he pored over blood samples in his busy
campus laboratory. "We're trying to decode that history."
The process begins with the prick of a needle. Volunteers from all over the
country, each with a written genealogy that extends back at least to their
great-great-grandparents, have given Woodward a few teaspoons of blood
during the first year of the project.
DNA from the blood is analyzed to create a map of about 250 simple genetic
markers.
In the future, a supercomputer will create a matrix of all those genes and
the historical data from the donated family trees. Woodward says he'll then
be able to focus on any spot in space and time - say, Denmark in 1886 - to
identify the genes residents carried.
That means future genealogists, perhaps just five or 10 years from now,
will be able to submit their own DNA and a query. Because all names are
stripped off the blood samples and charts to protect privacy, it is
impossible to track specific individuals. But a researcher could ask where
his or her great-grandmother was from, and Woodward could answer: she was
born in Denmark around 1886.
That's an exciting proposition, said Ed Gaulin, president of the Manasota
Genealogical Society in Bradenton, Fla., which helped organize a recent
sampling trip by the BYU researchers to western Florida.
"I've been at this genealogy thing since I was a kid and I've seen three
major advances in genealogy," said Gaulin, who donated blood himself. "The
photocopier was the first, the next was the computer, and the third one is
DNA. That's where I put this. It's that important."
Molecular genealogy has had its high-profile cases - most notably the 1998
tests that proved that at least some offspring of the slave Sally Hemings
were related to Thomas Jefferson.
Those tests, which tracked the easily identifiable Y chromosomes passed
from fathers to sons, and their counterparts, which track certain material
that follows the maternal line, have also been used to trace the offspring
of famous people or certain genetically distinct populations such as Finns,
Sardinians or Basques.
Some scientists have claimed to have gone back as far as Eve, and a handful
of companies promise to prove family relationships for about $200 to $300 a
test. The BYU tests are less specific but also cover father-daughter and
mother-son lines.
"There have been people out there suggesting that DNA will be the guideline
for pedigrees in the future," said Russ Henderson, spokesman for the
National Genealogical Society. But he warned that genealogy buffs should
remember that genetic material is just another clue in the search for their
ancestors.
That's what Henry and Diana Johnson, who recently dropped by Woodward's lab
at BYU to give blood, are looking for. Although some of their family tree
goes back to Ireland, the rest dead-ends in New England.
"I've followed back six generations and I can't get across the ocean,"
Johnson said. "They could be English, they could be Swedish."
At least 11,000 people have donated blood so far, a bit more than the
initial one-year goal of 10,000, and Woodward hopes to collect another
30,000 samples this year. He figures he needs 100,000 for a solid database,
which he could have in three years.
But first he needs to broaden his collection base.
To that end, a stack of suitcases and coolers for sampling trips competes
for space in the lab with churning computers and vials of DNA. Blood has
already been collected from New York to Hawaii and in the coming months
samples will be taken in Alaska, New Zealand and Australia.
To be fully realized, Woodward said, the database needs samples from every
region on every continent, which could cost tens of millions of dollars. So
far, Utah billionaire James Sorensen and Arizona philanthropist Ira Fulton
have donated $2.5 million.
When the project began a year ago, about 95% of donors were Utah Mormons,
most from the BYU campus. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints like Woodward view genealogy almost as a church tenet - a
means of seeking out ancestors for baptism by proxy - which has made the
church's family history centers a major resource for researchers. But
Woodward insists he doesn't want the database to be for Mormons only.
"The power of genetics is showing just how similar we really are," Woodward
said. "What this project is doing is showing that we're essentially one big
family."
Hi Chastain Researchers,
As you may or may not know, I have no chance to get away to do research. I
need someone's help.
I trying to help David Eugene Chastain, Jr. find his great grandparents and
connect them up to Pierre.
Would someone please check the 1910 US Census for Fannin County, Georgia and
send me an extraction of what you find on the family of Charles Chastain and
wife Sara Ray. David's grandfather John Lee Chastain was b. 26 Jan 1909, in
Morganton (Fannin) GA, son of Charles Chastain and Sara Ray. We should be
able to connect him since he is one of the Fannin County, GA Chastains.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Bob Leishman
PCFA Historian
Hellos Friends and Family, For the last week, I have been recieving the
HaHaHa virus every day on an e-mail. I check my computer daily and so
far it has been prevented from taking up residence here. I am sending this
so that just in case you might not know it, someone's computer with my
name on the mailing list is sending me a daily greeting. Sneaky things
they are but would you all just check to be sure that your machine is
behaving. Thanks, Jane
Hi All,
I've been off the list for a while, searching other lines, but now I'm back.
For those of you that may be interested...
There is to be a Civil War memorial service and grave marker put on the grave
of James Osborne Chastain/Burrell. The service is currently scheduled for
next Sunday, March 11th at 3:30pm (the schedule has changed a couple of
times already, any more changes and I'll re-post). The service will be at
Cheohee (pronounced Choy) Baptist Church, Tamassee, Oconee County, SC.
James was the son of Mark Burrell and Nancy Chastain. Born in Dec. 1839, he
married 1) Sarah Riddley and 2) Martha Medlin (maybe not in that order). His
daughter, Mary Lee Burrell married Henry Grady Dottry. They were my great
grandparents. James died March 1924.
Please come if you can. The more the merrier. And, unless the schedule
changes again, I plan to be there, and I would love to meet any and all
relatives no matter how distant.
Thanks. Hope to see you there!
Sherri
Researching...Addis, Alexander, Burrell, Burnett, Chastain, Craven, Deaton,
Dottry, Drake, Hubbard, Medlin, etc. All in VA, NC, SC & GA
This is the Abraham Chastain Line which is my line. Following is an outline
for 4 generations of the information that I have. I will do some searching
and see if I have any burial records but I called myself doing that at one
time and have not recorded anything. A lot of the below information is in
Volume I also.
