My husband, Amos Chastain of Thomasville Ga., is a descendant on his MOTHER'S maternal side of Joseph Rene and Martha Page; and on his MOTHER'S paternal side, of JOhn Page who was Martha's brother.
On his FATHER'S side he is a descendant of Joseph Rene and Martha Page through their son Joseph henry, his son John Henry and his son Henry Fabien.
You could say he is a TRUE Chastain, from three lines. I have volumes of information, which you may have secured by now. And I do share, if you want anything I have, email me.
I just joined the Pierre Chastain Family Assoc. and am really anxious for the thomasville reunion this year so I can compare my 45 year researched genealogy with theirs, and correct any errors I may have. I have it back to France, but I'd trust theirs to be more accurate if there are differences.
I am very desirous of a photo of Mamie Chastain, my husband's grandmother who died of spanish flu 1919. She was a daughter of Mary Jane Page and John Martin Chastain (Little River John)(I have his photo). .... and HE was a grandson of the one you iinquired about, Joseph Rene.
Have you heard of her? Do you have a photo? Jo

Message Board Post:
Looking for any information on Joseph Albert Chastain (b. abt Oct 1859 in Texas) who married Emily Meegan (b. abt Apr 1859 in Illinois). They were married about 1888. They had the following children:
Kathryn "Katie" (b. 28 Aug 1888 in Kansas - my ancestor)
Martha E. (b. Nov 1891 in New Mexico)
Maud E. (b. Jul 1894 in New Mexico)
William A. (b. Sep 1897 in Texas)
Emily supposedly died before 1920 and her daughters were placed in a convent. William travelled with his dad and I believe ended up in Dallas (according to 1920 census.)
Thank you for any help,
Ken Craig

Some clarifications need to be said here. S. Dwayne is quoting information I gave him. Since that time, I have completed more research resulting in the following:
James R. (Robert J.) Chasteen/Chastain b. 1862 Ark.
married Katie Alice (Ida) Huckaby in Sugarloaf, Sebastian County, Ark in 1882. Their children were: Maney Bingimin, Martin, Annie Evaline. Maney served in WWI, losing a leg and never married; is buried in Little Cemetery, Little, OK (outside of Seminole, OK). Martin married Leon Gage 12/22/1905 in Okmulgee, OK and they are listed on 1910 Okmulgee OK Census with their daughter Alice I. age 2. Annie Evaline married 1) Lawrence Gage, 2) Samuel Eli Fletcher and 3) in 1913 Charlie French; she died in California as Annie French.
Now, different James R. Chasteen, born 1885/86 in Ark. I have not been able to find him in any census prior to 1920 where he is listed with his wife Sarah L. and children: Alice I, 12, Charles, 9, and Frank, 7. This census shows both James' parents were born in Georgia. This is S. Dwayne's Grandfather.
I have searched ALL of the 1900 Arkansas, Indian Territory and Texas census for any Chastine/Chasteen/Chastain/Chastene, etc. with both parents being born in Georgia. There are NO sons listed as James R. There is one son listed as James "M." Chasteen.
I again find this James M. Chasteen in the 1900 Indian Territory Census showing him to be the right age for the James R. Chasteen listed in 1920 census.
I found a James R. Chasteen of the right birth date having had died in Marion County, Illinois. This is the same county where family information says James R. Chasteen's son Charles is to have moved. I have written to the Social Security Dept. for his ss application. When it arrives, I will be able to say who his parents were.
I also found out that the sister to S. Dwayne's father, James Franklin, is also my husband's grandmother, Ida Alice Chasteen Mantooth. On her death certificate, it states her parents were "Martin Chasteen" and "Leona Gage". After speaking with her daughter who is also listed on Alice Ida's death certificate as the informant, I found out that Alice Ida provided the information on her parents to the Funeral home herself, prior to her death. I have also written to the Funeral home for a copy of these documents. Once I receive them, I will be able to document the information on her death certificate as to who Alice Ida Chasteen Mantooth's parents were .
In a small cemetery outside of Okmulgee, OK is a grave for a "Leona Chastain died 1916, wife of James R. Chastain".
Problems:
1. What happened to Martin Chasteen after 1910 census?
2. What happened to James R. Chasteen prior to 1920 census?
3. What happened to Leona Gage Chasteen?
4. Who is the Sarah L. married to James R. Chasteen in the 1920 census?
James R. Chasteen and Katie Alice Huckaby divorced and Katie married a Mr. Walls.
5. Did James R. Chasteen b. 1862 marry his daughter-in-law?
Also in 1920 Census is a James R. Chastine living with his daughter-in-law, Leona.
6. Who are these people? Do they connect?
Can anyone help?

Betty,
I thank you for your offer but I already have that information. I don't have the book, but I do have pages Xeroxed from it when I was at the fall meeting of the "The Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia."
What I am hoping to find are the children of my Great Grandmother's siblings - Laura, Flora and Avery. She was Dora Carolyn Chastain.
Jane Brown Barton Chastain, their mother and wife of Peter R. Chastain, is buried on the same plot as Avery at Oakland Cemetery. I have no idea of where Laura and Flora are buried. Avery predeceased his mother by 7 years in 1921, in his 60's. Laura and Flora were also in their 60's when she died in 1928 at the age of 93.
I suspect their children would have become deceased somewhere between 1950 and 1970. What I am hoping for is a grandchild or great grandchild seeing my post and responding.
With respects to Dora Chastain's children and grandchildren, all have been located and those that are alive are in communication with each other.
If you should run across any relatives of these persons, would you let me know.
Thanks again,
Bill Fenn

Looking for the ancestors of James Chasteen, b abt 1761 VA d 1841
Rockcastle Co., KY. He was in Virginia until after his Rev War army
discharge in 1781 after the Siege of Yorktown. I am not sure of his
location 1781-1787. In her widows pension request Nancy Kennedy Chasteen
stated one of her children was born in Virginia and the other 5 were all
born in Kentucky which accounts for all years 1788 through 1799. Census
records account for their location 1800-1840 in KY. (My ancestor, Johnson
Chasteen, stated in the pension files that he was the third child born to
Nancy and James Chasteen.)
I really believe that we have just not found the variant spelling of the
surname of probable brothers James Chasteen and Jesse Shasteen in Virginia,
and/or we are looking in the wrong Virginia places, and/or we are looking
for the wrong ancestors.
Why did James Chasteen enlist in the Rev Army in Fluvanna Co., VA when he
did not live there?
There was a Francis SHATTEEN who named as administrator of his estate his
daughter and son-in-law John and Margaret SHATTEEN Martin. Judith Martin,
daughter of John and Margaret Shatteen Martin, married Rene Chastain Sr. I
have found military payroll rosters for James Chasteen and Jesse Shasteen
with both of their surnames listed as SHATTEEN. James and Jesse served in
different Rev Army units. Is it just a coincidence they both have the same
spelling as their possible great grandmother Margaret Shatteen Martin?
Should we be looking for two Chastain branches for our ancestors (Francis
Shatteen and Rene Chastain Sr.)? Is our real ancestor a male descendant of
Francis Shatteen rather than Pierre Chastain?
Would appreciate any input or assistance with this search.
Thanks
Joe
