Hi Gaines! Wish I knew where Delmar came from. My brother and I have wondered this as well. Where do your Chastains live? Your Uncle Delmar? Mine lived in Indiana, Illinois and then Rainey Almarine also lived in KY and AK. Me, cousin Connie H whom I met on this board last year, and Kelvin Jeffrey , also a cousin, I just met two days ago here. I have been given some info I didnt have but still not enough to go beyond the name of my great grandfather John J Chastain.Rainey Almarine did have siblings but dont know their names. Perhaps Delmar was a sibling. I just learned that one of Raineys sons was to be named partly after my father RoyI ...Leroy, however the Aunt (sister of Hazel, Raineys 2nd wife) refused to put it on the birth certificate.(Hazel was illeterate) Now if your Uncle Delmar was a sibling or a son of a sibling we have something more to go on. When was he born? Where? I have looked on the Pierre Chastain web site and did not find the name Delmar but that was !
last year. Nice to meet you! Kitty (nickname) Email if you like or respond here and I will get notice of post.
Kitty,
You mentioned a book that had the Cherokee tie to it. What is the name of the
book?
I have been looking for Chastains in Alalla,Alabama. Mainly Jim Chastain, who
would have been my great grandfather. My grandmother, his daughter, Estella
was my grandmother. She had always said that her mother was full blood
Cherokee. He was also part.
Thanks for any help.

I am looking for the parents of John Henry Chastain b. 11/24/1864 in Cobb Co., GA, d. 7/1/1930 in Atlanta, GA. There is a good possibility that his mother was Elimira Perkerson Cox. Records show that Elmira's third husband Charles W. Pryon applied for guardianship papers for John H. Chastain on 4/11/1870. On 1/29/1885, Charles W. Pyron, guardian of John W. Chastain applied for letters of dismission. John would have been 21 years of age. Elmira was married second to a Sprag(g)in. Who was her first husband, the father of John H. (Henry) Chastain? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If you reply to a specific person regarding a Chastain ancestor, please
address your reply to the specific person rather than to the entire Chastain
list.
I know I have the answer to this somewhere, so excuse me if this seems like a
dumb question--Was Pierre/Peter, Jr.' s wife, Mildred, originally a Witt,
married first to ? Archer, then to Peter?
Thanks-
ABC

Connie, do you have the date and place that Rainey A and Hazel married. The picuture I saw of them was taken in KY but dont know where. Lovie Mae lived in Terre Haute Ind. and my Dad was born in Lawrenceville or Mt Carmel. I remember meeting a man and woman in Vincence Ind. and I think it was Rainey A. father and step-mother. I recall it was a house by a railroad track. he sat out there in his rocking chair with a Indian headress on and shot arrows at the passing train. Then the 'caboose man' would wave at him. This is where my love of train caboose's came from. LOL. He told us stories of Indians. Lovie Mae had Indian blood but Dad said Indian blood in the Chastain line too. I was able to discover that as fact by purchasing the Cherokee book which lists both bands, Eastern and Western. I gave to my brother for Christmas one year. You can find that in the library. Do you know anyone who lived there? Vinceces (spelling) or Lawrenceville or Terre Haute? I also think I!
have a picture of Rainey and Hazel WITH Lovie Mae and daughter Violet taken in Terre Haute. So they must have been civil to one another though divorced. Whew, sure was talkative tonight. Kitty (nickname)

Hi Connie! yes, that was neat to see Kelvins reply and info. I thought that it was my brother Ronald that had posted the reply but it wasnt, it was Otis younger son, Ronald (Kelvin 'Jeff'' emailed me. Sorry I cant be more helpfull on Odis. You mentioned that Raniney A had siblings. I met two uncles when I was young. They were "Tookie" and Bobbie. But, I also remember an Odis or Otis. They were teens then, I was about 8 or 9. I remember gigling that they were my 'uncles' because they were so young. The Ernest I mentioned I believe was Lovie Mae Marx family and not connected to Tookie and Bobby. I am 61 yrs young. Im sitting here looking at a picture of my Dad when he was 15 and also another one when he was 40. Both pictures bring a recall of "Tookie" as well as Rainey A. Must get my scanner hooked up to send to you and Jeff to see if he looks like
Rainey or Otis or Bobby. This is all pretty exciting to me. Also, you live in Joliet. My Dad was in prison there. He was also in a jail in Lawrenceville Indiana or Illinois and now I work in a prison in Lawrenceville VA. Gets wild huh? And I move from TX to VA to a town that is ONE hour from the Pierre Chastain gravesite and 1700 Chastain land grant! Anything you dont want posted just email me. Thanks, Kitty (nickname)

Am I missing something? Wouldn't it be better for subscribers to send their personal messages to the addressee rather than to the list?
In a months time we all go through myriads of messages that are for one person only. Why not send them to that person?

Hi Kelvin! Looks like we are cousins. Ron (Ronald) also replied to you (or Connie) he is my brother. Rainey Almarine was our grandfather. If you have read the threads then you know that Ron and I father was Roy Delmar Chastain a product of Rainey Almarine's first marrage to Lovie Mae Marx. From Ron's post it looks like he found your father Odis L in Lockport, IL. I spent a lot of time last year trying to find my great, great grandparents (parents of John J. Chastain) No luck. If you run into anything please advise. Im stuck on John J. great grandfather. My nickname is Kitty. Ron lievs in Texas I live in Emporia, VA. Nice to hear from you.
