I don't know if this will lead anywhere but I thought I might be of some help. My maternal grandmother is a Chastain, from Georgia, named Ora. Her brother, nicknamed "Coach," my great uncle, moved from Georgia to Arkansas, where we visited him, and where he died. I don't know if he had any offspring, but if he did they would have been born about 1917.
Now what's odd about all of this is that I'm a Ford, missing my paternal grandfather. My father, John Ellsworth Ford, was given over to his maternal grandmother when his mother died in 1925. We are missing his father and brothers.
I think the fact that we are both Fords with Chastains in our background is just coincidence, but a strange one.

I have a marriage license dated February 1830 in Jacksonville, Morgan County, Illinois, in which Elijah Chastain gives his permission for John Cox to marry Lydia. I am pretty sure that these are my ggggrandparents. If they are, then Lydia was born in March 1808 in Kentucky to parents born in Virginia. I know there is an Elijah Chastain who had three wives and at least twenty-one children--is this the same one?
