Hi. Read your message. My dad is Kenneth Chastain and he has a brother Dale. Their Aunt was named Bertie, but can't remember the sequence.....If you want I can ask my dad about it. He lives in Atwater, CA, next door to Merced where I grew up. My dad's dad was James Merphy Chastain, twin brother to Melvin....Bertie was their sister I believe.
My email is deborah.buchta(a)navy.mil if you want to talk.

I would like to send my condolence to you and your family.
I don't know what I will do when my father passes away, he will be 93 in August.
I am descended from Elizabeth Chastain and James Manning on my mothers side.
Again, sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to report the death of my father, "Mr. Emmett" Baylus
Chastain, who passed away on January 8, 2005, at the age of 94. He
was working in his garden, the place and work he loved best.
My Dad enjoyed being at the 2004 Reunion banquet and meeting Chastains
from all over the country. You made his day when you honored him as
the oldest Chastain present. He did not receive the newsletter in
time to see his picture, but I know if he had he would have been
showing if off for weeks.

Hi I come through this Elijah Chastain you are talking about. Through his son Elisha and his son James Maxwell and James Maxwells son Oscar Dennis Chastain was my grandfather he was a brother to Pernete who married Daniel Boon Cavender. Which is your connection I think. I would be glad to help you any way I can I belong to the Pierre Chastain Association and have the two books they have published. PierreChastain and his descendents which has the first five generations in United States.Elisha is the fifth generation. Their 2nd book only has one generation in it and it is thicker than the first. It has James Maxwell's generation in it so his children are listed in it. Get in touch with me <cbnewman(a)adelphia.net> Betty Newman
