I wonder if anyone is related to the family listed below:
2. Nelson Avery Chastain (Source: Census 1870, Fulton Co., Atlanta, Ward 3, Roll M593_151; page 246.), born March 1855 in GA; died December 13, 1921 in Fulton Co., GA. He was the son of 4. Peter Robinson Chastain and 5. Jane Brown Barton. He married 3. Lula C. Dyar May 26, 1884 in Fulton County Georgia.
3. Lula C. Dyar, born December 1860; died 1935.
Notes for Nelson Avery Chastain:
1. Nelson Avery Chastain is buried in Oakland Cemetery on the same plot as Jane Brown Barton Chastain next to his wife.
2. From a document submitted to the US EPA on September 11, 1998 by Jacoby Development Corporation titled "An Application for Designation under Project XL - The Redevelopment of the Atlantic Steel Site in Central Atlanta"; prepared by CRB Realty and Lawrence D. Frank.
" The area to the south includes Home Park and Georgia Tech. Home Park, immediately adjacenmt to the site, is a community that was separated from midtown when I-75/85 was constructed some 40 years ago. This former Atlantic Steel mill village just north of GeorgiaTech is today a mix of student renters, older residents, young homeowners, and artist. The community also includes businesses, restaurants, churches and a mosque. Both residents and real estate agents say there's a trend in Home Park toward increasing homeownership, as new homeowners are attracted by the area's blend of location and price.
The late 19th-century Home Park might be unrecognizable to those who know it today. For years, in fact, the area was known as Chastaintown after Avery Chastain, a major landowner, ans was a center for horse trading. The community officially became part of Atlanta in 1909, when the city boundaries were extedned beyond Fifth Street."
3. From The Atlanta Constitution - November 13, 1910
"RAKED FROM CAR STEP
A third accident for the day, in which a street car figured, occurred at 7:10 o'clock at the Fairlee street crossing of the Luckie street car line.
N.Avery Chastain, former deputy sheriff and owner of considerable property in Chastaintown, a suburb named after him, was riding on the front step of outgoing car No. 44, when the hub of a pasing wagon raked him off.
Chastain fell heavily to the pavement and sustained painful but not serious injuries."
4. From the Atlanta Constution - October 4, 1899
"DEPUTY CHASTAIN HAS NARROW ESCAPE WHILE ARRESTING A NEGRO WOMAN
Deputy Sheriff Avery Chastain came near being murdered Monday night by a negro whose wife was under arrest.
The deputy went out to Cook's district to arrest a woman. He expected trouble and deputized two other men to assist him. The woman was found on the streets and when the officer and the two men had her under arrest her husband fired a postol at Chastain and then ran away.
Neely Little, alias Brown, alias Hardeman, alias Dillard was wanted on a bench warrant charging her with larceny from the house. Deputy Chastain ascertained that she was in Cook's district and went after her.
The woman gave several names after her arrest. Dillard has been junted for, but he has not been found. He is said to be a very desperate negro not without a record with the police.
The woman denies that her husband did the shooting, and says he was not in the city when she was arrested, but her story is not believed by the deputy sheriff.
She will be tried before Judge Calhoun in a few days."
5. Article in the Atlanta Constitution Newspaper dated June 11, 1892 describes a Railway Accident that almost took Nelson A. Chastain's life. A second article that was in the paper on June 12, 1892 states he was at his home on Hemphil Avenue recovering from injuries.
Nelson was pulled from beneath the wreckage shortly after the wreck and taken to a Mr. Nances home. 3 other people died and the negro brakeman, who had a broken back, was in critical condition.
