Hello
My GGGGRANDFATHER was Major John Bunyan Chastain, he was a brother of Jeremiah S. Chastain their parents were Captain Benjamin Chastain and Rebekah Denton. They were the first of our line who came into North GA. from Pendleton District, S.C. Today it is Pumpkin-Town, in Pickens County close to Easley S.C. about 20 miles East of Greenville. I was there in Oct. 2003 the old home stead still stands and 3 Chastain cemeteries are located within a few miles of PumpkinTown.
Captain Benjamin Chastain was the first Indian agent in what is now Fannin County. He and his wife Rebekah Denton Chastain are buried at the old Antioch cemetery near the old Fort Chastain which now lies under Blue Ridge Lake. One of John Bunyan and Jeremiah S. brothers was Col. Elijah Webb Chastain who became a U.S. Congressman about the time of the Civil War.
For your information Benjamin F. Chastain born in 1844 in Lumpkin County, Ga. married Sarah Kilgo and they had a child.
That is all I have on his line.

Looking for information on Benjamin F. Chastain, son of Jeremiah, who
was b. about 1844. In looking at the 1880 Lumpkin Co. GA census, he had
married Sarah Kilgo. And it looks as if she brought two children into
this marriage, Mollie and Willie.
Does anyone have an information on this family? I have interest in the
Kilgo children.
Thanks for your help.

Goshen Baptist Church, Gilmer Co, GA., is in the process of compiling a
history of the church. They would like to include pictures of all of
their ministers. They have done so with the exception of one - Joseph
Pearson Chastain (1830-1918).
Can anyone help with this request?
