Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I believe this is the family you are looking for.

Message Board Post:
I am looking for John W. and his family.
John and Arie are both buried at Silverbrook Cem. in Anderson, SC where they had made their home.
I believe that John's mother was P.M. Ollie and that he had a brother R.D. Chasteen/Chastain.
John married Arie Elkin b. 9/16/1879 d. 5/27/1955 and they had 2 or 3 children. 1) Ressie Margaret b. 3/9/1919 and 2)Willie Mae. Family oral history says that John and Arie had another child but I have not found a record of this person.
I have looked through all the census information on the internet and cannot find this family anywhere.
I was hoping someone in this group would be familiar with this family or could give me some advice.
Note: Ressie and Willie Mae have passed on and I am going from information provided to me by Ressie and other family members.
Thank you. Gail

Lynn,
I have found a Benjamin F. Chastain son of Jeremiah S. Chastain and his wife
Lucy Ann Lowry , was born 1844, probably Lumpkin Co., GA. He married Sarah
(_____) Kilgo. She was born ca. 1840, GA.
They had a child, Bessie Chastain, born 1879. She lived and married in the
Chicago, Illinois area. No other info given.
This info was in the PIERRE CHASTAIN AND HIS DESCENDANTS, VOLUME II, page
165, and the book is available from the PIERRE CHASTAIN FAMILY ASSOC. It
lists the generations as: Jeremiah S.5, Benjamin 4, John3, Peter2, Pierre1.
I hope this helps. I am descended from the "John3" (John "10 shilling bell"
Chastain) from the 2nd marriage. My linage is William G.7, George C.6,
Joseph R. 5, William4, John3.
William (Bill) Chastain

Hi Melody,
I strongly suggest you acquire the two-volume set of Pierre Chastain and His Descendants. Volume 2, pages 254-255 has a good bit of information on William and his family, but your other ancestors are written up as well. Arminne is a 7th generation descendant of Pierre Chastain, the immigrant (1700). The generations are listed below.
6. William and Charlotte, vol 2, pages 254-255
5. William and Eliza (William's parents), vol 1, pages 220-221
4. George and Rebecca, vol 1, pages 89-91
3. William and Sary, vol 1, pages 36-38
2. Peter Jr. and Mildred, vol 1, pages 15-17
1. Pierre and Anne, vol 1, pages 1-8
This should definitely make your mother feel connected. The books are available from http://www.pierrechastain.com/publications.htm.
You may also wish to contact the Pierre Chastain Family Association genealogist at jimmy(a)pierrechastain.com. He may be interested in the additional information you have.
Have a great day!

Jack,
It seems like we've been in touch before - a long time ago! My family comes
through John F. Chastain/Chasteen who is a sibling of Matilda J. John's son
George Nathaniel had a daughter Melvina who married Hugh Robert McCoy. They
had a son Johner Nathaniel who married Edith Bohard. They had my mother,
Opal Lorene McCoy Hoyt.
Besides Pierre Chastain book (which I've found isn't always documented),
we've found
Little Otter to Lost River: A History of the Chastain Family of Washington
County, IN compiled by Claude E. Cook in April, 1976, Indianapolis, IN to be
a good source too. It is hard to find as it's out of date.
We're headed to the Laclede/Dallas County area to do a little sightseeing
and research.
If you'd like copies of the tombstones, I do have pictures. We also have a
little info on each of John's siblings, if you need it. We have some copies
of marriage licenses, etc. for Isaac and siblings too, if you'd like. Most
public libraries now have a series of books called (State name) Marriages
Early to 1825 or 1850. These books are a great reference too.
I have a couple of pictures that I think may be the Chastains, but I'm not
sure about that. A cousin's wife gave me a bunch of old pictures that
belonged to her mother-in-law, who is my Mom's aunt. She was the oldest
daughter of Hugh Robert and Melvina Chastain McCoy. Melvina died at age 34,
so Annie helped raise the younger ones. That's why her daughter-in-law
thought maybe these were Chastain or McCoy pictures.
Anybody interested in any of the information, or if you have more to share,
please contact me.

Searching for information about Matilda J. Chastain. She was my GG Grandmother married to Reuben P. Day in either Missouri or Indiana.
Were her parents French, Native American or ? I believe she died in Sebastian County, Arkansas in about 1883. Can anyone help me with
her story or part of it? Will anyone from her line being going to the Chastain Family reunion in Sept.? I wonder where her and Reuben P.
Day met? What happened to Matilda J. Chastains parents and siblings after 1856-57 when Matilda married Reuben P. Day?
Does anyone have any photos of my GG Grandma?
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
Jack Day.
Susan; I received a Chestnut Tree in January 2005 but have not received one
since then. I thought my husband sent in the dues as I remember receiving
some correspondence from you but as he passed away in January everything since
then has been very confused . Will you tell me if I sent my dues in or not?
Thanks for letting me know about where the reunion will be held.
Sincerely, Rose Chastain Taylor
