The Graves Family Association is planning a reunion in Jamestown for June 16-18. I don't know if any other Chastain members have a Graves connection, but if so, this may be a good time frame in which to schedule the Chastain reunion. The Graves reunion has planned tours of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and the Eastern Shore.
So many reunions in Virginia, so little vacation time!

Since 2007 is the 400th Anniversary of the Jamestown, Virginia Settlement,
you may want to consider side trips to celebrate the event.

2007 has arrived and I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
The Pierre Chastain Family Reunion will be held in Richmond, Virginia this
year. The reunion is still in the planning stages and I wonder if the
members of this mailing list have any suggestions that would lead to making
it one of the best ever? Reunion details will be published in a future
issue of The Chestnut Tree and on the Web Page as soon as they are
finalized.

I wonder if anyone would have stories, photos or anything that might be of
interest on Col. Elijah Webb Chastain b. 25 Sept 1813 in Pickens County, SC
d. 9 April 1874 in Dalton, GA.
He is listed in Vol. 1, Pierre Chastain and His Descendants - first five
generations pg. 75.
Below is a letter from Gov. Joe Brown (GA) to Jefferson Davis concerning
Col. E.W. Chastain.

THE
WAR OF THE REBELLION:
A COMPILATION OF THE
OFFICIAL RECORDS
OF THE
UNION AND CONFEDERATE ARMIES.
PREPARED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR, BY

PUBLISHED PURSUANT TO ACT OF CONGRESS
APPROVED JUNE 16, 1880.
SERIES I--VOLUME IV

WASHINGTON:
GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
1882.
Letter:
CANTON, August 19, 1861.
President JEFFERSON DAVIS:
DEAR SIR: Under the requisition of the Secretary of War for 3,000 men to be
thrown into camp of instruction at two different points in this State as
Georgia's quota of 30,000 to be thrown into camp of instruction, I have
ordered two regiments of 800 men each into camp at Camp McDonald, near
Marietta. On Tuesday, the 27th instant, they will rendezvous. I have also
ordered two regiments into camp at Camp Stephens, near Griffin, to
rendezvous at the same time. This will be some 200 more than you required,
but I supposed that would not be matter of objection. In addition to this
number I have tendered a regiment raised by Col. E. W. Chastain, of Fannin
County, who is very anxious to have them thrown into camp with the regiments
at Camp McDonald, and there drilled. His company was from the mountain
section of the State, and was made up of first rate fighting material.
Colonel Chastain is very anxious to have his regiment received and ordered
into camp. I have not arms and cannot arm them. He is of opinion he could
get up enough of country rifles to arm half his regiment. Of this, however,
he cannot be positive. He will only promise to do the best he can. Will you,
under these circumstances, consent that Colonel Chastain's regiment be
accepted and added to the other two regiments which are to compose the force
in camp at Camp McDonald? An early answer will much oblige. I trust you will
send forward the necessary officers to drill the regiments which go into
camp on the 27th, and that you will cause full instructions to be sent at
once, if not already done, to quartermasters and commissaries, that they may
know how to get supplies, camp equipage, &c. I should be glad to equip these
men for the Confederacy, but find my appropriations running so short that it
will not be in my power. Some of them <ar127_576> have arms, but most of
them will have none, and it is out of my power to supply them.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOSEPH E. BROWN.
2007 has arrived and I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
The Pierre Chastain Family Reunion will be held in Richmond, Virginia this
year. The reunion is still in the planning stages and I wonder if the
members of this mailing list have any suggestions that would lead to making
it one of the best ever? Reunion details will be published in a future
issue of The Chestnut Tree and on the Web Page as soon as they are
