There are a good many Chastains in Missouri. The largest persentage of them are in Southwest Missouri and the largest percentage of the Chastains in SW Missouri are descendants of Joseph Dekalb Chastain and Eliza Henrietta Neece of Union County Georgia. Of the 16 children said to be born to Joseph and Eliza Chastain 6 are known to have migrated to Christian and Stone Counties in SW Missouri between 1880 and 1893. They were:
Jefferson Davis Chastain - married Cora Ellen Melton
William McDonald Chastain - married 1). Martha King, 2). Alice Leonard
John Calvin Chastain - married Catherine Sarah King
James Thomas Chastain - married Mary Jane Offuit
Julius Caleb Chastain - married Margaret Elizabeth Rhodes (My Great Grandparents)
Julia Ann Chastain - married William Tarply Rhodes
In addition one nephew of Joseph Dekalb Chastain, John Joseph Chastain - married Julia Ann Rhodes migrated with this group. John Joseph was the son of Benjamin Chastain and Sarah Margaret Neece.
You may also notice that within the 8 couples mentioned above there are several sets of sisters who married into the Chastain family (King, Rhodes, Neece)
I have made it my goal to indentify all known descendants of Joseph Dekalb Chastain and Eliza Henrietta Neece in SW Missouri.
You can find an interactive descendancy register at:

All additions/comments/questions are welcomed. I am always interested in furthering the information.

My records start with the entry of
My information starts with W.J. Chastain in the first Pierre Chastain book. From W.J. to my grandfather the only information I have is the census records. I have an affidavit of birth and copy of death certificate for my grandfather and mother. Will this be sufficient?
