I don't know what area of the country you're in, but I have a question about O'Shields in Cobb/Fulton/Dekalb County Georgia in the 1940s and 1950s. My uncle, William E. Cook, married a Jeanette O'Shields circa 1950 and they had one daughter, Sherry, before divorcing. I've never been able to find out who her parents were.

The only thing I have on Maxwell Chastain is a marriage to Martha Elizabeth Davenport on 7 December 1851. Maxwell died on 4 March 1898. This is really not my line - I just happened to have the info since it is Chastain. Any further info please contact me directly at jkesmith(a)bellsouth.net

I read that he got it because of his voice. Honestly I don't know which one of his kids my family is from. My grandmother's maiden name was Chastain. One of my cousins started a family tree and that's where I got the names from. But they aren't in order or who they are married to. I've figured some of it out myself but still a little confused lol. I know Estienne(1572) is where it starts. You can email me nascarfan3174(a)yahoo.com and I'm on yahoo messenger. I'm trying to trace my mom and dad's families. Thanks for the info that you've given me.

For the older ancestors I rely mostly on the publications from the Chastain society and look forward to another volume one of these days. I have some information on John (Ten Shilling Bell)who was my fourth great grandfather. How far do you want to go into this? I can bring you forward to me and take you sideways to lots of folks. I have visited the church where he was Pastor and the site of his home where the old cemetery was and where the family erected a marker that is pictured in the Chastain book. If he is your direct ancestor, which of his children did you descend from? If it's Betsy we should connect more closely. Do you know the family story on how Ten Shilling Bell got that nickname?

for Crystal - I have Mary (Polly) Matilda Burrell, born August 11, 1862 in Gilmer Co., GA - died Feb, 1890, also in Gilmer County. She was buried at the Ebenezer Baptist church cemetery, also in Gilmer County and I may have a picture of her tombstone. I have her husband as the Rev. Joseph Lane Chastain, but I have no other information on him. The family story on the Cherokee connection in this family is that Polly's father was Kimbrell Burrell. Kimbrell's father was Jesse William Burrell and he was married to Mournin Brown. Mournin's father was Andrew Brown and his mother was Sarah Rebecca Reed (Reid). Sarah Rebecca is the link some say was Cherokee. I have not tried to track this down.

My name is Crystal. I'm the 9th great granddaughter of Jacques Chastain. My great grandfather's name was William Leander Chastain. I want to find his parents and grandparents. Also I don't have a birth or death date for William. He married Mary Mageline McClure. Mary Matilda Burrell married Joseph Lane Chastain. No birth or death dates for them either. Someone said she was Indian. Does anyone know this for sure? Any information would be very helpful and appreciated. Also I would love to share any information I have with anyone.

Hi Crystal,
Pierre Chastain and His Descendants, available from Pierre Chastain Family Association http://www.pierrechastain.com/content/pubs.html, lists William Leander on page 147 of volume 2. Born Feb 13, 1885; died September 11, 1956; married Mary Magdaline McClure December 14, 1903. Volume one, page 73 shows him to descend from Elijah and his third wife, Catherine Carson.
Have a great day! ~Tim
