Message Board Post:
Elmo,
I found some information on your father - St. Elmo Chastain. His US army enlistment records say that he was born 22 Feb 1913. The US Social Security death index says that he died 10 Mar 1992. This information is clearly accurate and documented.
I then found your father in the census records and worked my way backward from there. All of this information needs to be verified in detail but all in all I believe what I've found is pretty accurate.
The following is an Ahnentafel Report for you.

A Google search for "Harmon Cox" turned this up on Google Books--I'm surprised nobody on these boards seems to have found this information or said anything about it. This definitely links the Cox and Landreth families and even throws the name "Preston" in there.
from History of the State of Oklahoma by Luther B. Hill, pp. 326-327
JEFFERSON DAVIS COX, one of the leading attorneys of Tahlequah, first became the pioneer lawyer of Chelsea. He was born in Walhalla, South Carolina, October 1, 1861, and is a son of Harmon Cox, born in Pickens District, South Carolina, in 1808. Harmon Cox was a son of William Cox, a rich planter, slave owner and man of influence in that district before the war. William Cox was a soldier in the war of 1812, also in the Mexican war, where he was a companion of Jefferson Davis in the Buena Vista fight. The Cox family are of English origin, and their progenitors are four brothers, two of whom settled in New England, one in South Carolina, and one in Georgia.
Harmon Cox married Adeline Landreth, daughter of Presley Landreth, who died when she was a child. Mr. Cox died in Baxter county, Arkansas, in 1873, and his widow resides in Mountain Home, same state. The issue of this union was: Frank F., of Mountain Home; Matilda, married William Pitt, of Blackcreek, Arkansas; James H., who died in Nowata, Oklahoma, in 1908; Jefferson D.; Lou, wife of John F. Williams, of Cumi, Arkansas; and E. H., of Claremore, Oklahoma. Harmon had previously had a number of children by his first marriage with a Miss Holcomb, and they were: General William Cox, a wealthy business man of Greenville, South Carolina, and a prominent ex-Confederate soldier; Allen, who was killed in battle as a Confederate soldier; Elizabeth, widow of John Stubblefield, a resident of North Carolina; Mary A., who married John Duke, and moved to Texas, and from them no word has been received for many years; and Malinda, who became the wife of Sam P. Briggs, of Kingston, East !
Tennessee.
Jefferson D. Cox completed his education in Gaskell's Business College at Jersey City, New Jersey, from which he graduated in 1883; he had come east from Arkansas, whither his parents removed in 1869. Upon leaving school Mr. Cox was appointed chief office deputy in the sheriff's office in Baxter county, Arkansas, and for some time after his retirement from office carried on farming, at the same time reading law. He subsequently removed to Green county, Missouri, and was admitted to the bar at Springfield before Judge Neville, to practice in the lower courts, and before Judge Phillips to practice in the United States courts. He returned to South Carolina and tried his first suit before a justice of the peace there; the case related to the attempt of a merchant to collect an account by attaching a fanner's cotton. He represented the defense, and won his case. He opened his first regular office in Springfield, Missouri, where he remained until his removal to Oklahoma and !
location at Chelsea.
At the time of Mr. Cox's location in the Cherokee country the practice of his profession was rather an experiment in the small towns, and lawyers frequently found themselves changing the field of their labors, in search of more promising conditions, where they might more frequently receive the reward of their work. During the first eleven years in Oklahoma he changed his residence from Chelsea to Nowata, from there to Claremore, thence to Wagoner and thence to Tahlequah in 1905. At each of these places he became a member of a law firm; while in Wagoner he became one of the firm of Cox & Coursey, and the same relations were resumed when both came to Tahlequah, being dissolved only when Mr. Coursey became county attorney of Cherokee county. In his practice of recent years Mr. Cox has made a specialty of criminal cases and practice in the United States departments, both in the territory and in Washington, where he has made a reputation as a strong limb of the law.
In the matter of business ventures Mr. Cox has sought opportunities for investment in land deals and in the promotion of enterprises for the prospecting of oil fields around Claremore. He has become the owner of considerable land in different parts of the state, consisting of one thousand acres in Cherokee county, also land in Rogers, Washington, Nowata, Mayes and Sequoyah counties. Large areas of this land have been brought into cultivation, and many acres of it were planted to corn in 1909.
In politics Mr. Cox has identified himself with the interests of the Democratic party, and in 1907 was a strong candidate for the nomination for senator; in the convention two hundred and seventy-two ballots were cast without a nomination, and Mr. Cox then withdrew, the nominee being Mr. Landrum, who was subsequently elected. He is an enterprising and business-like man, of pleasant, dignified manner, and in his ideas of subjects in general is up-to-date and progressive, and keeps himself well informed on current events and topics.
Mr. Cox married, October 2, 1884, at Mountain Home, Arkansas, Lizzie, daughter of Jeff Hawkins, a farmer and an emigrant from Tennessee. She was born in Ozark county, Arkansas, in 1868, and died in Tahlequah, May 22, 1907. Their children are: Maud M., wife of J. I. Coursey, county attorney and abstractor of Tahlequah; Mary A. and William G.
