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.

Actually, I believe the very first documented "photograph" was by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a french inventor, who made his first image supposedly in 1824 - but the first known permanent image dates to 1826. He later worked with Daguerre - famous for the like-named Daquerreotype he developed in 1837; he took the first known photo of a person two years later.

Ditto what others said. In case you do not know - modern photography really didn't come into being until the late 1820s. Sometimes wealthy folks had drawings/paintings done.

Gwen and Crystal, Just out of curiosity, I went to Google.com and clicked on
Images, then typed in various names: Pierre Chastain, Peter Chastain, John
"Ten Shilling Bell" Chastain, Anne Soblet, etc. Any of those names...and
probably a lot of other associated Chastain names, will bring up some photos
that are not, as far as I know, on the official Chastain website. None of
course of the very early Chastains...but some of their houses, churches,
outbuildings, as well as those that are on the Chastain website. Very interesting to
click on the little thumbnail in Chastain Images, and read about more of
Pierre's descendants.
Give it a try.

Crystal I seriously doubt that you would find a photo as old as these
people. Photography was not invented then. The best you can hope for is a
portrait or a line drawing of them. If one is available I have never
seen it. There are photos of Pierre Chastain's home and his gravesite and
his pew that is in the Rpiscopal Church in Manakintown, Va but to my
knowledge that is about it. Gwen H Skelton
