I am searching for my nephew. His birth mother, Patricia Dianne Sweat is my sister. Dianne has terminal cancer and our family needs to find Brian. He was stolen from Dianne in the early 1980's and we have not seen him since.
His father was James E. Chastain, a truck driver from Fresno, CA. His former wife was Barbara Biggs, from Calif. Brian has two half sisters and a half brother. Can you help?

I don't know a lot about this line, but this is by memory. I have an interesting story to share about Laura Bell. My Grandma told me that Laura on her death bed just before passing away, she had been very ill and not very responsive, when she opened her eyes and looked up then said "look at all the pretty angels." Then she drew her last breathe.

You have been so kind and helpful I really appreciate your efforts to answer my questions.
Bessie Atkins only had to sons Donald Chastain and Joe Dan Chastain. I remember Joes dad being named Jesse Chastain. The story goes that Joes dad Jesse had one other brother came to Tennessee from Missouri.I did however find this small piece on Bessie from the Wilbanks message booard.
She married a Wilbanks after the death of her first husband Jessie Chastain who died somewhere around 1935 when Joe Sr was 2 yrs. of age.Bessie was born in 1914.

I'm a Chastain descendant, but your line and mine probably do not connect after about 1800. Mine traces from Pierre Chastain who arrived in Virginia about 1700 and his descendants, who were my direct ancestors, arrived in Georgia from South Carolina in the early 1800s. Then again, a lot of the settlers who ended up in western Tennessee came by way of North Georgia from South Carolina. Most, if not all, of the Chastains came from Pierre. I got the information about Joe D. Chastain by doing an ancestry.com search on deaths of Chastains in Tennessee. There was only one Joe D. Chastain on the Social Security Death Index. Since he was not born until 1933, it won't be possible to find him in the US census until 2012, when the 1940 census is released to the public. It's possible that his unknown father and Bessie Adkins/Atkins were already married by 1930, which means it might be possible to find the family in that census if we had a little more information, such as Bessie's bi!
rth year. I'd guess it was no earlier than 1890 and no later than 1915. If you have any other clues, let me know and I'll try to chase them down.

Is this your Joe D. Chastain?
Name: Joe D. Chastain
SSN: 411-62-6229
Last Residence: 38380 Sugar Tree, Decatur, Tennessee, United States of America
Born: 23 Dec 1933
Died: 28 Jul 1999
State (Year) SSN issued: Tennessee
If so, he would have filled out a Form 5 to get his Social Security card and would have named his parents at that time, even if they were not living. You can get a copy of that document from the Social Security office in Baltimore, Maryland. The last time I checked the fee was $27.00

Do you have any approximate dates for your father-in-law's birth or his mother's birth and/or death? That information could help locate them in the US census or in the Social Security Death Index, which would lead to more information about Joe's father.

Then you are the child of Mike Roy Jordan, Jerry Lynn Jordan or Dennis Glynn Jordan. And I would guess you are a child of Dennis because someone contacted Marilyn Dawson when she had just awakened and she asked to call her back and someone wanted info on Lettie Chastain and she remembered that it was Glen. Am I right? Just a guess.
You are welcome to any info I have. I would send all of it to you except my scanner won't work with my new computer. I do have a "bunch" of stuff that goes back to Pierre Chastain in 1700 to 20 miles above Richmond, VA.

I have looked over the stuff I have and I DO have pictures of Francis E. Fox and three children of Francis' children, but not of Lettie. They are Charlie Chastain, the oldest, Joseph Edward "Felix" Chastain, the 7th child and George Clarence Chastain, the 8th, and final, my father. They are all 3" x 5" except my father and I have many of them. I have one of Joesph R. Chastain's brother, John B. Chastain.
The one that I thought would have a picture of Lettie will probaly be 96 yrs old, she was Jewel Jordan Edmon, 1712 Cross Lake Blvd,Shreveport, LA, Ph #318 635-8481. I can give you information on all of them that were born before 1978. I live in Marshall, TX.

I don't have any pictures of Lettie but I have the names of many of the Jordans. I will look it up tomorrow. I wrote a book of Joseph Chastain back in 1978 and I corresponded with many of them and I'll get the information on them and I'll write you then.

I am wondering if anyone might, by chance, have a picture of Lettie Chastain, parents Joseph Rice Chastain and Frances Elizabeth Fox and born April 15, 1889 in Jefferson, Marion County, Texas. My grandfather never knew that side of his family and I would love for him to be able to learn more about them. Thanks in advance!
