Yes Pierre was in London for a time but that was almost 100 yrs after Elizabeth's death. Considering the historical anomosity between France and England it would be unlikely that a Frenchman would be included in a royal guard. Perhaps Amanda is referring to her material lineage.

My Chastains were in the Cherokee and Cobb county areas from the late 1800s and descend from John "Ten Shilling Bell" Chastain who lived in the Old Pendleton District of SOuth Carolina in the late 1700s. A quick check of the censuses appears to place your Chastains in Pickens County, Georgia as early as the 1860s and they seem to descend from a William Chastain and his wife Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). William was born in South Carolina about 1813. I haven't had time to look at the Chastain book to find out which William Chastain this was and who his ancestors were. I don't know anything about the Chastain connection to Queen Elizabeth, but the immigrant ancestor Pierre Chastain did spend time in England before coming to Virginia.

I am the granddaughter of Foy David Chastain and Katherine Crankshaw. My father is Jackie Carlan Chastain. My grandfather used to have the family crest and family tree that was received by way of the opening of Chastain Park somehow. My dad actually remembers us being related to the Chastain's of Chastain Park and at one point they were offered lifetime passes if they would attend a family reunion which is where they apparently completed new decedents of the family tree information. My grandfather didn't attend but my grandmother's nephew went and gave them the information they had requested and brought us back the family crest etc. Sadly that is all gone now since my grandparents death and confusion around their last wishes. I remember my granddad showing it to me as a child and being on here I see a lot of the same names coinciding with those memories.
Also, I know we are traced back to being the royal guards of Queen Elizabeth and I am trying to find information on that if anyone has anything that could shine some light on that I would LOVE it. My dad is 65 now and I really want to get this done for him.
Thank you.

I have noticed a number of researchers have linked a Marvin Chastain to Dixie Louese Herlong as her husband and father of her three children. This is inaccurate information. She is my grandmother; died in 2009 at age 100. She married Reginald Bryan Chastain, son of Emeline Clara (Emma) Burruss (daughter of Sarah Jane Elizabeth Rives and John Henry Burruss) and James Madison Chastain (son of Frances Kimber Owens and Madison Cleveland Chastain) on August 11, 1935. Some researchers have also listed a Marvin instead of Reginald Bryan as the child of Emma and James Madison Chastain --Marvin Chastain is not a child of Emma C. and James M. Chastain of GA. REGINALD BRYAN CHASTAIN 1898 - 1988 is their youngest son. He had no siblings named Marvin. Additionally, some researchers have listed Madison Cleveland Chastain as M... Clairborne Chastain -- which is also inaccurate. Just trying to help --I understand it is a lot to sort out. Thanks for sharing your information! JCC

My records show. Yes, William Chastain b. Sept 1 1796 in Franklin Co, VA married Polly Mary Thorton in Aug 17,1816 in Washington Co, Indiana, he died Aug 4th 1890 in Orange Co, Indiana. I have heard tale of the Indian line but have no solid proof to show. Hope this helps. I am a descendant of Peter 1707, William 1743,Barnett 1774, Flemming 1804,...
If I can help in any other way, just ask.

In my search I found this information:
Chasteen, Barnett and Hixon, Sarah Ann were married on 13 Dec 1795 and the Surety was Daniel Hixon.
I know is should be Chastain but it was written that way where I found it. Hope this helps someone.
