Hi, I am new to this list, so I would appreciate any help at all !!!! Here is what I have of my line so far:
My ggg grandparents:
William B. Chastain, b. 1856 GA, d. ?? m. Louminia Yarborough 27 Oct 1879 Cullman co. AL. Louminia (AKA Minnie Lou) b. 28 Nov 1859 Jefferson Co. AL d. 25 Oct 1932 McCulloch Co. TX buried in Pear Valley Cemetery, McCulloch Co. TX. d/o Elbert Yarborough and Sarah E. Russel, both born in AL
children that I know of:
1) James Maxwell "Mack" Chasteen b. 8 Sept 1883 Pickens co. GA d. 14 June 1953 TX, buried in Pear Valley Cemetery m. Sarah Elizabeth Willman, b. 30 March 1890 Travis Co. TX, d. 15 March 1969, buried Pear Valley Cemetery. d/o Samuel Matthew Willman and Mary Ann Cox.
2) Joe B. Chastain b.3 Sept 1881 d. 3 June 1942 Richland Springs, San Saba Co. TX, buried in Richland Springs Cemetery m. ??? (working on this info now.. just found Joe's info)
3) Nancy Chastain m. Mr. Wright (lucky her !!)
4) Ellen Chastain m. Mr. Jones.
Story goes that Mack and Joe were caught making moonshine, and ran from the law, and came to TX. {this gives a whole new meaning to the song, "White Lightening" for me !!} The sisters, and parents stayed in GA. Mack spelled his name EEN, and Joe- AIN. I can't find William now. We are guessing he died in GA, and Louminia came to TX to be with her sons. (?) Or they could have divorced, who knows !!!
I have been told the father of William is James Witt Chastain, b. 1822 SC d. ?? m. 2 April 1846 to Jane Powell, b. 1830 GA.
Father of James is Obediah Chastain, b. 1790 NC.
That is all I have, and I'm trying to find my link to Pierre Chastain. If anyone could help, I would surely appreciate it !!!
Thanks !!
Laura
