Hi
I would be interested in the price of your book and if it has my Eliza
Chaudoin in it. She married George W. Fields in Green Co. Ky in 1834. I have
been to the Green Co. Historical Society and I can't find her parents.
Thanks
Martha
Wanda, how unfortunate that this should have happened and the same thing
happended to me down there, but think you found the graves and didn't know
it. You should have gone to the public library there in green co. they have
a historical society there and keep the old obits from the paper. Westie GS
Benjamin S. Chaudoin , did have a son called John, but was named John M. and
was not married to the girl Bob Despain alleued to, but (m) Nancy L Williams.

I have a lot of material on theChaudoin and Drewin/Druen families but I
need more about
Elizabeth Chaudoin daughter of Andrew Chaudoin Sr (b16 Nov 1761
Chesterfield Co Va; d. 17 Nov 1845 Green Co Ky- Sarah Matthews Wheeler
b. 1762 Chesterfield Co Va d. 17 Jan 1850 Green Co Ky) Elizabeth b 1787
Buckingham or Powhatan Co Va.
I have David Drinin/Drewin/Druen's statement saying he knew Andrew in
Buckingham
Co Va. Elizabeth and David Drewin are on Andrew Chaudoin's will. I
copied their
marriage license in Green Co Court House--14 Sept 1815. At the time of
their daughter
Sarah Weaver Druen's wedding at his house David Druin signed his name
without an x.
Elizabeth and David lived in the Summerville community in the 1850's. I
would dearly
love to know when they died and where they are buried.
I visited 9 or 10 Cemeteries in and around Summerville, including the
vicinty of Brush
Creek Church but I wasn't fortunate enough to spot any of my known
relatives.
I took a lot of pictures but there was one big mistake I made. After
climbing over 2
fences I explored a field that was supposed to be a cemetery. My friend
gave up but I
felt like something behind me pushing me around this field. The third
time around I went
towards a mound of soil heaped up by a bulldozer. Actually the yellow
jonquils led me to
the large ditch that had broken tombstones and perhaps the remains of
some of my kin.
I get so emotional I still get upset after 10 years.
Sarah Weaver Druen had moved to Hart County in 1877 with Jessie P
Perkins when
there were papers to sign after her father David's death.
Anything on the children and grandchildren of Elizabeth
Chaudoin/David Druen will be
appreciated. Thank You
Wanda Perkins Stepp

Dear Mr. Manning I wrote the book Chaudoins of Virginia, and still have copies
for sale in which I give Rev. Chaudoin and also read the microfilm copy of his
dirary, while he served during the Civil War, but had no genelogical value to
it, but was a very pious man. Westie GS
Lewallen Shadowens moved to KY. and the name didn't change to Owens until that
one man used that name and he died in KS. I don't wish to disapoint anyone
but my Lewis family was intertwined into the Sloan, Owens , Tate family of VA,
and that was a early family of Welsh men and there name was OWENS. Have the
entire line and there name has always remained the same. As far as your line
is concerned you had better check out the fact that there were more than one
Reubin and when he died and where Lewellen died at. We have tracked these men
from the begining and all court documents and,etc. Westie GS
I have always been told by my grandfather that the name was changed from
Shadowens to Owens.His grandfather changed the name,while his brother
kept the name Shadowens.I know this to be fact.As far as Lewallen,I
don't know where he died,but he was in Dickson Co.Tenn.in 1860.

Notes for WILLIAM N. CHAUDOIN, REV.:
William N. Chaudoin was born, August 10, 1829, and he grew to manhood on a
farm in that beautiful country. His father was able to give him only such a
limited education as the "Old Field" schools could impart to him. His boyhood
school mates tired of pronouncing his French name, dubbed him "Bill Shad." He
was converted at the age of 16 and was baptized by William F. Luck, in
Davidson County. Just two years later in the same house in which he found
Christ, he took a text and preached his first sermon.
On May 16th., 1850, he married Miss Caroline A. Frensley, with whom he lived
54 years of unalloyed happiness. No children have blessed their union. During
the next year, 1851, he was called to ordination as the pastor of Charity
Church, fifteen miles from Nashville. The Presbytery was composed of Elders W.
S. Baldry, W. d. Baldwin, and William Brumberlow
EAST COAST ADVOCATE, TITUSVILLE, FLA, JANUARY 29, 1904. (pg.4, column 1) The
Rev. W. N. Chaudoin, of LaGrange is dead, and his hosts of friends throughout
Florida will sadly deplore his loss.
Headstone Inscription of William N. Chaudoin: "ASLEEP IN JESUS BLESSED SLEEP
FROM WHICH NONE EVER WAKE TO WEEP".
"Uncle Shad" preached first sermon at LaGrange Church, 1872. Later He became
president of Florida Babtist Convention. Chaudoin Hall at Stetson University
is named for him.
The following obituary appeared in the East Coast Advocate on January 29,
1904: DEATH OF REV. CHAUDOIN--- The numerous friends of the Rev William N.
Chaudoin, of LaGrange, will regret to learn that after a short illness he died
on Friday morning last, at his home, aged 74 years 5 months and 15 days,
leaving a wife to mourn his loss. The Rev. William N. Chaudoin was born in
Robertson County, Tenn., Aug. 10, 1829. His father was Elder John Mims
Chaudoin, of French Huguenot extraction, and his mother was Sarah Calthorp,
who died when William, her oldest child, was six years of age. After the
death of his mother, he found a home with his half-brother, Lewis Chaudoin.
His educational advantages were very limited. He thinks he did not attend
school altogether more than two years. But he was fond of books, studied
between sessions, and was able at eighteen years of age to teach a primary
school. He was converted in the spring of 1846, at seventeen years of age ,
under the preaching of Elders W.F.Luck and W.D. Baldwin, and was baptized into
the fellowship of New Bethel church. He immediately commenced taking part in
prayer meetings, and soon received impressions that he ought to preach. But
being naturally timid, and lacking in education, he fought these impressions
for two years, and then yielded, preaching his first sermon on April 2, 1848.
In March, 1849, his church, New Bethel, gave him a license to preach. The
year following, on May 6, 1850, he was married to Miss Carrie A. Frensley, of
Davidson county, with whom he has lived most happily for over fifty years.
For several years during this period of his life he taught school for a
living, and labored as a volunteer missionary. He was ordained in February,
1851, by Elders W. S. Baldry, W. D. Baldwin and William Brumberlow, at the
request of Marrowbone church, whose pastorate he was at the time supplying.
During the year 1853 he was pastor of the Second Baptist church at Nashville,
visiting it twice a month.
In the fall of year he moved to Nashville, where he taught, and continued to
preach to the Second Baptist church. During his pastorate with this church,
and while conducting revival meetings, he contracted a heavy cold, and has
never been well since. By the spring or (sic) 1854 he was a confirmed
invalid, and his friends thought he would soon pass away with tuberculosis.
He was advised by his physicians to go south, and in November, 1856, he left
Nashville for South Georgia, locating in Macon, and becoming, at first agent
of the Bible Board of the Southern Baptist Convention; later, the secretary of
the State Bible and Colporter Society, and still later, principal of the
academy for the blind, an institution of the state, also located at Macon.
A year later he resigned his position and entered upon the work of pastor in
Southwestern Georgia. Later, he became an agent for the Home Mission Board,
because he thought this sort of work suited his health better, which, all
along, had continued very poor. For two years he worked only in Georgia. Then
he was commissioned district secretary for Georgia, Alabama and Florida. In
spite of his poor health, he did a good deal of evangelistic work along with
his other work, and was regarded by many as one of the ablest preachers and
one of the most successful evangelists in all that part of the state. His
agency work in Florida finally resulted in the organization of the State Board
of Missions, and he was chosen corresponding secretary, which means
superintendent of mission work. From then-about the year 1876-until his death
he has continued in the work, and has been more closely identified with the
Baptist cause throughout the state then any other man.
He was better known, and, without doubt, more universally loved than any
other Baptist minister in Florida. He was one of the wisest leaders that any
cause ever had, and much of the prosperity that has attended the mission work
is due to this able superintendency, seconded by the co-operation of the board
of missions that always had absolute confidence in him, and has always stood
by him. For many years he has also occupied the honorable position of
president of the Florida Baptist Convention. Viewed from any standpoint, Elder
Chaudoin was conceded to be a great man. He was deeply spiritual, full of
faith and the Holy Ghost, yet having in the highest degree the courage of his
convictions, genial and companionable, wise and conservative, tactful and
resourceful, having a big brain which has been highly cultivated by reading
and observation, a frail body, but a soul which is bigger, if possible, than
the body, a sagacious leader, and effective preacher, a loyal friend, a true
man.
Such was W. N. Chaudoin. It was for his symmetry of greatness and nobility
of character that Stetson University, two years ago, bestowed upon him the
honorary title of doctor of divinity. It is an act of simple justice to say
that much of Dr. Chaudion's usefulness in the Master's work has been due to
the affectionate and sympathetic ministration of his devoted wife, who, having
no children to care for, has given her life to ministering to his feeble body.
And who will say that her reward in the better world will not be equally as
rich as his own? Funeral services were held Sunday morning at 10 o'clock by
Rev. L. D. Geiger, secretary of the Baptist State Board of Missions, and the
deceased was laid to rest in the LaGrange cemetery, Baptist ministers acting
as pallbearers.
The following article appeared in the East Coast Advocate
The Doctor and Preacher Surprised
Last Saturday evening, after paying Mr. C. Webber a professional visit, I got
home just at my usual time for supper, and my wife told me I would have to
wait a few minutes, as she was looking for Rev. W. N. Chaudoin and wife and
Rev. B. A. Geiger and wife to take supper with us, and in a few minutes they
arrived. She also said that it was Uncle Chads birthday, and I thought that
the supper was for his and my special benefit, and our birthday happened to be
on the same day, I being fifty-four and Uncle Chad just a round dozen more,
and I concluded to remind him of it and my good wishes by presenting him with
a pocket knife, after partaking of an old- fashioned Kentucky supper (my wife
being a native of that state, knows how to prepare and dispense them), and
which we did ample justice to, and hope we may be spared to partake of many
more
After supper we were again surprised, and agreeably so, by the addition to
our company of G. P. Anthony and G. H. Blount and wife, and for the rest of
the evening the scintillations of wit and sparkling repartee that emanated
from each one present, and especially from Uncle Chad, were enjoyed by all.
About ten o'clock Brother Geiger got up and placing his hand upon a beautiful
rocking chair, said he wished, on behalf of the church and in token of their
esteem and love, to present it to Uncle Chad (and as Aunt Carry was occupying
it at the time), the contents also. Well, I rather think Uncle Chad was
slightly surprised, and while I was enjoying with the rest the surprised look
of Uncle Chad, he turned to me and said that they had remembered me also, and
handed me a present of a beautiful pair of saddlebags, hoping that I would
find them useful. Well, then it was that someone else was surprised, and as
some of the members of the church were not present, I wish in this way to
tender them my thanks for their thoughtfulness and their present to me.
We were then treated to some excellent music by Messrs. Geiger, Blount, Day,
Anthony, Mrs. Blount and Mrs. Day. After a prayer by Uncle Chad and the
company disperse to their homes, and I do not know when I have had such an
enjoyable evening.
B. L. Wills.
The following article appeared in the East Coast Advocate; June 14, 1895:
The Preacher Gets a Pounding
Yes, I have been trying hard to behave myself, but in spite of my best
efforts, on last Friday night I was surprised, by the brethren and friends
from LaGrange and Mims as well as from Titusville , in my home; and, well such
a pounding as I received demonstrated more forcible than words can express
what the people think of me and mine.
Yes, they pounded hard and heavy-grits, rice, meats, milk, potatoes, onions,
squash, corn, flour, sugar, meal and even a tiny streams of silver, to the
tune of one hundred and fifty cents. How did we feel? Well, just put
yourself in the place of a poor preacher, when the larder is just about empty,
and his purse entirely so, and then draw your conclusion. Glad? Yes, and
thankful to the Lord for kind and thoughtful friends.
Brethren and sisters God will not forget you, for He hath said, "Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me." Yes, you may come again, and God bless you all, is the earnest
prayer of your humble pastor,
B. A. Geiger Titusville, Fla., June 12, 1995.
The East Coast Advocate, February 6, 1891; The Ladies of Sanford's Baptist
Church made a a very handsome satin log cabin quilt last year, which they sent
to the Convention to be sold for Missions, and brought nearly $50.00. It was
then presented to Reverend Mr. Chaudoin, the president, as a token of their
respect and loving appreciation of his services as their president for so
many years. Mr. Chaudoin knows well how to value the gift, and he is proud to
show it to his many friends. All who have seen it admire it very much.
Notes for CAROLINE AMANDA FRENSLEY, CARRIE:
The following appeared in the East Coast Advocate, Titusville, Florida
13 December 1907:
DEATH OF MRS. CHAUDOIN
Last Friday morning, as we were going to press, the report was brought into
the ADVOCATE office that Mrs. Caroline Amanda Chaudoin, of LaGrange, had died
that morning at 3 o'clock, at the age of 82 years. She was buried at LaGrange
cemetery on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, a large concourse of friends and
relatives being present.
The funeral service was held in LaGrange church before the burial, and the
church was beautifully draped in honor of this highly respected lady, who had
a host of friends in this section of Brevard County. She leaves no children,
except an adopted son, Mr. R. R. Chaudoin, to mourn her loss. The funeral
service was ably conducted by the Rev. William Stones, of the Titusville
Baptist Church.
Mrs. Chaudoin was born in Davidson County, Tenn., March 18, 1835, and was
married, by the Rev. Mr. Stallcup on May 6, 1850, to the Rev. W. N. Chaudoin,
who departed this life about four years ago. Rev. and Mrs. Chaudoin moved to
Florida in 1871, and settled at LaGrange, a suburb of Titusville, where Mrs.
Chaudoin resided up to the time of her death.
Rev. and Mrs. Chaudoin were familiarly known as "Uncle Shad" and "Aunt
Carrie." A little over half of their married life had been spent in LaGrange,
Rev. Mr. Chaudoin having come here in 1871 for his health. The numerous
friends of Mrs. Chaudoin will miss her genial countenance in this section, and
her loss is much deplored.
Chaudoin Hall is currently a women's dormitory at Stetson University in DeLand
Florida. It is named for The Reverend William N. Chaudoin, who served the
LaGrange Community, Brevard County, Florida as a Baptist Minister for 33 years
and as a Trustee for Stetson University until his death in 1904.
I am continuing to research the Chaudoin and Mims families, the early pioneers
of LaGrange community. The Chaudoin-L, family histories recently posted to the
Internet have helped with my research.

Hello, Donna, and ALL,
If you have anything to share, please share with the whole group, if you
care to do so. The more we know about this family and family connections,
the more we can help each other . You don't have to put everything on at
once, but send information through a little at a time. This information is
ARCHIVED in RootsWeb not just for now, but even for future researchers, so
someone in the future may be of this same line, and be able to use
something, as well as to connect with you.
This would be GREAT, if you are willing to do this.
I THANK ALL OF YOU who have been helping our fellow CHAUDOIN researchers.
We have some very fine experts on the CHAUDOINs or their related family
lines, who have researched for many years, or even a short time, but have
been willing to share and help.
If you still have unanswered questions, please be sure to send these
questions through about every 2 months. We are adding to our list of
CHAUDOIN researchers every week. We never know when someone of our line
will subscribe.
And...please all, continue to share the facts, the tidbits, and information
that you know to help others. YOU ARE GREAT.
Take care.
Love & Friendship,
Audrey

It has been asked by a couple of people to put some information on the
Chaudoin list about the Mimms family and how they connection with the
Chaudoin family. The following information is taken from the book
"Background of a Bandit" by Joan M. Beamis and William E. Pullen,
published by Jesse James Publishers reprinted in 1981:
The name was from England and Wales and spelled Mymms. It became Mimms
and Mims in the 17th century. The family first settled in Virginia in New
Kent County and the name appears in early records in the late 1600's and
early 1700's. The line begins with Thomas Mims, who was a resident of
Blissland Parish in New Kent County and later lived in St. Peter's Parish
in the same county. He died in 1711.
Thomas Mims, Jr. was born in New Kent County (no date). He married
Mollyann Martin in 1699. He moved to around Henrice County which inturn
became Goochland in 1727.
David Mims was born in New Kent County (no date). He married Agnes Weldy
and died in 1781.
Shadrack Mims was born in Goochland County. Married Elizabeth Woodson in
1760. She died in 1777. Shadrack's brother was Gideon Mims whose
daughter was Kitty/Katurah Mims wife of Lewis Chaudoin.
Elizabeth Mims was born in Goochland County in 1769. Married Robert Poor.
When he died she married WIlliam Hodges and moved to Logan County,
Kentucky.
Mary (Polly) Poor was born in Goochland County. She married John James
andmoved to Logan County, Kentucky where she died in 1827.
Robert Sallee James was born in Logan County, 1818. He married Zerelda E.
Cole in Scott County, Kentucky in 1841. They moved to Clay County,
Missouri. He died in 1850 in California Gold fields.
Jesse Woodson James was born in Clay County, Missouri in 1847. He married
his first cousin Zerelds Amanda Mimms in 1874. He was killed in St.
Joseph, Missouri in 1882.
NOw back up to Shadrack. He and his wife Elizabeth (Woodson) Mims were
the parents of Robert and Elizabeth Mims. Robert married Lucy Poor.
(Lucy's parents were Abraham and Judith (Gardener) Poor.) Elizabeth,
Robert's sister, married Robert Poor. Robert and Lucy Poor Mims' son was
John W. Mims. Robert and Elizabeth Mims Poor were the parents of Mary
(Polly) Poor. Mary (Polly) Poor married John James and were the parents
of Robert Sallee James and Mary James. Robert Sallee James and his wife
Zerelda E. Cole were the parents of Jesse James. John W. Mimms married
Mary James and they were the parents of Zerelda Amanda Mimms. And of
course Jesse and Zerelda married.
O.K. I'll let this settle. If there are any questions, give a holler.
And I'll try to answer them.

I live in Dickson Co.Tenn.As far as I can tell,Reubin Chaudoin was my
ancestor.I had always been told by my grandfather that the name had been
Shadowens. He had a great uncle who went by the name Shadowens while his
grandfather's name was Owens.Reubin Chaudoin had a son,Lewallen,who
married Eliza Jones.I think it was in Lewallen's time that the spelling
Shadowens was used.Their son Warren Allen married Catherine C.Hatley,he
used the name Owens.Confusing I know.I really don't know why the name
was changed. My direct line is;
1 Reubin Chaudoin
2 Lewallen J. Chaudoin/Shadowens
3 Warren A.Shadowens/Owens
4 Alvin V.Owens
5 Noel M.Owens-my grandfather
Hope this sense,
Rick Robnett
