John D Chastain in Bevier, Macon, MO b. abt 1824 in Madison Cty, AL
I am looking for my information on my great-great-grandfather, John D Chastain. He was married to a Nancy or Mary E. Jackson per family history. He had 4 children that I know of - William b abt 1853, Susan C Chastain b abt 1868(m John R Summers), Frank E Chastain b abt 1872 in Macon Cty, MO, and Norah Belle Chastain my great-grandmother born abt 1876 m Thomas Palmer 1892 or 1893 d in 1933. I have a picture that just has Frank & Norah Belle, and a couple of pictures labeled Aunt Susie Summers. The only census information I can make sense of is the 1880 census record, and John is listed as William. Family history states John was French; 1880 census says his father was born in France. His mother was born in SC, so they may be related to the Chastains I see posted here. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Gaye Jacob
