    1. William Firth Chastain
    2. On Saturday, February 2, 2002, I visited for the first time the grave of my gggrandfather William Firth CHASTAIN. William Firth CHASTAIN b. March 10, 1823 d. August 16, 1873 is buried with his wife Martha Ann SKELTON b. November 2, 1827 d. October 12, 1867. They are buried in a wooded area in rural Clarke County, Alabama north of Jackson, Alabama. I visited William Firth Chastain's gravesite with my Dad (last name McClinton) and my Dad's cousin (last name Chastain). My Dad's cousin is the one that showed my Dad and me where William Firth Chastain is buried. Dad's cousin said that he didn't know if Martha Ann SKELTON was the Mother of William Firth's sons from which we are descended. According to my Dad's cousin, some of the children of William Firth Chastain were sons Oliver, Elam, and Joe. (Joe's name was Joseph Julian.) Joe (Joseph Julian) is the grandfather of my Dad and his cousin. Dad's cousin said that Elam and Joe married McDonald sisters. The children of Joe (Joseph Julian) not necessarily in birth order are Josie (female), Bama (female), Dock L. (male- my Dad's cousin's father), Pearl Sybil (female - my Dad's mother), Wheeler (male), Beanie (male), Bill (male), Jack (male), and Henry (male). Any information you might have about William Firth Chastain and his wife, parents, siblings, children, etc., will be appreciated. Thanks!
