In searching for ancestor connection, a fellow researcher provided the following information from the 1850 Whitley County, KY census: 1, Samuel Shadowns, age 54, wife Ciller, age 51, children Ann age 13 and William age 11. This in district 2-400. 2. In district 1-519 is another Samuel Shadowen age 55, wife Nancy age 50, children Reuben age 18, Miles age 15, Jane age 14, Sally age 12, Hamilton age 11, John age 8, James age 7, Juda age 5 and Luisa age 3. 3. In district 1-518 is John Shadowen age 30, wife Polly age 28, children Samuel age 7, George age 6, Lewis age 5, Nancy age 3 and James age 1. The Samuel I was tracing is NO 1, Samuel Shadowens, AKA Samuel Chaudoin, s/o of Andrew M and Sarah Matthews Wheeler Moore Chaudoin. Andrew was apparently the first of the Chaudoin to move to KY, settling in Green County about 1795. The son, Samuel O was born about 1796 and married Prescilla (Ciller) Chandler about 1818 in Washington County, KY. They lived several places in addition to Whitley County, including Indiana in their first years. I am trying to connect a daughter Emmaliza, born about 1828 in Whitley County to this couple. She married Bennett Powers 1849 in Campbell County, TN, they subsequently moved to Lincoln County, KY. I have no idea who Samuel NO 2 is, or the branch of the family that he would connect. No. 3 John may be his son? Appreciate any comment or suggestion. Gene Martin

I don't seem to have the group address here at work. My job at the library is to help other people do genealogy research and I was given a letter that had been mailed to our city hall from a fellow in France doing research on his wife's family who happened to have come from France to Muscatine, Iowa. Anyway in doing research for him I came across the fact that he and I are distantly related through my mothers side! Small world isn't it. During these emails he and I've been passing back and forth across the Atlantic he commented on my surname and asked if I had done any research in France. I told him no, that no one here in the USA have been able to break the boundaries of French research. So he has offered to send a letter on to the Mormon Research Center in Paris. Attached is a copy of the letter. It is of course in French but I thought I'd share it with the group. This gentleman happens to work in the French government as an under secretary! I hope this brings forth fruit.....

Hello, Folks, Please look over this timeline that I have created from various sources. I have tried to list the names of those who graciously shared their information with me and/or other resources and build upon a theory indicated in one resource. If I have failed to give someone credit, please let me know so that I can correct the error. It would not be my intention to claim anyone's great contributions in attempting to build this family lineage. It is my THEORY that the surname of SHATTEAN as seen in records below may actually be another variant for the CHAUDOIN surname, and that possibly our FRANCOIS CHAUDOIN was named for his grandfather given in records as FRANCIS SHATTEAN and perhaps Francois Chaudoin's father could have been named John (as John SHATTEAN) in the record below. And...evidently a French coat-of-arms exists for the CHAUDOIN surname according to the resource below. I would appreciate your input and/or rebuttal, etc., as we still try to zero in on this ancestral family. I will not be offended. I believe Sheila Chaudoin pointed out that the surname of CHAUDOIN was a viable surname in France. Sorry to be so late in getting this together. It's been a long 2 years of watching my sister's battle with cancer and finally helping to care for her. She lost her battle December 2nd. I wish all of you a very Blessed & Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Audrey Timeline for Francois Chaudoin In 1700-1701 over 300 French Huguenot refugees under colonial authorities settled on the southern bank of the James River in King William Parish, named for the 10,000 acres donated by King William III, & located in Manakin (Town), Goochland Co., VA. Manakin is about 15 mi. west of Richmond, Henrico Co., VA on Rt. 6 (Patterson Ave.) & River Road. A bridge across the James River on River Road in the West-End of Richmond is called the Huguenot Bridge. (Source: 1993, Jeter GRIMSLEY, now deceased; Robert RIGHTER, Aug 1997) " French Huguenot Connection While there can be little doubt that the Chaudoin family that settled in Henrico County, Virginia (later Chesterfield County) was of Huguenot descent, no proof of this has been found. Not only is the Coat of Arms for the Chaudoin name French (see Roeland's Supplement to Riestap's Armorial General, Volume IV), but the Chaudoin's settled in the area where land was granted to the Huguenot by the Virginia Assembly in 1705. (Bewrley's History of Virginia, p. 244) Despite this, however, the Chaudoin name does not appear on the list of French Protestant Refugees who settled in Virginia. (The Douglas Register pp. 372 thru 374). The only possible references to connect his family with the Huguenot refugees are these: (I) Henrico County, Virginia Orphans Court Bk. (1677-1739) p. 91 dated 21 August 1704 states: It is ordered that the clerk take bond with security of John Martin for the Administration of the Estate of Francis SHATTEAN, deceased...and" (2) Henrico County, Virginia Wills and Deeds (1697-1704) p. 390, 1 November 1703 states: Administration granted to John Martin and Margaret his wife on Francis SHATTEAN estate." (Source: MORGAN, James E. , Jr, compiler, "Ancestors of James E. Morgan, Sr. & Maggie Lee Lawson Morgan", McDowell Publications, Utica, NY, Chapter XXXV, THE CHAUDOIN ANCESTORS, pp. 1,2,3: "The first known ancestor of Andrew Chaudoin, Jr., who married Sarah Penick, was Francis Chaudoin (see Penick Chapter XXIV).") [Could it be possible that the original immigrant be yet another Francois/Francis carrying the variant spelling SHATTEAN, instead of CHAUDOIN? Since Virginia was mainly English and most scribes/record keepers spoke the English language, perhaps Chaudoin sounded like and was written as SHATTEAN. Could our ancestor, Francois Chaudoin b ca 1718 possibly be a grandson of Francois/Francis SHATTEAN and possibly a son of the John SHATTEAN (see 1749) mentioned in another record seen below? ASH] FRANCOIS CHAUDOIN (aka Francis Chaudoin), perhaps the son of a John SHATTEAN, was born ca 1720 possibly in France. He is the first known and validated ancestor in America of this family surname. He was identified by a book of early Virginia Baptists. Although Francois was not an original land holder in Manakin Town, he did own 50 acres and a town lot. He owned various amounts of land in various Cumberland Co., VA locations. (Source: 1993, Jeter GRIMSLEY, now deceased; Robert RIGHTER, Aug 1997) In 1739, one "Francis CHADELL", possibly Francis CHAUDOIN, was listed in Book 3, p. 268. (Source: JONES, W. Mac., The Douglas Register, J. W. Fergusson & Sons, Richmond, VA , 1928, p. 389) 26 June 1749 "George Renyer Turner of Chesterfield to Robert Hudson. 26 June 1749, sold 400 A. for Pound 20 in Cumberland. formerly Goochland, on Lower Manakin Creek. bounded by JOHN SHATTEAN, Widow David. Daniel Garaat, dec'd., John J. Dupuy and Stephen Watkins." (Source: Internet, 2002, Drewa, Vernon H. Jr., July 15, 1998: http://www.drewa.com/Some%20Turners%20of%20Virginia.htm, "SOME TURNERS OF VIRGINIA" by Louise Patton Richardson Turner, p. 15) Francois Chaudoin is believed to have married ca 1750 to Sarah WEAVER. About Sep 1757 Francois/Francis CHAUDOIN deserted the Virginia Militia during the French & Indian War. His & others' names appeared on a VA Gazette WANTED newpaper poster dated Sep 1757 with the about 39 year old Francis being dark-complexioned, a 5'4" Frenchman with the occupation listed as barber. A bounty of 40 shillings was the price placed upon his head, but there is no evidence that he was ever apprehended. Governor DINWIDDIE formed the militia with promise of land bounty and money to join, but when his promises didn't materialize many deserted. DINWIDDIE was loyal to the Crown at that time, but others were not. (Source: Brad COLLINS, Decatur, IL at [email protected], Aug 1997 as received from Sheila CHAUDOIN; Robert RIGHTER's Webpage, Aug 1997 at http://www.q-com.com/users/spatch/chaudoin.html) 26 Jan 1757 Francis CHAUDOIN of Cumberland Co., VA sold 135 acres of land for £50. (Source: Cabell, Priscilla Harriss, "Turff & Twigg", Vol. 1 The French Lands, p. 371) (See: Patentees of the French Lands at http://huguenot-manakin.org/patents.html) Then in Chesterfield County, Virginia is recorded: 26 January 1757, Francis Chaudoin of Cumberland County, Virginia, sold 135 acres of land, bound on the land of John Mareset, Mary Faur (Fore), and William Martin. The deed further states, 'That this 135 acres having once been part of a land granted to the French Huguenots.' Whether or not Francis Shattean is indeed a grandfather or other relative of Francis Chaudoin born ca 1720 has not been determined. It also has not been determined that the land sold by Francis Chaudoin in 1757 was connected with the Shattean estate of 1703. "However, the location of the land, the name Francis, and since the MARTIN family was involved in both deals suggest such a connection." (Source: MORGAN, James E. , Jr, compiler, "Ancestors of James E. Morgan, Sr. & Maggie Lee Lawson Morgan", McDowell Publications, Utica, NY, Chapter XXXV, THE CHAUDOIN ANCESTORS, pp. 1,2,3: "The first known ancestor of Andrew Chaudoin, Jr., who married Sarah Penick, was Francis Chaudoin (see Penick Chapter XXIV).") On 16 Nov, 1761 a marriage of Francis "SHODOANG" to Sarah WEAVER was recorded, but this probably actually occurred years before. The Douglas Register, page 293, list the birth of three children to Francis Chaudoin & Sarah Weaver and the Will of Samuel Weaver names Sarah Chaudoin as a daughter. (See Weaver Chapter XXXVI) (Source: JONES, W. Mac., The Douglas Register, J. W. Fergusson & Sons, Richmond, VA 1928, p. 117: Marriage Record) According to the records, Francis Chaudoin, lived in both Chesterfield and Cumberland Counties. Cumberland County records were nearly completely destroyed and is listed as one of Virginia's 'burned counties'. However, we do find that Francis Chaudoin was on the Cumberland County Tax List from 1782-1785 with 163 acres of land and from 1787 to 1799 with 113 acres. That in 1800, the estate is listed with 44 1/2 acres. We also find this in a British Merchant Claim: "Francis Chaudoin: 4 pounds, 2 shillings. Bond Warwick Store (Chesterfield County) 'Died about 4 or 5 years ago. Very poor and was in low circumstances several years before...' (These claims were by British Merchants attempting to secure payment for merchandise purchased before the Revolutionary War. The reports were made by their merchants.) >From the above information, we can conclude that Francis Chaudoin was born in 1718, married Sarah Weaver before 1754 (birth of first child) and died before 1800. Moreover, despite his 'poor circumstances', he was shown on the tax list as owning a few slaves, several cattle, horses, plus land, making him a middle-class farmer. Children Francis Chaudoin and Sarah Weaver had six known children: Lewis, John, Jesse, David, Francis Jr., and Andrew. Little is known about Jesse or David except that Jesse was born 18 September 1763 adn must have died young and David was born 15 February 1766, married Marg. M. (last name unknown). David appears on the Cumberland County Tax List from 1790 through 1801. The following account is given of the other four sons."

There has been a concensus that Benjamin was s/o Francis Chaudoin, Jr. and his wife, Mrs. Judith (???) Hutchings-Chaudoin. His middle name is thought to have been Samuel. Looking at what I have gathered together on Benjamin with input from many seasoned researchers, I have this: Marriage bond was posted 28 Feb 1818 with bondsmen: Benjamin CHAUDOIN & Joseph B. SUBLETT and with Phebe GUPTON giving her consent on 26 Feb 1818. They were married on 1 Mar 1818 with witness being William WRIGHT. Lived 1850 Green Co., KY. Benjamin CHAUDOIN, farmer, age 56y, lived Green Co., KY in 1850 Census at #131 and real estate valued at $487.00. Living next door in 1850 at #132 was his son, Reuben, and Reuben's wife, Matilda. In 1860 Census Green Co., KY Benjamin, age 66y, was enumerated at #425 as farmer worth $680 in real estate and $300 in personal property. Also, living with the family in 1860 was Miskel TAYLOR, male farmhand, 18y, b KY; Elizabeth WILLIAMS, 17y, b KY; & Mary J. DOBSON, 22y, b KY. Living next door to them at #426 in 1860 was Asbury & Phoebe (CHAUDOIN) SUFFETT. In 1860 they lived close to the Metcalf Co., KY line. Died 8 May 1869. Buried "Kidwell Cemetery"/Chaudoin Cemetery on farm later owned by Arthur CHAUDOIN on Pierce-Donansburg Rd., Green Co., KY. Now, we have listed this for Reuben Chaudoin, s/o Francis Chaudoin and Sarah Weaver, who you indicate is the father of Reuben according to the reference. Reuben Chaudoin b ca 1756; m 1785 to Elizabeth Stewart, but first child being born is listed as Lewellen/Lewellyn J. CHAUDOIN b 1807 leaving a gap of 22 years from marriage to birth of first known child, if the the info is correct. Certainly there would have been other children before 1807, and Benjamin S. Chaudoin could fit into this family as Benjamin Stewart Chaudoin. Then we have Reuben b ca 1756 marrying 1841 to Matilda Hooper. We have nothing on a marriage to Elizabeth Ribley. With a s/o Benjamin named Reuben there is a possibility that Reuben was named for his paternal grandfather or for an uncle. This certainly raises some questions as to the true parentage of Benjamin S. Chaudoin. Does anyone else have information and documentation that states who his parents were? Does Ancestry.com list the name & e-mail of the person giving this information as such. Would appreciate any additional insight as Benjamin is my hubby's ancestor. Audrey
