Give me some idea of your Chastain family, I may be able to point you in the right direction.... the name is french. Any relation to Pierre Chastain (b. 1659 France) m. Anne Soblet? Descendants named their children Rene (male) and Magdalene for the females. One line came to VA, KY, Posey Co IN, and Hamilton Co IL....

Thanks Jon...... yes, and some also spelled it Chastine (probly difference in enumerator's:-).... didn't know there were some in Williamson. Not my line, but ties into a Carter line, who was a 3rd husband of my 3rd great from the Ham/Franklin area...
