Notes for Rev. Jehu Chastain:
The following, written by Thomas Jehu Chastain (Son of Dennis G. and Nancy
Jane) of Tahlequah, Oklahoma was provided by Doug Chastain of Benton, AR:
"In due time, our illustrious forbear, the Rev. Jehu Chastain, and his
sons, imbued with a pioneering spirit, followed a western course and settled
in north-west Arkansas and the Indian Territory. Dennis G. and Jehu T.,
thrilled with the rich, well watered valleys, the rolling prairies of
waving, wild hay, and an abundance of wild game of all kinds for sustenance,
chose west Benton County, hard by the Cherokee Nation line, for their homes.
But Rainey cast his lot in the New Indian Territory, which seemed more
inviting to him. Being a friend of the Cherokees and speaking their
language fluently, he was often invited to their business councils. On
several occasions, he was sent by them as their emissary, to Washington
City, in the interest of the Cherokee government's affairs. He lived and
died in Indian Territory, near Fairland, or Afton. Dennis G. and Jehu T.
had homes near Bloomfield and Springtown, Arkansas, respectively. All three
of the brothers reared large families of boys and girls.

HI ALL:

I AM LOOKING FOR A GREAT GRANDMOTHER WHO HAPPENS TO BE A CHASTAIN.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRACE ANYONE IN THE CHASTAIN LINE
BEYOND HER -- NO FATHER, BROTHER, NOTHING.HER MOTHER WAS AN ELMS -- BUT THAT
IS ALL I KNOW. SHE MARRIED MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, SALATHIEL CHISM, IN APR
1890, IN BENTON COUNTY, AR. AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO MY GRANDFATHER, THOMAS LEE
CHISM, IN 1895, SHE DIED. HER DYING WISH WAS THAT THE BABY BE RAISED BY HER
FAMILY, THE ELMS. MY GRANDFATHER NEVER SAW HIS FATHER AGAIN. SUPPOSEDLY,
SALATHIEL RE-SETTLED IN THE MCALESTER, OK AREA AND STARTED ANOTHER FAMILY

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO NAIL DOWN MY CHASTAIN ROOTS, SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP,
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS NAMED HER FIRSTBORN DAUGHTER
DARBY CHASTAIN BROADFIELD. IT WOULD BE NICE TO EXPLAIN TO HER THE ORIGIN OF
HER NAME.
