Did you go to the Chastain Reunion that was held in Va. I believe it was in
1999 or 2000? We went and went into the Huguenot church and supposedly say
the pew that Pierre Chastain always sat in and his grave stone etc. It was
very interesting. I descended from Rene Chastain and his wife judith Martin
Gevedon Chastain thru their son Peter who was in the Rev. War. Rose
