Stephen Chastain
Lineage
| Stephen Chastain (est 1690-1751) is one of the "unplaced"
Chastains. Per Otter pg 27: "came about the same time as Peter Chastain in
1700. He is thought to have been perhaps distantly related to Peter Chastain
at the best he came from southern France. Although the records of King
William Parish record births of sons, they are thought not to have lived to
maturity as in his will in 1740, Stephen does not name any sons, nor does
his wife who died shortly thereafter." Following are pieces of information gleaned about this man. Note that the Family Tree info is not verified, just added as a potential source. |
| Born 1690 Goochland VA died 1751 Goochland VA. Father:
Estienne Chastain (1625-1694) Mother Jeanne Laurent (1625-1686) Married 1726

Dutoit,' Peter, his wife and two daughters were living in Manakintown in 1714. As he and his wife were Historic Founders, he had, of course, been in King William Parish since 1700. Peter Dutoy (sic) had two patents. The earlier one for 400 acres in 1714 was on 'a Great Branch' of Manakin Town Creek. This branch was named for Peter and became known as 'Dutoy's Branch.' Today, it is called 'Dutoy's Creek.' This patent did not cover French land. It was surveyed by Richard Ligon on 10 February 1706 for Peter Ditnay eight years before he patented it. His second patent, which was part of the first 5,000 acres donated to the French refugees, was less than half a mile down river from the mouth of Upper Manakin Creek. This patent, (808), was 'the plantation whereon I now live'." GPS mouth of creek 37.5701475 -77.7463831, east of present day Richmond and SE of Present day Goochland |
