PIERRE CHASTAIN AND DESCENDANTS &
OTHER UNPLACED EARLY SHASTEEN / CHASTAIN NAMES  

 

This is a listing of names that are unplaced, not fully documented, etc., compiled in an effort to find and verify likely paternity for unplaced Shasteen and Chastain family members, at this time focused on my line, thus the focus on the very early years. Much of the information was initiated from the "Otter" book initially

For the placement of
James "Buff" Shasteen and contemporaries, with his estimated b at pre 1727, placement could potentially include::

     •  Adoption from a relative or close friend
     •  Son of another line altogether, perhaps the misspelling of a Christian, Shelton, or Shasted (Kent England names found) or what not
          •  Various Other Shasteen/Chastain Namesprimarily Chastain variations
          •  Shasteen Name Variations Research primarily Shastead, Shasted, Shastid, primarily Kent, England
     •  Son of a non-Pierre (b 1659 d 1728) male Chastain like Stephen Chastain or Isaac Chastain below
     •  Unnamed son of Pierre Chastain (b 1659 d 1728)
     •  Unnamed son of first known son of Pierre,
John (Jean Adam) Chastain (b 1721 d 1807)
     •  Unnamed son of second known son of Pierre, Peter (Pierre) Chastain  (b 1707 d aft 1775)
     •  Not an unnamed son of third known son of Pierre, Rene Chastain (b est 1713 d 1786)

For the placement of
James "J River" Shasteen and James "Pedlar" and brother Jesse Shasteenconsideration would be more extensive, including adoption, but based on estimated birth dates, would  be an extremely wider range of possibilities than for their father, including men such as Isaac Chastain below, as well as numerous other Chastain men.

Initially, I will start with attempts to develop information  upon likely placements for births in the 1720 -1740 time frame as that would cover James "Buff" b est circa 1727 and a contemporary, as well as familiarizing myself with the potential placement for James "J River" and James "Pedlar" and brother Jesse b circa 1755-1761

Various Other Shasteen/Chastain Names Collection in process Information about other names that is not so extensive, in name order.
Stephen Chastain Notes 1690-1751 Stephen Chastain Lineage — Contemporary of and believed to be possibly distantly related to Pierre Chastain b 1659, little known of lineage and descendants.
Isaac Chastain Notes 1734 - 1782/86 Generally placed as son of Pierre's third known son Rene, little documentation
James "Buff" Shasteen 1725/30 - 1793/1832 Potential father to James "Pedlar" and his brother Jesse Shasteen, or to James "J River" Shasteen

The lines of these two men are well documented as having originated in Amherst Co., VA circa 1785 and moved to Madison Co., KY circa 1792 and 1791 respectively. Have my own PAF files for both men as well as pdf files from another ardent researcher of their lines. Much has also been done by Joy Gallagher on the Jesse Shasteen line which can be read at:
