Hello Sonia, I feel sure that this JOSEPH L. CHAFFIN is the son of one of my CHAFFIN families.
Elijah CHAFFIN and Margaret MITCHELL Chaffin moved from Greene Co., Missouri to Uniontown, KS in the late 1850s. (Elijah had moved to Greene Co., MO from Jackson Co., TN. in ca. 1840 along with his family)
In 1864 Elijah & Margaret, along with some of Elijah'ssiblings, as well as others, moved to the Bitterroot Valley, Montana from Bourbon Co., KS.
This son, Joseph L., has not been listed in the family histories that I have read/received. The 1st child listed for them that was born in KS is their daughter, Nancy, in 1859.
Sonia, did you happen to take a photo of the head stone when you were at the cemetery?I would be more than willing to pay you for a copy of it as well as postage cost if you could please mail a copy to me.(If so, please Email me and I will send you my 'snail mail' address.
I do appreciate you listing this information.This probably isn't of interest to you, but since you must be into genealogy & live in that area, you know that postings like this mean a whole lot to those of us that do not live in the area.
THANK YOU!! for taking the time to visit these old, abandoned cemeteries and posting the information.I DO appreciate it!
Respectfully,Betty Gordon
