John C. Chaffin
John C. Chaffin born about 1845 to Anna and Elijah Chaffin who relocated from NC around
1830 to Cherokee Co.Georgia John had an older brother Neri N. Chaffin born about 1845.Elijah and family lived in Georgia about 15 years then moved on to Clark County, Arkansas. The brothers joined the Arkansas Calvary during the Civil War and were mustered out on 30 June 1865.Neri resumed
farming in Clark County and later near Hot Springs, Arkansas.John C. dropped out of sight almost immediately after the war and was rumored to have opened a saloon in Waco, Texas, though tax rolls and census do not support this. It is told that John returned to Hot Springs Arkansas in 1902 but when he found Neri had died the previous year he left immediately, to what location is still not known.Anyone having any information on a John C. Chaffin and family living in LA, TX,
or OK during the years 1866-1905 please let me know.----Hugh [email protected]
