Benton Forsyth Chastain, b. June 8, 1840 in Georgia, moved in 1869 to Erath Co. TX, near Stephenville. His father was Elijah Webb Chastain, one of 4 brothers who served in the Georgia State Legislature at the same time. This is based on the results of an earlier search about the Chastain family in the U.S. I do not have the cover sheet for this 26-page document, but know that it was compiled by the grandson of a Rainey Chastain, possibly in the 1930's. 15 cousins in Texas want to know any information about our great grandparents Morrison or Chastain
