Sina Gage 2/10/03
This is what I have to date:
Martin Chasteen (son of Robert James Chasteen and Katie Alice Huckaby) married Leona Gage 1905 Okmulgee, OK (have marriage cert.)
1910 Okmulgee Census lists Martin Chasteen and Leona with their daughter Alice I. and Martin's brother "Mana".
Have NOT been able to find James Richard Chasteen prior to 1920 Census in Okmulgee listed with wife Sarah L., 26, b. TX parents Tx Tx and Alice, daughter 12, Charles, son 8, and Frank, son 6.
Also in 1920 Okmulgee census is Martin's brother, Benjamin Maney Chasteen with his mother Alice Walls.(Robert James Chasteen and Katie Alice Huckaby divorced and Alice remarried a Issac Walls.He died and she moved in with her son Maney who never married.Maney Chasteen is buried in the Little Cemetary in Little, Ok, just outside Seminole, OK.
In the Huckaby Cemetary outside Okmulgee is "Leona Chasteen, wife of James R. Chasteen, 1916".
Martin Chasteen disappears by the 1920 census.I have searched page by page in all census records from the Mississppi to California.....NOTHING!!!!!!
On the 1930 Okmulgee, OK census is listed:
Jim Chasteen, 45 AR GA AR b. 1885
Leona43 TX Tx MS
Charles19 OK AR TX
Frank17 OK AR TX
Lewers, Thelma18 OK MS TX b. 1912
Lucile17 OK MS TX b. 1913
Found marriage license for Leona Bullard m. to James Lewers in Antlers, OK 1910.
Weird!!!!!
What happened to Martin Chasteen?
What happened to Sarah L. (?) Chasteen?
Is this Alice the same as Alice listed with Martin and Leona on 1910 Census?
Have a copy of NARA Creek file on Martin Chastain as the father of illegitament son, Albert Chasteen Lowe, mother was Suzy Lowe, daughter of brother of Katie Alice Huckaby...Randolph W. Huckaby and Elsie Lowe (Indian) dated 1906, states Martin is dead.
Alice was born in 1907?Curious!!!!
Have marriage license for Alice Chasteen and Virgil Finis Mantooth where her "father" signed....James R. Chasteen.
Have Alice Chasteen's death cert...which she told the funeral info on when she filled out data when her husband died...stating her "father" was Martin Chasteen....
Weird!!!!!
Theory 1:
Martin died....flu epidemic....WWI...etc.
Sarah L. died....flue epidemic...etc.
James Richard Chasteen married Leona....and raise Alice as his own child.
Found Charles' and Franks' children.....
According to Charles' daughter, Patsy Ann...Charles stated he left home when his father, James Richard Chasteen married an "Indian woman"... i.e., Leona (Bullard) Lewers Gage.....
Have land deeds from 1920 - 1935 in Okmulgee County signed by James R. Chasteen and Leona.
Cannot find their marriage license.
Have social security application for James R. Chasteen's son, Frank showing his parents as James R. Chasteen and Leona Gage.
Have social securiy application for Alice Chasteen showing her parents as Martin Chasteen and Leona Gage.
