RESEARCH NOTES:
From other researchers:
- Son of Edward Bruce Chastain and Melvina Rogers Mothers name also Nancy Melvina Rogers (further pedigree and many siblings available online - some siblings born Georgia, later ones in AR)
- 3 William Chastain in 1880 census (familysearch) had wives with different names. Found as W M Chastain and Malinda on ancestry.
- married in AR or Georgia?
- 5 children listed in IGI as born in OK - conflicts for 4 children in 1880 census
