Notes for William Newton Chastain:
"Grandpa Fred (William Fred Chastain) told the tale that his pa traveled the country in a covered wagon and that is why the kids were born in different places. We do not know WHY he traveled so. We do not know what he did for a living really. I can only guess he met Ada on his travels ,how else do you meet someone from Michigan. Which is why I do not know where he married her. But after adulthood all these folks were living within Sunday visiting distance,Fred, John, Daisy, Fannie, Pearl (Maggie died) maybe not Dee or she may have been dead I do not know."
