Chastain 1829-Deceased Source: Donna Forney Clark: 1. There is much information and many references at the URL above. 2. Originally I had Absalom Chastain's name spelled Absolom but have changed it to Absalom for ease in searching for it. 3. Some of the children of Absalom and Mary Polly Ruberson Chastain are listed as being born in Washington, IN. As far as I can see, Washington, IN could refer to Washington Co., or to the Washington Twps., or to the city of Washington in IN. 4. There are varying life dates online for the children of Absalom and Mary Polly Ruberson Chastain.
