 XIV. Chastain-Staton-Soblet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In Henry County, Kentucky, in 1810, George Chastain's name is obscured by the census taker's smudged handwriting (caused, no doubt, by his attempt to correct this name he could not figure out how to spell), but it appears to read Shateen.
In 1787, George Staton was deeded land in Franklin County, and on January 4 of the next year he bought 160 acres on Otter Creek in that same county; he sold the former property to a son in 1793.
This section of Virginia was truly the edge of the frontier during the 1780s, which may help to explain Chastain family lore that the young men of the family avoided starvation the first winter only by roasting the ear after ear of corn that they managed to gather.
