Whitt - Chastain Connections
Greetings:
I have a non-Whitt ancestor named James Whitt Chastain (b 1813, NC) who has evolved into a pseudo-brick wall problem for me. I am writing in the hope that a Whitt researcher might know of a Chastain - Whitt connection in the VA / NC / SC / GA area, and in the 1750 - 1813 time frame.
A number of Chastains born durring this era were named after admired political leaders, inspiring preachers or famous historical figures. I suspect that my subject - James Whitt Chastain - may have had parents who held a certain James Whitt in high regard and thus named their child after him. But which James Whitt? and Why? Was he somewhow family?
Any thoughts or ideas on any Chastain - Whitt connections in the 1750 - 1813 time frame would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Clint
