Is John Chastine the same John in the 1880 Madison Co., AL census and married to Sarah Kuykendall in 1878?
Please email me if you know who this family belongs to. I'm assuming that Letha was a widow and John and William are children of a first marriage. In the 1880 census Lewis is missing but Ann Holder is HH and William is age 15 but is using the last name of Holder instead of Chastine.
