I am particularly interested in connecting together the Shasteen lines that came off not only James and Phoebe, but also those that came off another James and his brother Jesse who were contemporaries of James and Phoebe. Undoubtedly, all three of these men are related to the Pierre Chastain line, but unfortunately, there has yet to be evidence to document how they are related to one another and to the Pierre Chastain line. In the 1780's and before these three men lived in the same part of Amherst Co. VA with an older James Shasteen (various spellings) who would be the key to connecting them together and to the Pierre Chastain line.
Only time will tell, or maybe not. Please feel free to contact me for more information on this line, especially if you stumble across any pertinent 1740-1780 information!

I will have to look for the Oak Ridge Cemetery book which is packed away in a box in my basement.
Since I listed her burial spot in the cemetery I'm assuming that is where I got the information. But am aware of how people buy burial spots and then children bury them somewhere else. Will look for the book.

I am a descendant of John and Elizabeth Duke Yeager (#25949324).
I appreciate your Find A Grave write up on my 3x grandmother and her husband, John.
You have all their children listed on John's page so that is what I'm writing about.
I am wondering where you found a listing of all of their children? Do you have more info on this family that you could share with me? I have Elizabeth's family info if you're interested in adding to it or if you'd like to transfer her to me, that would be wonderful. I understand that Elizabeth Shasteen was his second wife and your lineage surely follows that line, but Elizabeth's doesn't.
I'm also looking for more info on their daughter, Catherine Yeager, that you have listed. Any idea who she married? Needing more info on her.
My 2x great grandmother is Mary Yeager Bower and then my great grandmother is Catherine Lucretia Bower Stroman, mother of my grandfather, Burr Ray Stroman.
Any more info you'd have on John and Elizabeth's family, I would appreciate. You can contact me directly if you would like.

wedding anniversary
I'd first like to state I am not a member of this family. But I was wondering in what year did Amber Shasteen and her husband get married?

William Shasteen
My mistake William's middle name is Franklin. I had never heard of him called Saw though. Curious if anyone knows how that came about. Thanks!
