Rev. N.C. Chasteen was three months old when his parents moved to Missouri. In 1847 they came to Stoddard County, and settled near Bloomfield, MO. Bloomfield was a mere settlement. His father stopped the oxen in the woods and said this was their home. He cut down a few trees and built a little shack which served as shelter until the log cabin was built. Here the Chasteen family lived for many years.

At age 18 he was married to Mary Jane Proffer and to this union 12 children were born.
