Joseph Carter Chastain was a General Baptist curcuit riding minister. He contracted pneumonia after riding in terrible storm and died at the age of 55. Joseph Chastain served in the Union Army during the Civil War. This sentiment may explain why he moved to Southern Illinois just before the Civil War and why his first four children were born in Illinois.
