[or-roots] Bonney-Chastain

[Gary Murray]

i think yolu will find that most all the bonney's that lived in the dalles and tygh valley area map their descent thru dr. truman augustus bonney, the brother of jarius.  your dates sound about right also.  i was in contact with bessie bonney in the dalles.  she had mountains of pics that she wanted to just give away.  i have no clue who got them but she died several years ago.  she was a dau. of a.a. bonney.

  I have been too busy lately to do more than scan the List postings so I guess I must have missed a segment.  Not sure how this jumped from Chastain to Bonney.  But...I glanced at the Chastain postings because the name is familiar to me.  The youngest son of Augustus Alvah Bonney, Verl Ross "Pat" Bonney (dob Sept 9th, 1902) of The Dalles, was married twice and one of his wives was Alta Chastain.  They had no children.

  The other Chastain connection in this family line is Leonard Chastain who married Callie Young (dob ca. 1898). I believe that Leonard and Callie had two children, one a son named William.  Callie Young's sister, Alice Mildred Young married Dale Augustus Bonney.  The Young family ranched in the Wamic area but originally settled near Scio/Crabtree.

  I've never researched either of these lines but simply recorded them as family information given to me by "Pat" Bonney's sister and by Alice Young Bonney's son.  I'm making the wild guess that the Chastain family must have been living near Tygh Valley or The Dalles around the late 1890's or 1900's.
