I was originally assuming that Judah was a male, but discovered not so. See Indian Document Vol 24, pg. 23 reporting probate of J.E. Chastine, female, and list of heirs after her death in 1884 (report mentioned her husband died in 1891, so the Document had to be recorded later, perhaps transferred from other records. Among the Children listed as heirs was J. C. Chastine, dau. married to Claude G. Braught, Indiana Territory, who owned 600 acres, 300 acres tilled before 11 Aug. 1886 -- apparently some legal deadline worth mentioning). Her daughters called her Judy E. Chastain, nee Watts. See "Indian Blood" records for the ancestry of her grandfather (William/Pleasant Watts, son of Joseph Watts, son of John Watts). This reference to J.C. Chastine married to Claude (assumed to be Cloid Godfrey) is confusing, as her name was Cynthia Azelia (C. A.) according to most records. The C.'s could both represent Cynthia (although some records spell it Synthia).
