      Califf Chenault and various other spellings, may have been adescendant of Estienne Chenault. Not yet proven as of 06-03-07. JKS

      Per 1830 Census, Caleb Chenalt was age 60-70, had males living in thehousehold age 50-60 and 20-30. Census is Amherst VA; Females in thehousehold in age group 60-70 (wife Rachel Bonds), 20-30 (possiblysister to Mary who lived with them); Elizazabeth would have been 20 in1830 and 30 in 1840; it is not Rosannah who would have been 5 in 1830;15 in 1840) and 15-20, presumed to be Mary Chenault who married John LMcGlothin. Of the two males, one may not necessarily be Caleb's sonas his age is in the age group prior to Caleb's. However, since Calebis aged 69, it is possible that he had a son aged 51. The younger mancould have been a grandchild if he was in his early 20s and a son ifhe was in his late twenties.

      *****************************************************

      Per 1840 census, Caleb Chenault was age 70-80, had males living in thehousehold age 60-70, 30-40, and 20-30.This is an addition of one maleand the males in the previous census are presumed to have carriedforward. The male aged 20-30 is probably John L. McGlothin, whomarried Caleb's daughter Mary in 1839. John is not found separatelyin the census. Females are aged 60-70, presumed to be the same personin the 1830 census age group 50-60 (Rachel Chenault); 40-50 and 20-30.The female agged 20-30 is presumed to be Mary Chenault McGlothin. Thefemale in the 40-50 age group is not mary's sister, Elizabeth, sinceshe would have been younger based on the 1850 census. There is also afemale aged 0-5 and this is presumed to be Elizabeth McGlothin, firstchild of John and Mary.

      Per Virginia Marriage Records at Familysearch.org, Caleb Chenault Sr. married for the second time in 1845. The citation is this:
      "Virginia, Marriages, 1785-1940," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XRQF-HBF : accessed 24 Mar 2013), Caleb Chenault Sr. and Polly A.H. Pearman, 08 Sep 1845.

      It is possible that this is Caleb Chenault Jr. rather than senior. Judy Spradlin 03/23/2013


      Another source (Ancestry family tree) lists Caleb Sr.'s parents as Stephen Chenault III (1703-1749) and Anstes Coffee (1708-1742) as Caleb Chenault Sr. parents. This is NOT documented nor proven.
