Christopher Chaffin, American Patriot, Enlisted Early in 1776
By Jeannette Holland Austin

Christopher Chaffin did not hesitate to defend his country against the British. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War in Cumberland County, Virginia during 1776. Two years later he was married to Mary Ann Vawter with his brother present at the wedding. After the war, they resided in Goochland County until about 1800 when they removed to Tazewell County where Christopher died. His widow then removed to Clermont County, Ohio. To get the full story, research is indicated in Cumberland, Tazewell and Powahtan Counties into the old wills, estates, deeds and tax digests.
