Residence photo of the Pierre Chastain & Susanne "Anne" Soblet Chastain family came from the Eador Collection by John M. Eador. It originally appeared at http://manakin.addr.com/houses/monacan.htm Huguenot Houses in Powhatan and Chesterfield Counties, compiled by Lucille C. Moseley for the 300th Anniversary Celebrating the Arrival of the Huguenots in Virginia. The Huguenot Houses’ URL is part of a larger site the Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin In the Colony of Virginia at http://manakin.addr.com /The following description and acknowledgement appear at http://manakin.addr.com/houses/monacan.htm “The Monacan farm was once the site of an abandoned Monacan Indian village. It was the first tract of land surveyed by the Huguenot settlers. This may be the oldest house in the county./ Huguenot settler Peter Chastain received a patent here in the early 1700s. The frame part of today's main house was built in 1720 by Chastain, who left it to his son at his death in 1728; he is buried on the grounds. The younger Peter granted the property to Edward Scott in 1729 to pay a gambling debt. The property remained in the Scott family until the late 1930s, more than 200 years. They added the brick portion of the house around 1830-32./ Mrs. Collins Denny and her husband purchased the property in the early 1940s when it had no heat, electricity, or running water. They carefully restored Monacan to the lovely home seen today./ *Special appreciation to the family of the late Raymond H. Boelt for permission to use his photographs of the Powhatan houses.”/
