article about Jasper Chastain
http://museum.bmi.net/Pioneer%20Trails/Lewis,%20J.H.htm
J.H. Lewis, Jasper Chastain and Mr. Snerly decided to leave Los Angeles try their luck in making a home somewhere in Washington Territory, where they could homestead some land. These men made up a train of fourteen wagons, leaving Los Angeles at noon, April 5th 1880. Dave Bowman, a young man and a friend of the family, came along in the train. For many years he made his home with the Lewis Family. My sister, Mary, rode in Mr. Bowman’s wagon as he was chosen to take the lead in the train.
