Their children were:

William Chastain's wife's name (no memorial for her yet) was contributed by Patti Navarro (#48874724).

Pierre Chastain And His Descendants, First Five Generations in America (Vol. I). By the Pierre Chastain Family Association, 1995.

Pierre Chastain and His Descendants, Vol I, Page 36 states that William was a "possible" son of Pierre Jr. and his wife Middy. I think it would be good to put that in the statement about his parentage. Also, there has been no proof of any kind found yet as to Middy's maiden name, so it would be best not to show a maiden name for her.

I would like to thank Jim Morell for sponsoring William Chastain's memorial. His thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.
