H/O Susan Cooke Chattin

"Robert P. Chattin belongs to the old state of Tennessee, and is a descendant of one of its old families. He was born in Rhea county, Tennessee, April 3, 1863, a son of John D. and Susan (Cooke) Chattin. Both the father and grandfather were natives of Virginia, and the mother was born in Tennessee, where her parents had settled after moving from South Carolina. The father was a merchant at Washington in Rhea county, but later sold his place of business, and on a farm of five hundred and sixty acres engaged in raising corn and wheat and hogs and cattle, and was one of the largest farmers in Rhea county. He was Colonel Chattin of the Musters in Tennessee, and a man of great influence over a large community. He died in Rhea Springs, Tennessee, in 1869. The mother died at the age of eighty-four, on the old home plantation in Tennessee. In politics the father was a Whig during the early half of the century, and afterwards a Democratic voter until his death.

"The fourth in a family of five children, Robert P. Chattin's brothers and sisters were: John Cooke Chattin, born in Tennessee, in 1848, and who met death while he and a cousin were playing with a keg of powder around a blasting place, the cousin surviving, though disfigured for life-that accident occurred in 1863; W. F. Chattin was born on the home place in Tennessee in 1859, and is now a farmer, in his home state; Katie C. was born on the old homestead in January, 1862, was married at Harriman, Tennessee, to Professor S. W. Tindle, and has seven living children; Marie E. was born on the old plantation in March, 1867, and died in 1900 at the age of thirty-four".
