 Includes NotesNotes for Ellen Dwiggins:
Although a son, James Willard Dwiggins was born unto Ellen in 1860, the father's name was not openly publicized. Her son was raised by Ellen's parents and he carried the name of James Willard Welborn or Wilburn until he reached a legal age at which time he changed his name to James Willard Dwiggins. The name change may or may not have been legally changed.

The 1880 census listed David Chafin as a widower and also listed a daughter (Margaret) born in 1875. This is the last known fact about Ellen that I have discovered. This leaves a possibility that Ellen could have died giving birth since she was 55 years of age at the time of Margaret's birth.

The only other clue found was that Mason Chafin at age 35 is listed in the 1900 census as a day labor and boarder living at the home of first cousin Franklin & Ivanora Legg in Pipe Creek Township.
