He was a prosperous farmer as his will shows considerable property and many slaves. He had several hundred dollars in Confederate notes in a bank in Athens, Tn. By the time he died, they were worth only 8 cents on the dollar. Also, mentioned in his settlement is son Jesse , who lived with them during the civil war, sold corn for 1$ a bushel to the Union army and there was a goverment voucher for $1,100 which may mean they sold other items. His settlement also states that $40 in gold was deposited by him with his son John.D. Chattin and was stolen from John D.'s wife by robbers during the war.
