The Index to the 1820 Floyd Co KY Federal Census indicates that the following Chafin families lived there:

Christopher Chafin,
David Chafin,
James Chafin,
John Chafin,
Jourdan Chafin,
Milley Chafin,
Simon Chafin

Since James Chafin was born in 1817, I suspect one of these families is his.

The 1810 Tax List of Floyd County has two Chaffins on the list: James and David.

James was a poll-tax payer in Brown County, IN by 1848.

 

Wish I could be of more help.
