Georgi - I have a lot of information on the Chalks and would be glad to send you a group
sheet on Napoleon B. Chalk and Narcissa (Sis) Tipit if you will send me an address. Here
is what I know about Sis Tipit, gathered from census records. She gives her state of
birth as both N. C. and TN.
1870 Census Hickman Co., KY, Moscow, 22 August, p. 21:
Chalk, Napoleon B., 30, b: TN (he checked boxes stating he could not read or write)
Sis, 23, b: N.C.
Nancy J., 7, b: KY
Mary F., 4, b: KY
Martha S., 1, b: KY
1880 Census Weakley Co., TN, 15th Civil Dist., 18 June, p. 16, S. D. #5, E. D. #176:
Chalk, Napolion B., 41, farmer, b: TN NC NC
Narcissa, wife, 30, b: TN NC NC
NancyJ., dau, 17, b: TN
Mary F., dau, 14, b: KY
Martha S., dau, 10, b: KY
Emily E., dau, 8, b: KY
Nancy E., dau, 6, b: AR
James T., son, 9/12, b: Aug in TN
Chambros, Susan, 45, sister-in-law, b: N.C. (could be Chambers)
1900 Census Weakley Co., TN, Dist. #13, E. D. #126, S. D. #9, June 18, Sheet 10-A, p.
208:
Chalk, Napolian B., 63, farmer, b: Apr 1837 in TN, married 38 years, TN TN
Sis, wife, 50, b: Feb 1850 in TN, 10 children, 8 living, TN TN
Joe M., son, 16, b: Feb 1884 in TN
Arthur M., son, 11, b: Feb 1889 in KY (Arthur is their last child)
Batts, Mary F., dau, 33, b: Aug 1866 in TN
William J., grandson, 11, b: Sep 1888 in KY
They are living next door to daughter Nancy J., age 36, b: Jun 1863 in KY, 6 children, 4
living, married to Thomas McClain, 37, farmer, b: Dec 1862 in TN, married 18 years)
I have searched the 1910 census records and can find neither Sis or Napolian Chalk. As
you can see from the census records, they moved around from TN to KY to AR and back to TN
in June of 1900.
I did not have the name of Sis Tipit's mother, so I appreciate your sending this. I
tried to find her and her husband on the 1850 census, but could not. If you want
information about marriages of her children, let me know and I'll mail you my group
sheet.
Hope this helps some.

Subject: [CHALK] CHALK+ TIPIT/TIPPIT
Could SKS please help me in trying
to find my GREAT aunt SISS (SISSA)
Tipit/Tipet/ Tippit born abt. 1847 NC
Living in Hickman, KY in 1860 at age
13.
She married Napoleon B Chalk 7-6-1862 in Weakley Co TN. He was born
abt. 1839 (TN). On 4-1-1864 he enlisted in the CW. in the state of KY.
He was in the 7 KY Mounted Inf. PVT.
Her mother was named Nancy A Tipit (I"m sure that was not her maiden name also).
In the 1860 KY
Census Siss has two brothers. Isham AJ age 16 and my GREAT GREAT grfather HENRY C age
15.
The mother is listed HOH 1860 as
Nancy A 52 yrs old. Born abt. 1808
NC.
Any help anyone can provide will
greatly be appreciated. This is the
nearest I've come to locating my
Tippit family.
Thank you. Georgi Tippit
