I found his death certificate on the KY Vitals site. Dallas' name was
George Mifflane Dallis (sic) Chinn, son of Gabriel I. Chinn of Leesburg,
Harrison County, KY and Mary Hicks of Mercer County. The only other Gabriel
I could find was Gabriel T. Chinn who was still living and also married to
someone named Mary, but this Gabriel lived quite a ways past 1850.
Thanks Randie!

I've picked up a death notice on a Dallas Chinn in the Lexington, Ky.
Herald, January 1911 and his wife in September in 1911. Anyone have parents
of this guy? I suspect he is George Dallas Chinn, but can't find him with
his father; the only Dallas Chinn is listed with his mother in 1850 and
1860.

In my recent emails regarding New Orleans R.H. Chinn was said to be the son
of John, one of Charles' sons and Richard's wife Elizabeth was the daughter
of Charles's daughter Sucky. Who did SHE marry? I guess he was a HOLMES
based on Elizabeth Moore Holmes the daughter.

You might find this helpful. I found this book at the Kentucky
Historical Society in Frankfort.
Triple Chinn Lineage - Hazel Chinn Besserre (1973)
Forward - Page 4
The oldest son of John & Mildred Higgins Chinn was the
Honorable Richard Henry Chinn, an attorney. He was the law partner of
that noted statesman, Henry Clay. It has been documented that Richard
Henry Chinn was the only man with who Henry Clay would ever enter in
partnership; Clay was also the only person who presumed to call
Richard Henry by the name of "Dick". According to "Aunt Eliza" in
"Social Life in Old New Orleans": "My Mother would never have dared to
do such a thing". One of the sons of Richard Henry Chinn was named
"Henry Clay" after his old law partner. In an article written by Great
Aunt Ellen Alvarez Chinn Jarvis Conway, she makes mention of the fact
that Henry Clay was a frequent visitor in the Chinn home. On one
occasion she made a handkerchief for him which he always carried and
used in the process of wiping his hands after taking a pinch of snuff.
Richard Henry Chinn served twice in the Kentucky legislature... each
time being elected by unanimous vote.
The Honorable RICHARD HENRY CHINN married his (third) cousin,
ELIZABETH (BETSY) MOORE HOLMES (with who, it is said, he fell in love
with when he was six and she was three.) The Mother of ELIZABETH MOORE
HOLMES was SUSAN (SUCKY) CHINN, a daughter of the union between
CHARLES and SYNTHE CHINN, and sister of JOHN CHINN who married MILDRED
HIGGINS. Fourteen children were born to RICHARD HENRY and ELIZABETH
MOORE HOLMES CHINN. All of the children were born in Kentucky where he
practiced law until approximately 1836. At that date he moved his
family to Louisiana and took up his practice in the city of New
Orleans.
The youngest of the fourteen children of RICHARD HENRY and
ELIZABETH MOORE HOLMES CHINN was Elizabeth Moore Chinn McHatton Ripley
(Aunt Eliza) author of "from Flag to Flag" and "Social Life in Old New
Orleans". Another of their children was Ellen Alvarez Chinn Jarvis
Conway, Great-Grandmother of Benjamin Harrison Branch, Jr, author of
the "Branch-Harris-Jarvis-Chinn" book of genealogy. The sixth child of
the marriage was our Great-Grandfather CABELL BRECKENRIDGE CHINN who
married his cousin (third, I am told) JANE McCAULAND. CABELL was
educated as an attorney (like his father) and practiced at the bar
until some time after his marriage. After that he became a planter of
Pointe Coupee Parish in Louisiana.

his daughters marriage was listed in the news paper.
So I went investigating this R.H. Chinn of New Orleans and believe him

I have a belief that a William T. Wilson b. 1797 d. between 1826 and

that I am looking for might have gone to New Orleans. His mother was
a
CHINN from Loudoun Co. Virginia.
I only have one Richard Chinn in my database but he was born 1774.
This
could be his son for all I know.
Just wondering if anyone in here has researched New Orleans.

I am a long time Chinn researcher. The info on the Wilson line comes
mainly from Ruth Wilson Dillons' "The Chinn Book" (1972). There is
much more Wilson in there than shown. She shows your target as
"William TRAVIS Wilson, b. April 1797/8 (Middleburg, Va.) Removed to
Ky. d. ae 29"
Try running a search at
http://www.lexcem.org/index.cfm/genealogy.html. Lots of William
Wilsons but I couldn't find the one you want.

Subject: [CHINN] Records and sources
Well I've also seen very detailed lines sources were Kansas City University
or something like that that said Margaret and Esther were sisters too. So
you can see how so many people can have so much different information ALL
with pretty reasonable sources.
DNA of course is the real true proof of course. But with any document you
must take into account the person writing it or transcribing it.
You can't count on any document really as a TRUE account.
My father's birth certificate says his mother of course but it says...
father unknown. Well he wasn't unknown - the knew exactly who he was. But
grandma was only 15 when she had him.
Next record I have is his Social Security application in which he listed his
grandparents as his parents. Ah HELLO DAD????? So did grandma? Lol
Then on his marriage license to my mother he listed his mother and father's
correct first names but altered the surnames so his father would have the
same last name as him. So he gave his father his MOTHER'S surname and gave
his mother his GREAT GRANDMOTHER's maiden name. oh GEEZ DAD!
Then when he died my mother fortunately gave all true information. So...
records may be deceiving. Collect everything you can on one person.

Ah HA! Thank you. I had a feeling it was Charles's kid. This would then
make sense. Thanks you've given MORE work to do now, but at least I have
something to do to look for my William Wilson. Before yesterday I really
was throwing darts at a map.
Just in case anyone cares..... lol I'm looking for William Travers Wilson
b. 1797 in Loudoun Co. Va. to John Wilson and Elizabeth Travers Chinn d/o
Rawleigh Chinn and Fanny Tarpley.
I descend from Williams brother Rawleigh Chinn Wilson who for a brief period
was in Union Co. KY but I think only for purchasing land or something.
Their other brother John Stretchley Wilson lived in Union co. Rawleigh
lived in White Co. IL. Both counties border the Wabash/Ohio rivers.
The boys mother Elizabeth wrote a letter in 1832 supposedly to William which
at that time appears he was most likely in White co. IL due to the names she
mentions for him to say Hello to.
She mentions to him her dismay of his intended plans to go to Orleans, as
she wrote it and said "you know I always hated you going to that place"....
making it sound like she has complained about his traveling there before.
Her fear was the steamboats exploding.
I've been trying to figure out why he would have gone there. Don't know his
trade, although I found a man in Loudoun Co. that he may have apprenticed
with - now to find out what that man did in Loudoun Co.
When I was recently given a newspaper article about R.H. Chinn's daughter
marrying and that he was from New Orleans..... this is what sparked my
research of New Orleans Chinn names.
NOW, Anne, you send me more KY information but that is around Lexington
which is quite a distance from my Wilsons in the Paducah KY area. But still
something to explore.
Thanks gang. Janean

The brother of Agnes Ball Chinn (she married Frank Smith) was the sister of
Richard Henry Chinn, b. 1795 and he lived in New Orleans and was a "noted
New Orleans Lawyer". This was according to an obit in the Dallas Morning
News June 5, 1887 for Agnes Ball Chinn Smith:
A KENTUCKY FAMILY.
Kentuckian Citizen.
Mrs. Frank Smith, aged over 70 years, one of the dozen children of John
Chinn, died suddenly Saturday, May 7, at the residence on the Bourbon and
Harrison line.
The noted New Orleans lawyer, Dick Chinn, was her brother, and the mother of
Mrs. William Tell Coleman, the San Francisco merchant was her sister. Mr.
Coleman recently visited her.
Of her children are Mark Smith, the congressman from Arizona, and Sam. M.
Smith, the New York broker, who married a sister of General W. T. Withers,
and Dr. Higgins Smith, of Harrison. Her sister, Mrs. Green Bedford, of
Missouri, is the last of the dozen children.

Not really ready to work on that right now. But thanks, I'll keep it in
mind. Since my mom's family came from Germany in the 1830-1855 range, I
think it's amazing. Her cousin, Myrtle Whiteside married Ovid McCarty here
in Michigan and during the depression they moved back to Virginia and that
is where their daughters married. When I saw that Chinn connection to the
McCarty line I went "Uh-oh!"
In addition to Chinns, I have Webb, Bowman, Kirtley, Bush and probably a
whole bunch more that I can't think of right now.

Well you know they say if we go back far enough we are all related.
Especially if you come from Virginia. Back in the 1700's there were only
about 4000 people in Virginia and most of them were all on the East side
counties till things started to open up.
I have 23 McCarty's listed if she is interested or you are in checking with
me on some of it.
Thaddeus McCarty 1712-1731 and Sarah Ellen Chinn 1712-1741 were my 6th great
Aunt and Uncle as Sarah was the sister to my Thomas Chinn and children of
Rawleigh and Esther.
I have "collected" and researched some McCarty info in case your
interested.

This is from the illegitimate line - John was one of the children of Charles
Chinn and Scythia Davis.
That McCarty line? I have a cousin on my mother's side that descends from
that McCarty line - I haven't really traced it. My cousin, Karen, has done
some, but not sure how reliable her research is. Her mother is a McCarty by
birth. The kicker is - the Chinn line is my dad's not my mom's.

The brother of Agnes Ball Chinn (she married Frank Smith) was the sister of

A KENTUCKY FAMILY.
Kentuckian Citizen.
Mrs. Frank Smith, aged over 70 years, one of the dozen children of John
Chinn, died suddenly Saturday, May 7, at the residence on the Bourbon and

The noted New Orleans lawyer, Dick Chinn, was her brother, and the mother of

I am a descendant of the Chinns of Virginia and recently was given some
information about R.H. Chinn of New Orleans with a Loudoun Co. connection as
his daughters marriage was listed in the news paper.
So I went investigating this R.H. Chinn of New Orleans and believe him to be
Richard Henry Chinn b. 1795 d. 1847
I have a belief that a William T. Wilson b. 1797 d. between 1826 and 1835
that I am looking for might have gone to New Orleans. His mother was a
CHINN from Loudoun Co. Virginia.
I only have one Richard Chinn in my database but he was born 1774. This
could be his son for all I know.
Just wondering if anyone in here has researched New Orleans.
Thanks Janean

This is address for that site:
http://local.lexpublib.org/
I also have a temp subscription to www.genealogybank.com through a friend
and that is where I've come across the Chinn and Higgins and Holmes lines
recently. Not that the news articles are all that accurate, as they have
Charles Chinn descending from Esther & Rawleigh rather than Margaret &
Rawleigh. Makes you wonder if it is deliberate misleading due to the
illegitimacy?

Ah HA! Thank you. I had a feeling it was Charles's kid. This would then
make sense. Thanks you've given MORE work to do now, but at least I have
something to do to look for my William Wilson. Before yesterday I really
was throwing darts at a map.
Just in case anyone cares..... lol I'm looking for William Travers Wilson
b. 1797 in Loudoun Co. Va. to John Wilson and Elizabeth Travers Chinn d/o
Rawleigh Chinn and Fanny Tarpley.
I descend from Williams brother Rawleigh Chinn Wilson who for a brief period
was in Union Co. KY but I think only for purchasing land or something.
Their other brother John Stretchley Wilson lived in Union co. Rawleigh
lived in White Co. IL. Both counties border the Wabash/Ohio rivers.
The boys mother Elizabeth wrote a letter in 1832 supposedly to William which
at that time appears he was most likely in White co. IL due to the names she
mentions for him to say Hello to.
She mentions to him her dismay of his intended plans to go to Orleans, as
she wrote it and said "you know I always hated you going to that place"....
making it sound like she has complained about his traveling there before.
Her fear was the steamboats exploding.
I've been trying to figure out why he would have gone there. Don't know his
trade, although I found a man in Loudoun Co. that he may have apprenticed
with - now to find out what that man did in Loudoun Co.
When I was recently given a newspaper article about R.H. Chinn's daughter
marrying and that he was from New Orleans..... this is what sparked my
research of New Orleans Chinn names.
NOW, Anne, you send me more KY information but that is around Lexington
which is quite a distance from my Wilsons in the Paducah KY area. But still
something to explore.
Thanks gang. Janean

Just wondering if anyone in here has researched New Orleans.
Thanks Janean

I am a descendant of the Chinns of Virginia and recently was given some
information about R.H. Chinn of New Orleans with a Loudoun Co. connection as
his daughters marriage was listed in the news paper.
So I went investigating this R.H. Chinn of New Orleans and believe him to be
Richard Henry Chinn b. 1795 d. 1847
I have a belief that a William T. Wilson b. 1797 d. between 1826 and 1835
that I am looking for might have gone to New Orleans. His mother was a
CHINN from Loudoun Co. Virginia.
