Doe's anyone out there happen to know what became of Obediah Chism's child Willliam Chisum who was mentioned as a son of Obediah and his second wife Nancy Lea?
The article on this Chism line showed they had children William G.
Elizabeth, Elijah L. Chism who married Gracy Hopkins in Logan county, Kentucky.
the article also stated there were no bible record of the remaining Chism chilren except . William Chism is said to have left Tn. and gone to Ms. and then to Texas?Doo's anyone know what part of Ms.?
There are alot of people trying to break past a brick wall that we are all stuck on?
There are numerous Chism's in Ark.
We have Obediah Chism in Newton county, and his wife Elizabeth , who was cherokee, and all of his and her children who were on the 1850 census.
Then in Izard county, we have a family of Benjamen and Polly Chism , Benjamen was born in 1798, birthplace unknow, wife Polly, children
Isham, Thomas, Washington, Henderson, Benjamen, Winnie or Minnie, Elizabeth, James and a William who was born 1827. this was on the 1850 census.
Then there was a Elisha Chism born Ark. 1821 , wife Mathela born Nc. age 21,
Then in 1860
Izard county, there is a William born 1827, I think he is the son of Benjamen and Polly?
Wife Mary age 21, born Tn
son Thomas age 1.
also
there was a
J.H. Chism born Ala. abe 30
wife Sarah age 23, born Tn.
Benjamen age 3,
Jane, age 9/12
Henderson.
All this families I think are connected in someway?
There is a Benjamen Chism on the territory tax lists 1831, James form 1829 to 1831 and a Winnieford Chism.
Winnieford Chism was born Nc. she was age 64 in Randolph county, Ark.
head of household with a son named Russell Chism.
I was hopeing someone may know of this Benjamen Chism and Polly?
If we can find out who there parents were it may just help us break through this brick wall, thanks Vickie

Hi W.L.,
Rootsweb as a general rule strips out any attachments to emails going on the
lists, i.e., your attached genealogy report didn't transfer. I would
suggest that you include the genealogy report in the body of the email or
send out an email requesting interested individuals contact you separately,
and then email them the report.
If you have any Kentucky Chisholms in the report, esp. in the north eastern
part (Bracken, Robertson, Mason, etc.) I would definately be interested. I
am looking for connections to a Thomas J. Chisholm, married to Catherine
Lilliston in the 1870 Robertson Co. census:

Subject: ISHAM CHISUM, ELISHA CHISUM? BEN CHISUM? Of Ark. POPE, IZARD, NEWTON, and SEARCY Counties
Hello, again, I have hit a brick wall big time, and alot of people working on this same line are stuck right where I am at! But I am hopeing someone can change it?
We have a BenJamen Chisum on the 1850 Izard county , census, he was age 52 born 1798 birth place unkown?
His wife's name was Polly, she was age 47, place of birth North Carolina.
children were
William age 23, born ARk.
Benjamen age 22,
Minney age 19,
James age 17,
Elizabeth age 14
Thomas age 10,
Isham age 8
Henderson age 6,
Washington age 3
all of these children by the census were born in Ark.
One lady says that Benjamen Chisums father was Ben Chisum and his mother was a full blooded cherokee woman by the name of Springflower, she was the daughter of Chief Adam Dark?
also on the 1850 cenus was a Elisha Chisum age 29, born Ark.
his wife Mathela age 36, born Tn.
Polly age 9, born ark.
Benjamen age 5, born ark.
On the 1860 census there is another
William Chisum age 37, born Ark;
Mary age 21, born Tneessee,
Thomas 1 year old.
The a J.H. Chisum age 37, born Alabama,
Sarah age 23, born Tennessee
Benjamen age 3,
Jan9/12
Henderson age 14. all of their children were born ark. as well.
Does anyone out there know of these people, I too think they are of the Obediah Chisum line, but can't prove it, The J. H. Chisum line with the children of Benjamen, Henderson, are the same names of Benjamens children metioned above the names keep repeating themselves over and over.
Also the reason I keep thinking they are connected. I have been told that Obedian was in Alabama, living among the Cherokees, One of his children , William Chisum married a Mary Lewallen, and the Lewallen family are from Alabama as well, Jackson county.,
I don't mean to be a pain, I am desperatly trying to find out who this family belongs to.
I will gladly share the info I have on this line, thanks Vickie
