Yes I agree with you Jeff, a bit clumsy of me, I tried to point out later in the post or a subsequent post that it would have been possible for cencus enumerators to write down Chisholm,or chism or other variants in place of some Dutch or Flemish names.The good news is that any doubts in this regard could be uncovered by DNA testing . We do have 2 Chisms, KY and TN, brothers actually, who display a haplogroup not yet found in other Chisholms, representing a Middle eastern origin (J2) but found in reasonable numbers in Flanders, as a result of immigration into the Spanish Netherlands to escape the Inquisition, where having a Jewish background would have been most uncool. (Lots of interaction between the Flemish Ports and Berwick in the old days as well)

Well I respectfully disagree that the Dutch should be discounted completely. The exported residents of Chijs Belgie, in the early 1600s went with the Dutch to America. This group PROBABLY became a Scism Branch, with various spellings including at least temporary use of Cism, Schism, Chism, Chisholm in written records. (vanderchijs, vanChissen, chism, etc.) Most records only mention a variation. I agree that they are NOT the main branch associated with Scotland, at least in more recent times.

Hi Tanya, I am afraid I cant help much with the genealogical info, although one would think that a birth in 1878 should have been recorded, perhaps there is a cencus record just waiting to be found, some american based researchers might be able to point you towards good websites for checking out these things,knowing the name and birthyear is obviously important, and even better if you knew the state and county. Its always possible that his parents having being raised as slaves, they may have been of a mind not to register his birth, but I would think that the American system would have him recorded somewhere. His death certificate may have the names of his parents on it.

Thank you very much for the info. I do know that we were back then property of a slave holder, which under the circustances is understandable. The farthest back we can trace is the 1700's. If they were considered property, would they still be listed in the census records,my grandfather was born in 1878, and I can't find him in the census records anywhere.
Thank you again for the information

We have at least one coal mining family in the DNA project.
With regards to your Durham ancestors, a lot is told in the dates, the further back in time you go to Durham, the more likely is it that they are Chisholms who drifted souithwards from the Borders, rather than Highlanders who were displced or cleared.
All of ourtr participants with Border origins have returned the same DNA profile, indicating that Border Chisholms are possibly all of one extended genetic family. This is a Viking signature, and fits in well with the clan origin story of the Norman Knight from Tynedale . This Viking DNA signature has also been found in Chisholms with documented highland ancestry, though participants with proven highland ancestry are showing that the Highland Clan Chisholm is made up of a large number of disticnt genetic family groups.
For you to explore your branch of the Chisholms more deeply, would mean you would need to obtain a sample from one of your male relatives who still bears the Chisholm surname.

Robert Chisholm

Hi Tanya,
Forget the Dutch part. There may be Dutch names which have phonetic similarities, but your name originated in the Borders of Scotland. There are many websites with the origin stories, let me know if you want any pointers to them.
>From the Borders, the Chisholms established a Clan in the Highlands , to the North of Loch Ness, and later during the 18th century there were many immigrations to the America's.
If your ancestor adopted the name, taking it from a master, or from someone whom he respected, or if he was a biological offspring of a slave holder, this can be relatively easily established with genealogical DNA testing,and Clan Chisholm Society is now running a DNA project, details can be found on FTDNA website. We have quite a lot of different Chisholm bloodlines linked back to Britain, with which you could compare, and if your Y-DNA showed an African origin, then I am sure there are ways of locating a more specific place within Africa. Note that samples for the Y-project can only be provided by a male member of your family if you were intersted in exploring your connection to the Chisholms, and your deeper ancestry. There can be "strange" things uncovered, for instance you may view yourself as African in origin, yet your DNA might show a Viking origin, or a Celtic origin, if it is genetically related to the Chisholm Clan. The DNA test might even further show if one of !
your ancestors was indeed a dutchman, and, in earlier times when literacy was not universal, upon pronouncing his name to a cencus enumerator, this person gave up and simply wrote down something which was more familiar. ( I can understand and speak a little Dutch, and I can sympathise with an English speaker who is unfamiliar with the sounds)

Name History and Origin for Chisholm
Chisholm
Scottish: habitational name from Chisholme near Hawick in southern Scotland, which derives its name from Old English c¯se, cese 'cheese' (Latin caseus) holm 'piece of dry land in a fen' and refers to a waterside meadow good for dairy farming and hence for producing cheeses. In the 14th century members of this family migrated to the Highlands, settling in Strathglass, where their name was Gaelicized as Siosal.
My Chisholms came to the US from County Durham, England. They were coal miners. I can't trace them beyond that. I don't know if, or when, they came down from Scotland.

Hi Jeff.
The Chisholm DNA project is up to about 30 now, although only about 24 results posted. I tried to check the cism results, but entry forbidden to your website. There is probably no match with out froup of R1b's at the moment, I think I would have recognised the name, and there is no Scism I recall matching the I1a "star cluster". We have a Tennessee Chism with a J2 result. Be on the lookout if any future participant joins the Chisholm DNA project, and claims to be descended from Richard Cheesome. If the claim is correct, and if you have got a Willian Scism descendent as part of the Scism project, then FTDNA will find the match.....or... your theory may need revision.
cheers

Possibly. The following is THEORY, but probably the best theory available. Lets look at what will become Hawkins County, Tennessee, in the 1770-80s. A lawyer named Elijah Chisum was in Hawkins County from before 1778 until 1802, he moving on to Arkansas and Oklahoma. He had a son named William, born in 1778, in what would be Hawkins County, Tn. This son is not further known in Chisum family research, however there is a long standing mystery which can possibly solve itself.
That mystery revolves around the SCISM family of Hawkins County, whose earliest documented member is William Scism, who in 1803 marries an Elizabeth Duncan, from Carter County (Washington District). THIS William is also supposed to be born about 1776-1778.
30 years of looking have found no documented parents for this William, and I believe it is logical to investigate that he is 'probably' the same person as William Chisum.
The Scism family also has descendants that went to Sayre OK, and Arkansas from Hawkins County.
Elijah is reported as a descendant of Richard Cheesome.

Hi Jessica, I saw Richard Cheesomes name on a website this morning http://www.chisholmname.com/america.html and I quote from it..................
Can we connect John Chisum, the Texan cattle baron of the 1860's, with the Chisholms? Possibly. His forebear was Richard Cheesome, who arrived in America from London as early as 1641. His roots might have been Chisholm. It is thought that a branch assumed the name Chisholm. They were one of the earliest settlers in Lauderdale County, Alabama. The small family cemetery outside Florence where John Chisholm and his wife were buried in 1847 is the oldest known cemetery in Alabama.
.................................
Now the Chisholm DNA project has grown a lot since my last post on this thread, and we have some Chisholms,Chisms, and a Chisolm all linked via DNA as being descendents of the same Viking. This Viking strain is te most prolific in the Chisholm DNA project, and it is particularly strong in the southern states. WE know have got a Chisum in the project, a descendent of Texan John D Chisum mentioned above as a possible descendent of Richard Cheesome, but I am afraid this articipant is in the female side of the project and wont be revealing anythingwhich will help us track down that Chisum trail... only a male sample can do this, and it may reveal once and for all if Richard Cheesome really was a Chisholm, and if he was, to which other southern families you may be connected. If its the Viking line, I am afraid you will be having distant genetic relatives, lots of them , all over the USA, in Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, plus lots of even more very distant genetic rela!
tives (say about 1200 years distant) in places like Sweden and Finland. If you have a Chisum uncle or cousin who would be interested in joining the Clan Chisholm project, then FTDNA have got a $30.00 Christmas discount available for the next two people to enrol. http://www.familytreedna.com/(lertpkmlr4f40g5513scw555)/public/Chisholm/i...
Note tha the Chisholms contain more than ancestral Vikings, plenty of Picts,Gaels, and Britons, plus a few of unusual ancestry for that part of the world.

My Chisholms are white, from Nova Scotia/New England.
My grandmother was Gertrude (Palmer) Chisholm married to Frank Chisholm
(deceased young) and then married to his brother Fred Chisholm. I don't
know when they came down from Novie.
Had (I think) 14 children though some died at birth or as children.
Only one living is Uncle Howie. They are (that I can remember off the
top of my head)
Frank
Gert (retired to FL)
Fred
Alice
Ormand (moved to Washington state years ago)
Bob
Lyman (my Dad)
Howard
George
Lillian
I'm forgetting the other names right now. Frank has a son Frank and
daughter Dorothy (roughly 78 years old right now). Fred has a son Fred
(roughly 68 years old right now).
When married my grandparents lived in Massachusetts: Lynn, Medford,
Somerville areas.
I would love it if your picture belonged to one of them because it would
thrill me to have found a branch of my family tree.
