Hi, my grandfather's line goes back to Isham Russell Chisam. The Chisam family was in Nacogdoches in 1834 census. I live in the next county. Isham was born 1775 in VA and died 1829 in Covington Co, MS. He was the son of John and Margaret Chisum and I think she was the daughter of William and Deborah Cooke Chisum. As I understand it, they were of Native American blood.
Isham married Permedia Roberts, the daughter of George and Rhonda Walling Roberts. Deborah Cook may have been the mother of John D. She possibly was of Native American origin. As those who have Native American bloodlines you know that following them is not always easy as they would not owned up to their heritage. The Trail of Tears was the end results for some that did.
Sarah Chisum married Allen Roland/Rowland, son of William and Elizabeth Thomas Roland and their daughter, Susan Amanda married my ggreatgrandfather, and their son Joseph Leonard Allsbrooks or Alsobrooks was my greatgrandfather.
They lived in AL by 1840, some were in LA by 1850, some even went back to AL but the Chisum were in Nacogdoches early and eventually my family line ended up here.
Very hard line to follow.
