Hi,
I do the research in our household and Chism
is my wife's maiden name. Her earliest known
ancestor is James William Chism, b. 1861
unknown, m. 1890 Lela Isabell Dickinson in
Fayette Co., AL & died 1937 in Lamar Co., TX.
They had children:
Floy, 1891
Purvy Lee, 1893
Grady William, 1895 m. Mary Frances Moore,
dau. of James David "Son" Moore & Sarah
Frances "Fannie" Kennedy Estes (my wife's
line)
Lillie, 1897
Lena Dane, 1899
Samuel
James Mitchell

Ruth
I've done some looking, had some nice folks
helping in TX & AL, and haven't been able to
find much on them. Thought I would run the
names by the list & see if they rang anyone's
bell! If so, please drop me a line. Glad to
share what I have.
Thanks,
Tom Land

There are alot of people in Ark. that are working on these line. and I was wondering if anyone knew of this James Chism and Benjamen Chism.
They all have to be related in one way or another?
No one can find who this Benjamen Chism's family was?
Did Obediah Parker Chism have any brothers ?
Some peolple also say they are related to the Chisms in Monroe county, Ms. But everyone is stuck in Ark.
Some of these people listed are of Obedia's line,
We are just hopeing someone may see this and may possibly help fill in the blanks. it's a long shot but someone out there may have noticed a Benjamen Chism along the way.
Doe's anyone out there have a John Lipton Chism or Limpton Chism in the family tree that went to texas. Also a Sarah Chism that married into the family of Wilcox? Thanks Vickie
Does anyone out there have a connection with a William Chism and his wife Mary Polly Hudson Chism. He was suppesedly killed in the civil war in Kansas, or he was captured and died in prision? He was from Ark. thanks Vickie
