Seeking info on the Box and Chism family message board
I'm seeking information on John Chism (Chisholm) Box.
He was born March in 1829, TN and moved toTx. (Son of James Frances Box and
Elizabeth Mathews)
Death..jack Co... TX. Before July 27, 1868.
Marriage 1. Nancy Elan Gray. b1828 TN. Married about 1853
Marriage 2. Mary E. Box b Sep. 7 1844 miss. Married April 17, 1867, (a 2nd.
Cousin ... and daughter of Grief Johnson Box)
--------
John C had two children
1. Thomas Jefferson Box (mother Nancy Elan Gray) . Thomas Jefferson was born
Oct. 6 1855 in Cumby Hopkins, Tx.
2. John Mattison Box (mother was Mary E. Box) born 1867 in Tx.
Many Box researchers have his middle name spelled Chisholm. My family
believes the spelling is probably Chism.
I think the Box's may have came to Tx.'s from Tn. with a family with this
spelling Chism ...and am looking for a connection.
Any help would be appreciated.
We find records with John C. and Chisholm spelled many different ways.--but
know its him.(from times places he lived ...children listed etc.)
Thank you.
