This MAY or may not be a relative, we have established that although some NY Scism families have upon occasion used Cism, Chism and Cissum, they generally returned to the Scism spelling.
There is an established Chism family out of Virginia to the west (ohio, etc) that has unknown origins, perhaps this person is connected somehow.

Genealogy is the art of the living haunting the dead,
If we persist perhaps they will become annoyed
and tell us what REALLY happened.
