The following is based on information from the Schenectady New York census records from 1860, 1870, 1880, 1920, and 1930. I sorted it out using age at time of census (to figure out year of birth) and addresses listed at time of the census. Only missing information I need to be completely sure of my conclusion is the census info from Schenectady for the years 1890, 1900, and 1910, which I cannot find on line.
Here's what I believe based on research for my Chism line in Schenectady, NY
Jon H. Chism (b.1968), son of William E. Chism (b.1914) & Mary J. Harvey
William E. Chism, son of William I. Chism (b.1890) & Sarah Brown (b.1892)
William I. Chism, Son of Isaac P. Chism (b.1860) & Margaret J. Reynolds (b.1858)
Isaac P. Chism, son of John Chism (b.1820) & Maria ?Maiden Name? (b.1832)
John Chism, son of ? & ?
John Chism and Maria had a total of 8 children. 4 sons and 4 daughters.
I could not find any census data for Chism in Schenectady before 1860, and could not find anything on a Peter Chism, which has been mentioned as an ancestor in this line. I’m still here and still researching. Is there anyone out there with any other information, or researching the same line? Post a reply or email at jhc68164(AT)Yahoo(DOT)com
