The History Of Coles County, Illinois, Wm. Le Baron, Jr. & Company, Chicago, Illinois, 1879, page 610
ABRAHAM BENNETT, minister of United Brethren Church, Westfield; was born in Meade Co. Ky, Nov. 15, 1823; after remaining at home until the age of 18, he started out in life for himself, flat-boating on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers for some five or six years; in the year 1852, he commenced traveling in the ministry of the United Brethern Church, having from his youth been connected with that Church; in the same year, leaving his family in Kentucky, he traveled circuit for some six years in Indiana, when having returned to Kentucky, was engaged in missionary work through that State for three successive years; having sold his farm, he moved his family to Harrison Co., Ind., in what is widely known as the "Rippidan Valley," and continued traveling circuit up to the fall of 1864, when he moved to Hutton Tp., Coles Co., and settled upon his present farm when it was a dense wood; at first, before the establishment of a circuit in Hutton Tp., Mr. Bennett engaged in missionar!
y work until it became a circuit, when he filled the position of a local minister, and was greatly instrumental in building the "West Liberty Chapel" of the U. B, Church, and also "Weaver Chapel" on the edge of "Park Prairie." He married Miss Martha Jane Chism (daughter of John Chism of Meade Co., Ky.) on July 4, 1850; she was born Jan. 5, 1831; they had eight children, four boys, three living - John J., James Hand, David S.; - one died - George W.; and four girls, two living - Laura A. and Martha J., and two died - Mary E. and Purva C."
Note: "West Liberty Chapel" was familarly called just "Liberty Chapel" and the buidling was torn-down in 2005. "Park Prairie" should be "Parker Prairie."
I have two Chism lines from Kentucky, and haven't posted them for a
while, so here they are again.

Happy New Year.
I have been managing this list for a short time.
I feel that this list is going along nicely, but would like to see some
more posting of family lines.
I also manage several other lists; among them are the Scism-L and the
S250-L.
The S250-L is a soundex based list where names which sound like Scism,
Sissom,and Chism (and other S250/C250/Z250 soundex names) are compared
to see if there are any spelling migrations. The S250 group is also
starting a comparative Y-chromosome Project.
(http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~scismfam/s250/)
All list members are invited to join any of the lists and join in the
discussions, or participate in the Dna Project.
I would also invite the list members to post their family interests here
on the Chism list.
If you have a Chism Family related website, please post the link.
Thanks and .may each of you find what you are seeking.

Jackie, if you haven't found what your searching for on Columbia, contact me at dgr(a)sbcglobal.net. Columbia was born in TX, married and divorced in MO to James A. BASS, and died in Los Angeles Co, CA.
I am curious about documentation...
There is a land deed for James Chism for land he purchased in Cooper Co.,
while still living in Barren Co., KY.
Will Records of Barren County, Kentucky 1800-1824
Barren County Wills Book 2
Page: 30
Name: James Chism
Written: 1 June 1819 My wife, Phebe My brother, Michael and David Hardin,
Exe. Witnesses: John Ray, John McPherson, and James Johnston
Probated: July 1819
(But his wife isn't named Priscilla?)
And Phebe is on the 1830 census living in Monroe Co., KY.
By 1840 -- David Hardin Chism, Micheal and others are living in Cooper &
Morgan Co., MO.
David Hardin Chism is D.H. Chism in Morgan Co., MO in 1850... he was born in
1814 and he lives next door to Howard Chism (married to his 2nd wife -- A
Emily CLINE). There is John Chism md. Frances Cooper. (I have John's will
-- but it is hard to read). I also have a lawsuit over 2 slaves fought over
by the children of Jacob Chism. The CHISMs appear to have had a few
disagreements over slaves -- that has been demonstrated via a couple of
lawsuits. Jacob's son Michael who married Didamy Smith -- was also involved
in the division of estate involving slaves via Didamy's mother Mary Smith
Walker -- who died intestate.
Seems to me that Jacob's father (whom I assume to be James -- who had land
deed for Cooper Co., MO -- is a good tie) was set up with land before their
arrival to MO.. as was the case with many migrating to MO.
Jacob Chism owned my ancestor Mary Ann and her mother Amy. Look like Jacob
http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/jchism.jpg
I have been trying to get more land deeds for Barren Co., KY to put the
pieces together connecting John to Jacob too.
I've seen the family trees -- but not the connecting documents. I'm fine
with the HOWARDS and CHISMS until I make the jump to tie up everything in
KY.
I've also followed the other children hoping to back up clues.
For example -- I followed the HOWARD family (Obediah) which appears very
tied into the CHISMS.
But I sat down a month ago -- pulled out my Barren Co., records book etc.,
and tried again to put the James, John, Jacob lines together. I understood
it when I got done -- and then lost it out of my memory bank.

Trying to prove the link from John CHISUM (1704-1792) to Jacob CHISM (1782-1847). There is much info to be found on the internet, but no offer of proof. These Chisms/Chisums can be found in SC, VA, KY and later Jacob to MO. There is proof John CHISUM marrying Eleanor (Ellender etc) GILLINGTON and proof Jacob CHISM marrying Priscilla HOWARD. Between John to Jacob are James CHISM, Sr and James CHISM, Jr, according to many family files found on the internet. Many of these family files offer exact birth/death dates so assume there are family bibles somewhere. Would appreciate any documentation/proof for these Chisms/Chisums.
