Message Board Post:
Any information on the children of Elijah Chism, born circa 1794 in Virginia, and his wife Margaret, born circa 1798 in Kentucky (maybe Barren County)? Elijah and Margaret are in the 1850 US census for Meade County, but no children are listed with them. The surname could be spelled Chisholm, of course.
>From familysearch.org it seems that Elijah's parents were Dickson Chism and Barbara Ann. But who were his children?
Of course the parents of Dickson Chism, his wife Barbara Ann, or Elijah's wife Margaret would be interesting also!
Thanks very much.

Seeking Meade County, Kentucky, surnames: Allen, Bennett, Chism/Chisholm, Greer, Johnson, Sewell, Singleton, Thompson, etc.
Looking for data on Elijah, his brothers John and Absolem, and
particularly on a son named William.
Elijah was in Hawkins County Tennessee, 1777, with John. Associated with
Sevier, and Capt. Shelby, and was a Captain in the Revolution.
He left Hawkins County c. 1803, the same year the William I am
interested in ( trying to establish if he is the William that Elijah
fathered) William Scism married an Elizabeth Duncan from Jonesboro,
Tennessee, in Hawkins County.
Q. Did William Chisum change to SCISM?
