I am interested in these messages about Jackson, Tenn., because my
ancestor Jesse came from Overton Co., which is near Jackson Co. He
had siblings Richard, John, James, and Nancy, and I can't find any of
them. His father was named John and his mother died in Tenn. about
1848, at which point he left Tenn. and moved to Illinois, settling in
with others who had moved from Tenn. to Illinois. But he is not from
the John Chisholm - Sarah Harris line of Chisms/Chisholms.

Hey there... I've been researching my Chisholm ancestors and was wondering if you have participated in the Chisholm/Chisum/Chism DNA project on Family Tree DNA. Currently, my line is the only one with a particular DNA - it would be GREAT to actually match up with someone and make a connection. Have any of your Chism relatives participated?
Thanks,
Teresa

To Ival McCollum:
You may be from the "Blind" John Chisholm line, described by John D.
Chism in his family genealogy book, THE CHISZ.
That John Chisholm had a grandson, Jesse Chism, born in 1802....I
think in Mississippi.
However, I wish you were connected to me! My bunch doesn't seem to
be connected to anyone!
My gggrandfather Jesse Chism, born in 1822 went to Illinois in 1848 or
so----when there he married another former Overton county woman,
Artimza Brown, whose parents had gone from Overton Co., Tenn. earlier.
Jesse and Artimza had only three living children --Amelia, Merritt,
and Perry. By a later wife Jesse had a dau. Josephine.
Merritt had 11 children, all born in Illinois (as was Merritt and his
wife America).
By word of mouth ---in a bio in 1900, my old Jesse's father was named
John and he fought in the Rev. War. His mother was from Virginia,
according to the 1880 Ill. census, and his father was born in "SC"
---whether that was Scotland or South Carolina, I don't know.
Siblings of Jesse were said to be Richard, John, James, Nancy----and
Nancy was said to have stayed in Tenn. and married. John and James,
as of 1900, had not been heard of since the Civil War. Richard was in
contact with the Illinois family. But other than those things, I know
nothing about those siblings (or the father John or the
mother)---dates of birth or anything.
Jesse's mother was said to have died in 1848, and shortly after Jesse
went off for Illinois ----Illinois...and I know about him from that
point.
Hope this helps.
Deborah Jorgensen
I have heard we are descendants of Jesse/ John Chism but have no
documentation. I would like to find out more.
My grandfather was Wiley Chism born about the time of the Civil War.

I am researching my Chism line. My great great grandfather Jesse Chism
moved to Illinois from Overton County, Tenn., around 1848. He was born
in 1822. He is in the Overton County Court Minutes for mid 1840s,
described as a field hand and commissioned, among others, to build a
county road.
His son, my great grandfather, had said that Jesse Chism's fathers
name was John.
