I have info on this line email me and I can see what i might help you with my husband is from this line.
This is a repeat of a message sent three months ago. No replies then but
hoping for better things this time
"I would be interested to learn if anybody has succeeded in following
anybody
with the name CHISSIM or similar across the Atlantic?
I have been researching the name in England for a number of years - it is my
wife's paternal line and as far as I am aware she is the only surviving
blood relation carrying the name in the UK.
It is a difficult family to trace and to date I have only succeeded back to
approximately 1750 and this is in the South East of England. I have also
got earlier records in Northumberland and Scotland put cannot, at the
present, find the links.
I have found several persons of this name that have arrived on the American
continent and wonder if they appear in anybody's tree/trees? They are
1. James CHISSIM. He was a farmer from Bellie in Moray, Scotland and he
left Stornoway on the Clementina for Philadelphia on 13th July 1775 aged 42.
It states he emigrated in the hope of procuring a better livelihood.
2. William CHISSIM with wife and one child
3. Donald CHISSIM with wife two children
4. Hugh CHISSIM with wife and five children - These three were members of
the King's Royal Regiment of New York and were seeking permission to go to
Canada.
The date is unsure but thought to be 1779".
