My great grandfather's younger brother, Edward Lovick Pierce married
Miss Clive Chism. She was born Aug 27, 1902.
Edward Lovick Pierce was a soldier in WWI. They likely met and married after he returned from overseas. He was born March 1, 1893, son of Rev. Thomas Roberts Pierce and Sarah Elizabeth Snyder.
I would like to hear from anyone researching Chisms who may have come across Clive Chism or possibly her parents. I wish I had more information to go on. Perhaps I will post again later once I have located more records.
Incidentally, I found a brief biographical sketch in Seymour Connor's "The Peters Colony of Texas" of a Mr. Pleasant G. Chisum who came to the colony prior to 1848 as a single man. The sketch didn't mention from where he migrated. The reason I found this person Pleasant G. Chisum of interest is that Edward's maternal grandfather John Snyder and Edward Willburn -- father and grandfather of the above-mentioned Sarah Elizabeth Snyder Pierce -- were also settlers in the Peters Colony.
I hope some of this information is helpful or interesting to someone...

Greetings,
I'm a new subscriber to the list. My Chisum connection is as follows: my great grandfather's younger brother, Edward Lovick Pierce married Miss Clive Chisum.
I was reading "The Peters Colony of Texas" by Seymour Connor last weekend, and came across the following biographical sketch:
Pleasant G. Chisum came to the colony as a single man prior to 1848... was issued a Robertson Third Class Certificate No. 1642 for 320 acres, which he patented in Dallas County.
Does anyone know anything about either Pleasant G. Chisum or Clive Chisum? Clive Chisum was born about 1890, so Pleasant could have been her father of grandfather...
