I am tracing Wenny Chism, left Tennessee 1805, settled in Lawrence county,
Ark. About 1819, Wife of Elisha Chisum, brother to Elijah Chisum who married
Lucy Clairborne.
Elisha Chisum died in 1827, made Wenny administrator of his will.
Elisha Chisum first married Elizabeth Walden 1787, Lincoln county, Kentucky,
Wenny was his second wife. Trying to find out who she belonged to? I find
them listed below in the records of Spring Creek Church. Sometime after
Elisha's death, I was told she went back to Overton county, TN. 1840, but
later returned to Ark. She migrated to Izard and Independence county, Ark.
Son Benjamin Chism born 1798, Kentucky, married Polly Walker born 1803,
North Carolina, daughter of John Adam Walker. I am hoping someway may know
who she belongs to? What was her maiden name. Elleanor Chisum there mother
named Elijah and Elisha in a deed gift in Warren county, Kentucky, 1835, it
mentioned to the unknown heirs of Elisha Chisum. Thanks Vickie
