Interesting comment."blinded by the facts." Although I would love to believe the version of the story you tell, and did for decades, unfortunately the facts do tell a different tale. Historians research the data and interpret the facts. We form our hypotheses after gathering the data, not before. Novelists are free to take liberties. The facts are as presented. Period property records and census information coupled with the Johnson will and other forensic matter led me to the conclusion I presented. If you have other data to the contrary I would love to see the documents. Meanwhile I shall have to stick to my position, however unpleasant you may find it. It would be great to have a DNA test done. There are at least two granddaughters of James Chisum, John's brother, that are still living. I know both. Maybe someday a DNA test will be done to prove the story once and for all.

And you sir are blind to the facts..Chisum most likely purchased jensie pryor to the children being born and it was later he made it legal his ownership of jensie so that no one could come back and reclaim her espicially after the children where born,over protective to make sure no one was able to take back jensie and his children..it made it binding. Iam no relation but i cant stand closed minded researchers. back then trust started with a handshake then it was later that laws came into play..this is when chisum made his ownership of jensie legal.
