I'm forwarding your message to the CHRISMAN list. Perhaps there is
someone out there who can answer your questions?

Hi, Folks!
It has been pretty quiet on the lists lately! Where is everybody???
I see a lot of queries periodically regarding Chrisman/Christman
descendants who live in places like KY, or have moved from there to IL,
MO, etc. This leads me to wonder if some of these folks might have been
descendants of Jacob Chrisman or Christman and Magdalene Hite.
As I understand it, this couple lived for a brief time in Chester Co. PA,
but then moved to VA around 1730, and settled in the Shenandoah Valley.
They had at least three sons - George, Henry and John. Henry is said to
have inherited the homestead, and the other two are shown as living in
Rockingham Co., VA. At least three of George's children did end up in MO
or KY.
I don't know how accurate my information is. It certainly requires
verification, but if anyone finds any of this of value for the sake of
clues, I'll be glad to pass it on. I have a couple more generations on
George and Henry.
Is there anyone out there who is working on this line?

More Definitions of a Genealogy Addict:
Your kids think picnics in cemeteries are
normal or that EVERYBODY does it.
You're the only person in the bridge/poker
club who knows what a Soundex is.
"It is only a few miles down the road" means
at least 50.
Some of your best friends live over 200 miles
away.
You have more pictures of tombstones than of
the kids.
"I need to spend just a little more time at
the courthouse" means forget the cleaning,
washing, dinner, chores; the day is shot.
The mailman can't believe that you got this
much mail from someone you don't even know.
You explain to mother why you can't go 25
miles for Sunday dinner, but can go 100
miles to check out another cemetery.
"As soon as I check out this census record,
I'll fix dinner" means "call the local pizza parlor."
Your neighbors think you are crazy, your
friends wonder, and YOU know you are.
You can't drive past a cemetery without
wondering if your ancestors are buried there.
You have to watch the credits of a movie to
see if any of the surnames are ones you are
researching.
You ask all the people you meet, what their
grandparents surnames are.
You move to a new town and the first thing
you look for is a historical or genealogical
society in the area.
You go on vacation and beg your hubby to
please drive 80 miles out of the way so
that you can try and find your granddaddy's
grave in 100 degree heat.
Youthful fantasies of traveling to exotic
places are replaced with plans to get to
those little towns with graveyards, or
larger towns with Archives!
Your fear of snakes and bugs is
overshadowed by the need to get
through those brambles to that
old gravestone.
Old friends who knew you before you were
into genealogy begin sending clippings
about dead or live people with your
surnames (and you know you have been
talking about genealogy too much!)
You worry about the roof's leaking only
if the drips threaten your genealogy section.
When you can recite all the counties of a
State you've researched but where you've
never lived.
When you find your ancestor's execution by
hanging or burning at the stake, far more
interesting than the mass-murder that just
took place next door.
You're not invited to family functions
because your relatives are tired of filling
out family group sheets.
When you read the New Testament in
Sunday School and find yourself
comparing the pedigrees in Matthew
and Luke.
