Hello, I was wondering if by chance on your wife's Chisholm connections , Have you ever ran across a Benjamin Chism? He was born 1798, He married a Polly? They had children William, Benjamin, Thomas, James, Elizabeth, Henderson, Washington, Minnie and a Isham.
Birthplace of Benjamin , unknown, Polly was born North Carolina, born 1803.
The family claims Benjamin Chism had a sister named Elizabeth born 1794, that married a Benjamin Gray in Ark. Izard county, This is where Benjamin and Polly and their family are found on the 1850, Izard county, census.
Thanks Vickie
