    This Elijah Chisum was the son of John Chisum and Elender Gullotine/Eleanor Gillington. He was descended from the Richard Chisholm who was born in 1613 in London, England, and was the first Chisholm to arrive in the colonies.

    Elijah married Lucy Claiborne in about 1772. They had at least five children: James, John, William, Elizabeth, and Malinda Chisum. According to the Biographical Directory of the Tennessee General Assembly, Vol. 1, 1796-1861, by Robert McBride and Dan Robison (Tennessee State Library and Archives, 1975), Elijah was a pioneer farmer who owned much land and many slaves. He was a captain in the Revolutionary War and received a North Carolina Certificate which he exchanged for land.

    He appears to have come first to Tennessee to Hawkins County, where he was commissioned a Justice of the Peace on 03 Nov 1790 by territorial Governor William Blount. On 10 Jun 1791, he was commissioned by Governor Blount as Captain in the Hawkins County Militia Regiment. He was a delegate from Hawkins County to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1789 called to ratify the United States Constitution. Chisholm's Ford in Hawkins County was named for him.

    He was active in the establishment of Grainger County in 1796, and he represented that county in the Tennessee House 3rd General Assembly from 1799 to 1801. From 1805 to 1807 he represented Sumner County in the Tennessee House 6th General Assembly but also represented Jackson, Smith, and Wilson Counties which did not have direct representation at that time. At the time of his death he lived near Sparta, White County, Tennessee.

    John Chisholm (son of James Chisholm and Anne Carter) was born 1681 in Lancaster, Virginia Colonies, and died April 1773 in Virginia Colonies.He married Elizabeth Bradley, daughter of Thomas Bradley.

    Includes NotesNotes for John Chisholm:

    Received this from Jetta Chism McCool--no reference page, but copied from printed book:

    John Chism of Amelia, bor about 1704, maried about 1730, died in Amelia Co. Va, Oct. 9, 1792, was the son of John Chism of Caroline County, VA. and his wife Elizabeth Bradley.

    His birth place was Polecat Creek in the Mattapony River Valley in Old St. John's Parish, which was divided in 1720 leaving the Chism Plantation in St. Margarets's Parish,.

    Until 1727 the plitical subdivision was King William County.

    Young John received a good education, studying probablywith the Rev. James Marye, "a scholarly Huguenot" who had an academy in nearby Fredricksburg. (J. T. Duke, Kenmore and the Lewises, P. 21).

    Later on, the great George Washington and his sister Betty went to this same school. John's practical training, however, must have come from his lawyer father and from his uncle, James Chism, who was employed as secretery, rent collector, and entry-taker for Gov. Spotswood and for Sir
    Thomas Fox.

    This James Chism is the ancestor of the central Ky. Chisholms.

    The children of John and Ellender Chism moved from South-western Va. to southern Ky. settling in the Cumberland River Valley. This was before the danger of Indian Raids had ceased
