The 1820 US Census shows Delilah Chisom as head of household in Laurens County, South Carolina. Her husband John Chism was not deceased – he apparently must have been in Alabama preparing to move his family.

The Census shows she has 2 male children under 10 years of age, 2 female children under 10 years of age, and 1 female child between the age of 16-25. With their oldest child being 16 years of age, she is likely at least 30-37 years old at the time of the 1820 US Census – placing her year of birth about 1783-1790.

And your orators further shew unto your honors that John Smith the complainant and husband of your oratrix is unfortunately for him either entirely insolvent or nearly so and they are poor and bu a slender means of procuring a support and that the whole of the rest of the fortune of your oratrix which she received from her father’s estate has past into and through the hands of her husband the said John Smith and that he has not as yet made any settlement by any Estate on your oratrix.

And your orators pray that the said Defendants may answer this their amended bill as fully and particularly as if the same were herein again repeated and they thereto distinctly interrogated etc.

… these Defendants state that in time that Adam Chisholm died many years ago having the four children enumerated in the will … the Defendant did not know whether he died intestated.
The Defendant Wm B Nott says that his father ___ Nott, under whom he claims, as he is informed bought ___ of the land which he supposes the complts refer to, from the late Henry Farnandis and the Defendant Elizabeth Farnandis states that her late husband, the said Henry, having purchased, claimed the whole of the tract while he held the whole & the half after he divided with Judge Nott, adversely to the claim of the complainants.
The Defendants plead that they and them under whom they claim have had an adverse and ___ possession of the land, example the complainants claims for about ? and claim the complt of the statute of limitations.
The Defendant Wm B Nott states that he is informed by his father, that some years before he bought any part of the land, and while John Chisholme lived on it, he (John Chisholm) offered to sell it to him and showed him a deed which his father Adam Chisholm had made him of it.
And the Defendant Farnandis states, that in the division of her husbands estate, that part of the land in question which he retained was assigned to their daughter Catherine Farnandis now the wife of Jos L Lines as whose guardian Deft held it until her ward attained majority.

1829 June 20 … And the said defendants in answer to the complainants amendment, or so much thereof as they are advised is material for them to answer, state that they have never considered themselves as tenants in common with the complainants, but on the contrary they and them under whom they claim have set up an adverse claim to the complainants, as they have stated in their answer to the original bill.
These defendants state, that of their own knowledge they know but little of the case, or the manner of acquiring title by the complainants or them under whom they claim and they therefor require the complainants to make out their case by strict proof. … Defendants insist upon the matters of defense as contained in their original answer which they consider as fully meeting complainants amendment and pray to be dismissed with their costs etc.

JOHN CHISM OF LAURENS COUNTY, SC IS NOT “BLIND” JOHN CHISUM, NOR IS HE HIS SON.

(Note: The John Chism of Lauren County, SC is not “Blind” John Chisum.  “Blind” John Chisum was living in Rutherford County, North Carolina from at least 1799 until he moved to Tennessee in 1807. The following records show that  “Blind” John Chisum was the one living in Rutherford County, NC – the 1804 deed shows Jonathan Harris and William Riddle as witnesses – John Chisum Jr had married Jonathan Harris’ daughter (Mary Harris), and William Riddle had married “Blind” John Chisum’s daughter. The 1800 US Census shows that this “John Chisholm” was born prior to 1755 – too old to be John Chisum Jr.  The 1807 deed shows that one of the John Chisums (Jr or Sr) had moved to Tennessee.  The 1809 and 1810 deeds show Gatewood Chisum (son of “Blind” John Chisum), William Riddle, and William Fisher who married another of “Blind” John Chisum’s daughters involved in the transactions in Rutherford County, NC.   1816 tax records show that “Blind” John Chisum is living in Madison County, Alabama – where he dies in 1829 – and his probate paperwork is found.  All this shows that the John Chism living in Lauren County, SC cannot be “Blind” John Chisum).

Summary: 1) “Blind” John Chisum’s son, John Chisum Jr, was married to a Mary Harris – not Delilah.  2) “Blind” John Chisum and his son John Chisum Jr were both living in Rutherford County, NC by 1804 when John Sr conveyed land to John Jr.  3) John Jr has moved to Jefferson County, TN by 1807 when he conveys his land in Spartanburg Co, SC to a John Amos. 4) John Sr moves to Madison Co, AL by 1816 according to Alabama Tax records – so neither can be the John Chism that continues to live in Laurens Co, SC and Union Co, SC records from 1816-1824.

1799 Nov 23 – John Chisim was issued 100 acres of land on 23 Nov 1801 in Rutherford County, NC located “On both sides of North Fork of Pacolet River … on a walnut James Logans old corner … with a line of a 50 acre tract granted to Foster … “. This was recorded in Land Patent Book 111 page 407 as Rutherford County Grant # 2124. The original request for this land was entered on 24 Jul 1799 and assigned Rutherford County Entry # 1608. It took 2 years and 4 months to issue the grant.
