John Chrisman

Notes:

"A Native of Maryland" No birth or baptism record exists.
1796: Sullivan Co., Tennessee Tax Records: "John Chrisman Jr." appears. He would be at least 21 to be on this list [thus b. bef. 1775]. Two John Chrismans listed. The first has only "1 white poll" (usually a wife), the 2nd has 226 acres, no "polls" (i.e., no other adults or slaves). ["Sullivan County, Tennessee Tax Lists 1796" in "Early East Tennessee Taxpayers", compiled by Polly Anna Creekmore, LOC#79-57154, Southern Hist. Press, 1980, pg.153-159, with John's entry on pg. 154]. The first is probably John Jr., the second John Sr.
His location from 1797-1801 is still unknown. Perhaps this is the time period when he was engaged in cotton trade between New Orleans and Norfolk.
1802: He is a witness to a deed from Henry Wilson to George Chrisman (his brother) in Fauquier Co., Virginia. [Deed Book 15, pg. 262].
Note: A John Chrisman appears in 1803, 1805 and 1807 in Washington Co., Virginia with 200 acres. Although we assume this to be his father, there is always a slight possibility it is him.
Fauquier Co., Tax Lists: 1803, Mar 23: John Chrisman, 1 tithe, 1 horse. George Chrisman was enumerated on the same day by the same pollster indicating close proximity. 1804: John Chrisman 1805: No Chrismans listed, but list 'C' missing. 1806: John Chrisman, 1 tithe, 2 horses (one horse for wife?) He does not appear on lists for 1800,1801,1802, or 1807 and after.
When married in 1805, both him and wife Elizabeth Withers were residents of Fauquier Co., Virginia. They were married across the border in Frederick Maryland, but continued residing in Fauquier Co., Va for at least another year.
Marriage: German Reformed Church Records, Frederick City, Maryland. In [Brumbaugh]
He moved to Mason County, [West] Virginia about 1807 and until after 1826. He then moved to Boone Co., Indiana by 1830, and finally to Bath County, Kentucky where he supposedly died, probably around 1850. No birth or death record has been located. [Note: move to Mason Co. was after July 7, 1806, but before 1807 tax list in Fauquier Co.]
Book 1, pg.430, West Virginia Land Grants, "John Crisman, 70 acres, 18 Mi.Cr., 1826".
On July 7, 1806, Paul Henkel began a trip that took him through Point Pleasant, and he noted a list of families there at that time. [National Genealogy Society Quarterly, Vol. 27, No. 1, March 1939, pg. 60-3]. There is no sign of John Chrisman. This suggests that John's move occurred after this date.
!Census 1810: Mason Co., Virginia: "John Crisman" Males: 1 26-45 [self], one under 10 [William], Females: 1 26/45 [wife Elizabeth], 3 under 10 [Mary, Sarah, ?]. [Deduce: enumerated after Sep 9, 1810]
!Census 1820: Mason Co., Virginia: "John Crisman" Males: 1 over 45 [self], 1 10-16 [William], 1 under 10 [John], Females: 1 26-45 [wife Elizabeth], 3 10-16 [Mary, ?Sarah, ?], 2 under 10. [Deduce: Taken after Sep 9, 1820]
(Note: No John Chrisman appears in the 1825 State Census of Indiana. Indication that he is still residing in Mason Co., [W]Va at that time.
1826: John Chrisman received a land grant of 70 acres at 18 Mile Creek in Mason County, Virginia, recorded in the Virginia Land Grants.
!Census 1830: Union Co., Indiana, page 490-246: "John Crisman", Males: 1 under 5 [Charles], 3 15-20 [William, John, ?]; 1 50-60 [self]; Females: 2 under 5 [Jenny, ?], 1 5-10; 1 10-15; 1 15-20; 2 20-30 [Mary, ?Sarah], 1 40-50 [wife Elizabeth]. [Items in brackets are my guesses. note: All daughters accounted for, but since ages are not known, correspondence beyond what is shown is not known. Is one son unaccounted for? (my dad's writing is hard to read)] [Deduce: Taken before Sep 9]
Constraints on birthdate from 1810 to 1830 censuses: 1770-1774. From 1787 Loudon Co., Va., tax list, assuming that he is the male age 16-20, further constrains it to 1770-1771.
Move from Union Co. to Bath County, Kentucky, either in 1844 (Charles F. Chrisman biography says C. was b. in 1830 and moved at age 14 with his parents to Bath Co., KY).
However, daughter Frances Virginia stated on her wedding certificate (dated 12 Feb 1843) that she had no living parents or guardians at that time.
Note that in 1850 Census Index, there was a Daniel Chrisman residing in Union County, Indiana. The relation is not known.
There are two John Chrisman's in the Sullivan Co., Tennessee Tax records in the year 1796. From this, it is infered that he is a son of John Sr (and that he was born before 1775, therefore when his parents lived in Maryland).

Notes:

Biography of William Neal sights his birthdate as 13 Apr 1815. The Neal Family Tree lists it as 4/3/1819. The biography is probably accurate.

William Neal and family moved from Bartholomeu County Indiana to Joliet, Illinois in 1842; in 1844 they moved back to Indiana, and from there to Kentucky, then to Andrew County, Missouri, in 1845; after which they came to Oregon in 1850.
