Hi. I have seen your wonderful webpage and thought I could contribute my line of Chisms. John Green Chisms daughter Mollie is my great grandmother. She married Christopher Columbus King and they had Wesley Saul and Lexie Mae King. Lexie married Clayton Sanders and they had Truman, Hartsel Henry, and Billie Ray(my father). I found my grandmothers death certificate and it said Molly Chisum. Any reason for the different spelling? Mollie died in 1918 when my grandmother was 8 years old. It is said her and her brother lived with uncles after her father remarried. She spoke of uncle Tom and uncle Bill. I hope I will hear from you. It looks as though you have been working on your family along time. its great.

Thanks, Karen Sanders Duval (view Picture of Wesley King & sister Lexie King, also two Goswick girls "not identified") (Corrections)

Kay, Mollie Chism married Christopher Columbus King in 1905. Saul Wesley King was born Sept.21,1907and died May 20,1997, Lexie Mae King was born in Danville, Ark. June 5,1910 and died Dec.8,1996.Wesley's wife is still living and he has 4 children. Lexie Mae married Clayton Henry Sanders. Their children are Truman b.Sept. 10,1927 died April 1981, Hartsel Henry b. Nov.16,1929 died April 5, 1992, and Billie Ray(my father) b.April 15,1937 died April 18,2001. All born in Arkansas. I am gathering pictures and hope to send some of Mollie and C.C to you. I hope this helps.
(Corrections 5/21/03) Note below:
 

HI KAY. I SENT YOU THE PICTURE OF WES AND LEXIE KING THAT IS ON YOUR WEBSITE. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THE TWO GIRLS WITH THEM ARE NOT GOSWICKS BUT THEY ARE WES AND LEXIE'S HALF AUNTS GUSTIA AND MARTHA KING. I AM SORRY FOR THE WRONG INFORMATION. I STILL PERIODICALLY GO TO YOUR SITE TO CHECK OUT WHATS NEW AND FIND MORE INFORMATION EACH TIME. AS SOON AS I GET MY SCANNER UP AND GOING AGAIN I WILL EMAIL YOU THE PICTURE OF MOLLIE CHISM AND COLUMBUS KING. ----KAREN
