Description
Excerpt from Chisholm Genealogy: Being a Record of the Name From A. D. 1254, With Short Sketches of Allied Families
The compilation of the accompanying data is the I result of several years of research and effort on the part of the writer, and while it is by no means complete in all details, he trusts it will serve as a foundation for a more comprehensive and exhaustive work on the subject, embracing not only the descendants of Alexander and Christina Chisolm, but also the other branches of the name in America, all of whom have a common Scottish ancestor. In treating of the generations preceding the >advent of the family into the Colonies, the writer has drawn freely from Alexander Mackenzie''s History of the Chisholms. The record of the name in South Carolina has been compiled from sources believed to be authentic, including family bibles, parish registers, wills, public documents, inscriptions on gravestones, etc. The same method has been followed, when available, in connec tion with the accounts of the allied families appearing throughout the work. A bibliography of the principal authorities consulted will be found at the end of the book. If, through any mistake, errors have been made, the writer will appreciate being corrected, and will cheerfully make addenda to rectify data which he is convinced is wrong.
