My Grandfather's middle name was Chisum...John Chisum Box.(documents, deeds often have his middle name spelled Chisholm...but leagly it was Chisum)
I was told he was named after someone in the family that was related to John Simpson Chisum.
I know there was a Chisum Trail and a Chisholm trail ....John Simpson Chisum....was a cattle man who never married...but apparently had two daughters.
Does any one have any information Concerning a connection between John Chisum and the Box family.
He apparently lived somewhere near Bolivar Tx., then NM and died in Arkansas.
