Have you tried to trace down the Estes line from Kentucky, Tennessee and to Arkansas. I would almost bet you are connected to the Estes family that married in the the Chisum line in kentucky. A lot of the Chism and Estes migrated to Arkansas, Lawrence and Searcy, Izard and Pope counties. Elizabeth Chism married John Estes if I remember correctly. She is the daughter of John Chism and Elleanor Gillentine of Amelia county, Elleanor Chism left a land gift in Warren county, Kentucky, she named Elizabeth Estes as her daughter and mentioned 11 grandchildren of the Estes family in 1835. Chances are you are connected to this line. My Elisha Chism came to Lawrence county about 1829, he died in 1827, his wife was Wenny, they had a son named Benjamin Chism that migrated to Independence, married Polly? Walker? children Isham, Henderson, Washington, William born 1827, Elizabeth, Wenny, Thomas, James, and Elisha. I am trying to find out where Wenny died. But if you would trace this line, you may find them with the Estes family.
