Daniel was born between 1780-1790. His wife was Margaret Chisholm (unsure of her maiden name). She was born "around" 1800, according to the 1850 Monroe County, AL census. Children in the Daniel/Margaret's household in Monroe County in 1850 were: Elizabeth - 28 from NC - born around 1822 Sarah - age 30 from NC - born around 1820 Mary - age 26 from NC - born around 1824 Neal R. - age 22 from AL - born around 1828 Ann - age 18 from AL - born around 1832 Mary Chisholm - listed on the 1830 census for Monroe County, AL. She lived beside Daniel Chisholm and was between 50-60 years old - born between 1770-1780. I believe she is living in the household with Daniel in 1840. Elbert Chisum - age 45 on the 1850 Monroe County, AL census. His wife was Sarah Chisholm - age 42 on the 1850 census. Elbert was born around 1805. Children were: Sarah J. - age 15 on the 1850 census - born in AL around 1835 Elbert - age 12 - born around 1838 William P. - age 8 - born in AL around 1842 Richard P. Chisholm - probably owned land around this time as well. Became indebted to a Henry L. Allen and Edward L. Smith (Smith and Allen) in 1832. Hugh Chisholm - may have been Daniel Chisholm's son. He was born "around" 1823 in Alabama. In Monroe County, he held several land patents above Beatrice, AL. In 1850, he is listed in Escambia County, FL - Pensacola. He married Mary Ann Elizabeth McMillan (from AL) on Feb. 14, 1850. His son was named Daniel T. Chisholm. Hugh worked in Pensacola at the Navy Yard as a carpenter; he was in the shipping business according to a family source. He was killed or died before 1850 - before his son was born on Dec. 25, 1850. John Chisholm - was also a carpenter - born in NC in 1810. He married Matilda Curry (from Georgia) in 1834. John held land patents near Hugh and Daniel Chisholm. After 1840, John and Matilda moved to Mobile County, AL. Their children were: 1850 Mobile County, AL census John Chisholm was 40 years old, a carpenter from NC Matilda was 37 years old from Georgia William Allen Chisholm was 14 years old - he later married Martin Arledge's daughter, Nancy Elizabeth Arledge, and they moved to Winn Parish, LA.
