Elizabeth Chisholm married to Sanford Chowning

peggyannchowning — 2011-11-12 19:44:14Z

Searching for any information on Elizabeth Chisholm born about 1839 who was married to Sanford Chowning of Scott County, KY. Their children were: William Brown, Charles Horace, Martha B, Alford Sanford and James Walker. Elizabeth was my 2nd great grandmother and I am hunting for any information (even the slenderest clue!) that might assist me in correctly identifying her parents or any of her siblings. Thanks!

(This query was also posted to the Chisholm board.)

I'm very interested in communicating with you on this line. Have you checked Coles Co., Illinois, in 1850? I have a sister of his, Almariah Chowning. The children were orphaned, apparently, and all were split up -- as near as I can tell.

I have a copy of a court case where they were sued by their father's creditor -- as his heirs. My email is lisakaymckinney@yahoo.com

Many of the "Chowning" family came from a small little town outsite of London, England. It is named Wrotham. Pronounced Rootem. It is a beautiful place. It looks much like the Kentucky landscape where they grow hops.

Re: Your Chowing connection?

MollyES — 2009-10-22 23:50:14Z

Ok, you have Henry son of William & Eliz Chowning born June 21 bap July 12 1741? Then he married Eunice Baily per marriage bond, Lancaster Co., VA 24 Aug., 1769. I have the translation from the Northern Neck of VA Historical Magazine not a copy of the actual record. Henry second marriage is listed in the Parish Register of Christ Church, Middlesx Co., VA. This is to Margaret Allen on 11 Sept 1785. His death is listed in that same register under Capt Tuning for 11th July 1795. There was a Will of Elizabeth Collins around 1804 which listed Bailey Chowning son of Henry Chowning dec'd..., this is my ancestor and I've never had to prove any of the others. But was given their names. I email a cousin who is from Henry's son John who married Elizabeth Lilly. James, Anne and Elizabeth are from the second wife Margaret Allen.

Re: Your Chowing connection?

luanne999 — 2009-10-22 15:38:58Z

I have Henry as a child of William that is definitely in my line but I don't have him married or having children.

Chattin's wives are mentioned and the children from each. first wife, Ann aor Anne, children: George and Mary and second wife Elizabeth, children: William, John and Thomas and Nancy and Margaret. Margaret being the mother of Jane Rogers. Per Chancery Records on line at Virginia Library.

Your Chowing connection?

MollyES — 2009-10-21 19:53:13Z

Did any of Henry's children come into your Chowning line? I know Frank Chowing moved to Arkansas and he was part of the Middlesex Co., VA line.

This is Denton Co TX. The census of 1880 has Uriah Chowning b. IL and his father in the same household Samuel b. Tenn age 70(1810) listing his father as being born in Vir and mother in N.C. Who is Uriah's grand father? No wife(of Uriah) is listed????

Re: Henry Chowning

MollyES — 2007-10-30 21:07:00Z

I have court records from 1777 and 1781 which list Henry as a Commissioner of Roads and being on a Grand Jury. The DAR has accepted them as Civil Service and he will be added as a Patriot in the DAR's records. My line is Henry's son Bailey and I had a copy of the Will of Elizabeth Collins which stated Bailey son of Henry Chowning. I don't have anything which lists Henry's other children. The court records for his estate does divid the land in 8 parts but it doesn't say orphans of Henry or children of Henry. So I'm still looking for documentation listing them as his children.

Middlesex Co., VA Court Records 1838

MollyES — 2007-10-30 21:00:59Z

This is a confusing record from 22 Jan 1838 page 115 but some of it makes sense. Thomas Street is the exector of John Chowning, dec'd. And he is giving several accounting for different estates. Whoever recorded them used the word "same" if I read it right it means same as proir person in the record before. Anyway here is the translations:
A further account of same (meaning Thomas Street) executor of John Chowning, dec'd orphan of Wm ?(an initial) Chowning orphan of same, having been settled before a Comm. of the Court ?(two small words) is ordered to ?(one small word) for exception"
So is John dec'd orphan of Wm or is Wm orphan of John dec'd? That word "same" is confusing the issue

obit Jane (Chowning) Newland, 1912, Scott Co., KY

kydave — 2006-08-19 03:09:47Z

The Georgetown [KY] Times, May 1, 1945
Death of Mrs. Nuland
Mrs.Jane Nuland, wife of Mr. Ben Nuland, died of heart trouble at her home at Great Crossings on Sunday evening, aged 62 years. Deceased was formerly of Henry county, being a daughter of Mr. John Chowning. Besides her husband she is survived by four daughters and five sons: Mrs. Joe Walton, of Fayette county; Mrs. Wes Sams, of Bourbon county; Theodore Walton, of Woodford county; Mrs. Frank Rudlidge, Robert, Lego, Claude and Manlius Nuland, all of Scott county.
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the Great Crossings Baptist church, conducted by Rev. T. J. Stevenson and the remains were buried in Georgetown Cemetery. The pall-bearers were R. T. Herndon, Dr. A. B. Coons, Wesley Sams, Frank Rudlidge, Will Sargent, Will Pribble.

[note: Errors in the obit that I know about:
should be Newland, not Nuland;
should be Rutledge, not Rudlidge;
they left out daughter, Mrs. Herman Weido]

Jane Chowning / McMillian / Newland - Pendleton/Scott/Harrison Co. KY

kydave — 2006-08-19 03:09:47Z

Trying to find the wife of Ben Newland (b.1828, MD; d.1913, Scott Co., KY).
I find her listed as both Jane McMillian & Jane Chowning. He could have had 2 wives named Jane or Jane Chowning could have married a McMillian first.
Any help appreciated.

Re: PARTHENIA WILKERSON CHOWNING

2006-07-30 03:46:58Z

Would love to know more about this family. Have just received info linking to Thomas Chowning and Hannah Doggett through their daughter Sarah Chowning's marriage to Mason Kelley.
First had to determine if the family was from Henry County or Henrico Co., VA. Answer: Henry Co as per tax lists in 1800.
Is Parthenia's middle name actually "Wilkerson"? My source listed William Coleman Chowning and Parthenia Coleman Chowning as siblings. Is it Coleman, Wilkerson or something else?
Is there an online source with more on Thomas Chowning's military service?
