This week, these are the loved ones remembered in the funeral notices and family announcements in The Sentinel.
By Beverly Nield | Special to The News Herald
The Chism family from Milton in Santa Rosa County probably hailed from Adam Chisholm. Adam was born in Tinedill, Scotland, circa 1695 and was imprisoned for taking part in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715.
There are prison records in Scotland and other documents which show he was captured at Preston in the North of England and tried in London. His punishment was to be banished to the colonies for fighting against King George I.
The Jacobites wanted James II’s son, James Frances Edward, to be king instead of Hanoverian George. However, James didn’t have much stamina; the first time he set off for England he caught measles and went home, the second time he had a sniffly cold and did not wish to fight.
