Bio

Hello,
My name is Joe Chrisman, I retired as the Cemetery Sexton for the City of Winfield after 27 years and I've been a genealogy buff for over 40 years.

I would be glad to transfer any memorial I have added, as long as the person is not related to me.

My Chrisman line started in Virginia, moving into Wayne County, Kentucky and arriving in the Sedan, Kansas area in 1884. My 6th Great Grandfather Jacob Chrisman and 7th Great Grandfather Jost Hite, were the focus on the television series "Who Do You Think You Are?", the Tim McGraw episode. What a thrill it was to see my family genealogy on TV!

I am the Camp Commander of Pvt. John N. Eckes Camp #10 - SUVCW in Winfield Kansas. I am also an amature Civil War researcher and manage the Facebook page "Civil War Veterans Buried in Cowley County Kansas Cemeteries" Please check it out and "Like" the page as well.

I'm also interested in "Co. H, 1st Kentucky Cavalry" history. My GG Grandfather Isaac "Ike" Chrisman was wounded 19 January, 1862 at the Battle of Mill Springs. Some say it was Ike Chrisman that fired the fatal shot that killed General Felix Kirk Zollicoffer. Documentation of this can be found in "A Boys Story of the Battle of Fishing Creek Kentucky" by John Worth Simpson.
