The Hissem-Montague Family

This line represents the fourth-wave of emigration to America by the family that I have so far identified. George Howard Haysham, the progenitor, was born in Portsea, in Hampshire, England. This is a small town on the eastern side of Portsmouth harbor, now part of the Portsmouth city metropolitan area. Portsea is also the name of the low-lying island on which most of the city of Portsmouth is built. A small channel, Port creek, separates the island from the mainland.

George's father had originally come from Swanage, in Dorset, which is further to the west. In Swanage resided one of the largest groupings of Heyshams in England outside Lancashire. They were stonemasons working in the large quarries above Swanage. The Royal Navy, which dominated the Portsmouth area, may have provided good employment opportunities in construction, luring the Swanage masons east, as it expanded to meet the threat from Revolutionary, and later Napoleanic, France.

In America the Haysham surname evolved into Hysham, Haysom and Hysom. Interestingly, the same variations are seen in the surname in Dorset.

The son of Henry Pike Haysham and Hannah Howard. He was born on 8 June 1806 in Portsea, Hampshire and christened at St. Mary's church. He was trained as a stone mason, like his father, but probably had little education.

George emigrated to America, probably around 1830 when he would have been in his mid-twenties, and settled in Kentucky. After such a long journey why would someone stop there? I don't mean to disparage Kentucky, but was there some draw there for a stone mason? One of the few buildings in any small town that would be made of stone would be the county court house and the jail. Since the census shows that George moved regularly, perhaps he was pursuing work.

George married Nancy Catherine Drake on 26 February 1835 in Carrollton, Muhlenberg county, Kentucky. This is in western Kentucky. She was born in February 1816 in Carrollton, Muhlenberg county, the daughter of Samuel W. Drake and Jane Waters. I suspect this refers to South Carrollton, which is in Muhlenberg county. Carrollton is in Carroll county, well to the northeast, on the Ohio river. I suspect at the time of their marriage the town was known as Carrollton, but was changed in modern times to avoid confusion with the other town. South Carrollton is located on a high plateau on the left bank of the Green River. It was once a major port and laid on the old steamboat route between Bowling Green and Evansville. It was surronded by fertile farming country.

See pantoman@msn.com for William Hysom of Aurora, Colorado. Note that there is a Drakesboro township on the east side of the county, but apparently it was named for a William Drake, the son of Albrittian Drake (1760-1835) of North Carolina, who moved into the county in the early 1800's.

In the 1840 census of of Hopkins county, Kentucky as George H. Hison. Hopkins county is just west of Muhlenberg county. Living in the household was a boy, under five years old [James Henry], a man 20 to 30 years old, 2 girls under five [Louisa Jane and Mary Ann], and a woman, 20 to 30 years old.

In the 1850 census of Christian county, Kentucky as Geo H. Hysom, a 44 year old stone mason, of England. Christian county is due south of Hopkins county. Living with him were his wife, Nancy, 33, and children, Louisa J., 13, Jas H., 12, Mary A., 10, Margaret E., 9, Sarah E., 7, Paulina O., 6, Samuel D., 4, and John E., 1, all of Kentucky. As a stone mason he certainly fits in with his Swanage, Dorset forebears.

George moved to Missouri before 1856 and there died on 8 July 1857 in Bloomfield, Stoddard county, Missouri at 51 years of age. Stoddard county is in southeastern Missouri, just west, across the Mississippi river, from Kentucky.

In the 1860 census Liberty township, Stoddard county, Missouri as Nancy Hysum [Hysuns in Ancestry.com], a 45 year old farmer, of Kentucky. Living with her were her children, Louisa J., 23, Sarah E., 18, Polina O., 16, Samuel, 12, John E., 10, George H., 8, and Cornelius, 5, all of Kentucky, and Virginia, 4, and Emma, 3, of Missouri.

Nancy and the family then moved east, back across the Mississippi river into Illinois. It is not certain when this move occurred, but it was probably no later than 1863 and may have been in response to the warfare that was endemic to Missouri at the time. That is, they were moving into a more deeply pro-Union section of the country. Stoddard county was in a region, between the river and the Ozark plateau that was more part of northern Arkansas than it was of Missouri. The Hysom family, with James a member of the pro-Union state militia, would be an obvious target for pro-Confederacy forces seeking to settle scores..

Nancy's eldest son, James, was married in Hamilton county, Illinois in January 1864. Her second son, Samuel, was married in Illinois in 1867.

In the 1870 census of Murphysboro, Jackson county, Illinois as Nancy Hysom [Hyson in Ancestry.com], a 52 year old widow. Jackson county is in southern Illinois, on the Mississippi river. Living with her were her children, Cornelius, 14, who was working on a farm, and Virginia, 12. James Henry Hysom also lived in Murphysboro.

In 1880 Nancy's family had split up. James Henry was living in Williamson county, Illinois (just east of Jackson county), Samuel was in Kansas, and Cornelius was back in Stoddard county, Missouri. George Jr. had died by this time. I haven't yet found Nancy in the 1880 census of either Illinois, Missouri, or Kansas. Nancy would have been about 63 years old. Nancy died in about 1883. George and Nancy had 19 children. I know of the following 14 survivors,
(24) Elizabeth Jane Hysom (1835)
(24) Louisa Jane Hysom (1836)
(24) James Henry Hysom (1838)
(24) Mary Ann Hysom (1839)
(24) Margaret Elizabeth Hysom (1840)
(24) Sarah Eliza Hysom (1842-twin)
(24) Paulina [Polina] Catherine Hysom (1842-twin)
(24) Thaddeus [Thadius] Wilson Hysom (1843)
(24) Samuel Drake Hysom (1847)
(24) John Edward Hysom (1849)
(24) George Howard Hysom Jr. (1852)
(24) Cornelius Benjamin Hysom (1855)
(24) Virginia Francis Hysom (1857)
(24) Eugenia Emma Hysom (1858)

She was born on 7 December 1835 in Hopkins county, Kentucky. She died at birth.

She was born on 26 December 1836 in Hopkins county, Kentucky. In the 1850 census of Christian county, Kentucky as Louisa J. Hysom, 13. In the 1860 census Liberty township, Stoddard county, Missouri as Louisa J. Hysum [Hysuns in Ancestry.com], 23, still living at home with her widowed mother.

She married William Pully, of Hamilton county, Illinois on 15 November 1860. She died on 4 November 1906 in Hillsdale, Miami county, Kentucky.

He was born on 27 February 1838 in Hopkins county, Kentucky. Was his middle name in honor of his grandfather? In the 1850 census of Christian county, Kentucky as Jas H. Hysom, 12, living at home with his parents. His father trained him as a stone mason.

In the 1860 census of Byrd township, Cape Girardeau county, Missouri as James Hayson, a 23 year old farmer, of Kentucky. Cape Girardeau is in southeastern Missouri, just northeast of Stoddard county where he widowed mother lived, on the Mississippi river. Living with him was his wife, Julie, 18, of Kentucky. Julie died before 1870.

James H. Hysom served in the 11th Missouri Cavalry, company E, and later in the 49th Illinois Infantry, company B. [B. 49. Ill. Inf; E, 11 [garbled], Mo. SM. [State Militia] Cav.].

James married Helen Mary Lamenda Randal on 15 January 1864 in Hamilton county, Illinois. She was born on 23 April 1842 in Sparta, White county, Tennessee. James must have mustered out of his cavalry unit early, perhaps due to injuries received.

In a webpage dedicated to the 49th infantry regiment a Private James Hisen, of Hurricane [Fayette county, Illinois], was listed in company B. This man did not muster in until 17 April 1865 and was mustered out on 9 September. Hurricane is in south-central Illinois, just north of Vandalia. Apparently James was discharged from the Missouri cavalry then moved to Illinois where he joined the local infantry unit. Around this same time his widowed mother and the rest of the family also probably moved to Illinois.

In the 1870 census of Murphysboro, Jackson county, Illinois as James Hysen, a 32 year old stone mason, of Kentucky. Living with him were his wife, Helen, 26, of Tennessee, and children, John 6, and Nancy, 3, of Illinois. His mother and little brother, Cornelius, were also living there.

In the 1880 census of Southern township, Williamson county, Illinois as James H. [F. in Ancestry.com] Hysom, a 42 year old farmer, of Kentucky. I guess he couldn't make a living as a stone mason. His father was from England and his mother was from Kentucky. Living with him were his wife, Helen M. [sic], 38, of Tennessee [her father was from Indiana] and children, John W., 15, Nancy E., 12, James H., 9, Charles E., 5, and unnamed [a son], 3/12, who was born in March 1880, all of Illinois. Williamson county is in southern Illinois, just east of Jackson county.

James died on 2 April 1893 in Hamilton county, Illinois. In 17 August 1894 Helen L. Hysom, of Kansas, was listed in the pension records as his widow. James younger brother, Samuel, had moved to Kansas by 1880. If James's place of death is corrent, I'll have to assume that Helen moved to Kansas for the support her brother-in-law might be able to give her.

In the 1900 census of Valley, Rice county, Kansas as Helen L. Hysom, a 58 year old widow [April 1842], of Tennessee. Rice county is in central Kansas. She was living with her son, James H. Hysom, and daughter, Maudie. After this she moved to Washington state, following her son James.

I have not been able to make a positive connection to our James and the man and his family, below.
