James Edward and Churchill Dishman Family
James Edward Dishman and Churchill Dishman
These pages present detailed genealogical information about a line of Dishmans in America that so far have not been connected Samuel Duchemin/Dishman.
This group of Dishman’s can trace their ancestry back to two brothers, James Edward Dishman (1814-1858) and Churchill Dishman (b. circa 1804), who were born near Fredericksburg, Virginia. Family history states that their parents died when they were very young and that they were raised by a family named Curtis or Curry. Court records for the Superior Court of Chancery in Fredericksburg include an 1823 lawsuit brought by Ann Currie against a James M. Garnett on behalf of Churchill and James Dishman, infants (under the age of 21). In the court records, James Garnett was named as an administrator for the estate of ” _____ Dishman, deceased”. The lawsuit was dismissed in 1825 without any record of the reason. Churchill married Mary Noe in Spotsylvania County, VA in 1832. James Edward married Mary Black in 1838. The two brothers left the Fredericksburg area before 1840 and went west. They separated in what is now West Virginia. Churchill remained in the Wayne County, West Virginia area while James Edward went to Harrison County in southern Indiana.
