Dishman

The Dishman line starts with Kizzie Dishman (1755 - 1840) as a common ancestor. Kizzie's husband is assumed to be a man named Thomas Dishman, but there are no known records to confirm this claim.

The Dishman surname is an anglicization of the French surname “Duchemin” or “Du Chemin”. This surname is tied to an old estate, La Madeleine, located in northwest Tinchebray in France. It’s unknown if the Kizzie line is connected to this prominent French family.
