Editing Jesse Chisholm (section)

==Early life and education==
Chisholm's father, Ignatius, was of [[Scotland|Scottish]] descent and probably also a trader, and his mother Martha (née Rogers) was a [[Cherokee]] from the region of [[Great Hiwassee]] in eastern Tennessee. As the Cherokee had [[matrilineal kinship]], Jesse was considered to belong to his mother's people. Chisholm moved with his mother to the [[Indian Territory]] during the early period when some Cherokee migrated there voluntarily from the Southeast, and grew up in Cherokee culture.
