"Who Do You Think You Are?" Episode Tim McGraw aired on Feb 11, 2011

He's the 6th Great Grandfather of Country Singer Tim McGraw

Isaac Chrisman is the son of Jacob and Magdalena Hite Chrisman. He and 2 family members (his sons?) were killed by Indians in 1776 at Rye's Cove near a fort he had built (Crissman Fort) in Lee County, Virginia.

Chrisman (Crissman) had served in the militia as a private at Glade Hollow Fort during the Point Pleasant Campaign in Virginia (now W. Virginia) in 1774, a battle with Indians which has been called "the first battle" of the Revolutionary War and is recognized by the D.A.R. as a Revolutionary War battle. Isaac is in the D.A.R. database as a Revolutionary War patriot (Ancestor #A113332).

The D.A.R. records list his year of death as 1776. I'm not positive of his burial place, but assume he was buried at the Crissman Fort near where he was killed.
