From "The Chalk Family of England and America (1066-1942)" by Mrs. Minna Chalk (Scott) Hyman
Excerpt from "The Kentucky Branch" by Mrs. Emma Pullen and Mrs. J. P. McGee:
Born December 15, 1809, Georgetown, Kentucky.
Died October 25, 1865, on the Old Farm, in Southern Illinois.
He was buried there but after 20 years was removed to Paducah, Kentucky, by the side of his wife.
Married Mary Jane Burns, June 30, 1833 ("The year the stars fell").
She was born December 21, 1815, at Lexington, Kentucky, and died March 15, 1891. She was a second cousin to Robert Burns, the poet.
Her great grandfather Burns fought in the War of 1812.
James William Chalk, III, was a 3rd Degree Mason, but on account of the unsettled condition after the War he was not buried with Masonic honors.
My father was thrown from his horse and received skull fractures. My mother was advised to go south and left this home at Georgetown furnished and moved to Paducah, Kentucky. She bought property there and later a farm in Illinois six miles away. All children were born in Georgetown, Kentucky, except my brother and myself.
