The name Chisholm is from a Norman French word "chese"
meaning "to choose" and the Saxon word "holm"
meaning "meadow. They became established first in the county
of Roxburgh in the Border area of Scotland and the earliest record
of the name is John de Chesehelme who is mentioned in a letter from
Pope Alexander IV in 1254. John de Chesolm from Berwick and Richard
de Chesolm from Roxburgh both signed the Ragman Rolls of King Edward
I in 1296 and were two of 2,000 landowners and clergy to do so.
The seal used by Richard shows the head of a boar which is part
of the family coat of arms to this day.
