text:  So Nika goes into the archive. Let me just see if I can find any black or white Nison, Nisum, anything close in East Feliciana Parish. And she finds them. Nisums, with an M on the end. This was a white family with the last name Nisum. N-E-S-O-M. The same spelling that's in a lot of Levi's documents. And the patriarch was a man named Abraham. He was a veteran. He had served in the War of 1812.
