: WHITE MEN TO PROTECT THEIR
: INHERITANCE RIGHTS OF THE LAND ON
: WHICH THEY LIVED.THE NAME LIZEMORE,
: SIZEMOUR, SISEMORE, SIXIMORE, OR
: SIZEMORE CAME INTO BEING AS LEGENDS
: AND RECORDS HAVE IT.****
: "THE WORD OF MOUTH LEGENDS AND
: STORIES HANDED DOWN,HAVE IT THAT AT
: ONE TIME THERE WAS A TRIBE OF
: INDIANS
: BY THE NAME OF SIZEMORE. THE TRIBE
