contents We study a family of inhomogeneous Ising chain models along with an equivalent family of nearest neighbour particle systems. By the correspondence between the two families we prove identities of combinatorial significance relating to certain integer and Frobenius partitions. In particular, for certain parameter values we see that one of our identities relates to generating functions for overpartitions. Using the identities we give a surprising product form of the partition function for an Ising chain with homogeneous interaction and an inhomogeneous external field. We also use the connection between the Ising chain and particle system to find interesting long-range reversible dynamics for the particle system that do not have a product form stationary measure.
