Hello,
Does anyone know anything about the Catherine Chambers that married George
Smith in Allen County, Ohio on the 13th Jan 1869? Her age, parents, anything?
Thanks, Brenda
THANKS to Tresa Tatyrek, CathyAnne, Brenda and all for sharing the Chambers
data !
I have Nancy CHAMBERS married James MULLIS 31 Jan 1817, Wilkes Co. NC. She
was born ca 1796 according to the 1860 Parke Co. IND census. Legend says
Nancy's family was from England - don't know how many generations back.
Following are some snips from Tresa's recent posts on Wilkes Co. that
interest me, and some mere hunches why. Can anyone relate?
Thank you, Tresa, for the info.

William Chambers is first found in the records of Wilkes Co. on the 1784
alphebetical tax list with 50 acres of land and one poll. He listed one
poll in 1785, 1786 and 1787 in Capt. Alexander Gordon's District. <snip>
~~~~~James Mullis' gm is Sarah Mullis in 1784-87 tax list - Capt' Gordon's
District, with dau's Sarah HENDRON and Cora CAMPBELL. James was s/o
Ambrose Mullis & Nancy Cass. His mother left a will in 1829 Iredell Co.
naming children. Nancy TEAGUE, Barbery FRY, Elizabeth, James (marr. Nancy
CHAMBERS), Sary VICUS/VICAS, Mary BOOTH, Gincy (Jane) MORGAN, Peggy
(Margaret) REED, Richard (marr. DENNY), and Ambrose, Jr. (marr. Mary
TULLIS), wit. Harris Standley.
<snip>
10th September 1797 William Chambers signed a quit claim to a deed from
Martha Mize to James McBride, indicating he was her son in law. . .
. . . .
Joshua Mize named daughters, Eddy Chambers and Kiziah Chambers in his Will
dated 16 March 1790. <snip>
~~~~~seems I recall a Mize/Mullis connection somewhere but can't now locate
it
<snip>
August 1801 William Chambers bought at a sale of estate of Edmond Denny,
Deceased.
. . .
one Josiah Chambers who does not appear in the county records until after
1800, and who lived in the southeastern part of the county amongst the
Sales, Denneys, Mayberrys & Jennings and others who lived there..
. . . .
Josiah Chambers died in Wilkes Co prior to February 1844, the
probate.....to be equally divided amongst my five children to wit namely
Henry Chambers, Sarah Chambers, Lucy Elmore, George Chambers, and Elisabeth
Denny....<snip>
~~~~~James Mullis brother, Richard, married 1)___Denny, 2) Smith. He's
said to be born 1810 TN.
Their uncle John, believed to be s/o Sarah Mullis from Capt Gordon's Dist,
married Fanny Denny. Unkn if this is the John who signed the
Chambers-Mullis marriage bond in 1817. This line migrated to MO.
Also, George Denny witnessed Mullis land sale on Hunting Creek, Iredell Co.
* * *just bits* * *
Elizabeth Mullis marr. John McKinney 1818 Bullitt Co, KY. She was from TN.
Richard Mullis marr. Juriah McKinney 1848 IND
McKinney, Smith, Mullis, Barnes, Followell, etc, migrated together from TN
to IND, so I'm told.
* * *
James MULLIS & Nancy CHAMBERS were in Knox/Whitley Co. KY by 1838 when
youngest of 8 children was born. She was Mary "Jane" Mullis who married
Ayres WILSON. One Mullis married a TYE across the border in Campbell Co.
TN, and some of the Mullis-Wilson's were in Greene Co. TN, for a time.
They ended up in Parke/Putnam Co's IND. I've only found 2 other of the 8
children - Nancy Forr, and WILLIAM who married Massa Greenlee and died in
the Civil War.
Sorry for so much off-Chambers stuff, it's all I have.
Thanks, Kathy
