we have a photograph of two members of the Chambers family,one John M.Chambers 8th generationin America and his Grandson. John B.Chambers 10th generation in America born 7.10.1958, he is in cub scout uniform.
The photograph is taken of them standing together in front of some trees laden with Spanish moss, so i presume it's in one of the southern states.
The photograph was sent to my aunt Marjorie Fearn nee Chambers who passed away in 1985, but we cannot find a letteror its authoor to enable us to correspond.It is obvious to us that there must be some Yorkshire connectionand we would appreciateany contact with us. We have only the names on the photograph but no letter. We have researched our family tree back in time to almost 600yrs in the main the family were yeoman farmers residing in the Lower Wharfedale area of Yorkshire. We would be glad to give as well as receive any information.
Thank You. Mary Chambers

William C. Chambers, son of William Chambers b SC in about 1790. Lived
in White (Habersham) Co., Ga. In 1850 the census shows that William C.
Chambers had a son named James. Would like to know more about William C.
and his son James. William was also the brother to James A. Chambers who
lived nearby. James A. was b SC about 1814 and died 1903. Any help?
Also other Chambers with similiar names from NC lived in the same area
during the same period of time (Buncombe Co., NC)

This was recently posted to another list. I though it might interest you.
The prejudice may explain why our ancestors pushed west into Tennessee.
"In the three decades following the Forty-five, thousands of Highlanders
flocked to America. More of them settled in North Carolina than in any
other
colony. What was responsible for this migration? American historians who
have studied the movement believe the North Carolina Highlanders were
forced
into exile. These writers note that, although social and economic factors
may have been involved, the major reason for the migration was political
---
the persecution and expatriation of Rebel Highlanders after the
Forty-five."
see 'The Highland Scots of North Carolina 1732 - 1776', Duane Meyer, 1957,
1961, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill p. 19
"Inward from the lower coastline of North Carolina, the long and slender
inlet beside Cape Fear points like a menacing finger at a small plot of
ground set apart by the national government in memory of a battle. Here
kilted Scots who fought the English at Culloden Moor, but who were known in
America as Tories, fiercely attacked a patriot stronghold at Moore's Creek
Bridge on February 27, 1776. The startling results were enough to
influence
North Carolina's delegates to vote for independence from England a few
weeks
later at the Continental Congress. North Carolina was the first colony to
take such extreme action."
see 'Royal Raiders The Tories of the American Revolution, North Callahn,
1963, Bobbs-Merrill Publisher, Indianapolis, p. 15
As opposed to those who had come from Ulster, and became known as the
Scotch-Irish:
"All of the influx in the twenty years after 1730, however, had come by
sea,
and either remained near the coast or was concentrated in the lower river
valleys. Hardly any of the newcomers penetrated the actual piedmont. If a
diagonal line had been run in 1750 northeastward from (modern) Aiken, South
Carolina through Columbia and Fayetteville, to Wilson, North Carolina, few
of
the ship-borne settlers would have been found west of it. The fall line
was
still the limit of civilization.
Yet while official attention was still centered on the east, a few hardy
souls from the Valley of Virginia had found their way into up--country
North
Carolina. These families who came in between 1740 and 1750 were harbingers
of what was to prove one of the mightiest migrations in colonial times. So
great was the tide pouring in from the north that, by the outbreak of the
Revolutionary War, the North Carolina back-country had at least sixty
thousand settlers, while that of South Carolina had eighty-three thousand -
almost four-fifths of the colony's white population. Certainly some of
this
up-county folk' in both colonies had moved from the Tidewater counties; but
the tremendous bulk of the people were "transfers" from Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Virginia --- a few Swiss and Welsh, large numbers of Germans,
but more Scotch-Irish than all others put together."
see 'The Scotch-Irish A Social History', James G. Leyburn, 1962, University
of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, p. 212
"Banastre Tarleton could not have known that the people who dominated the
Waxhaws, where he had caught up with Buford, would become his mortal foes.
And in truth, supremely self-confident as he was, foreknowledge probably
would have made no difference to the dashing young calvaryman. He would
have
regarded them, to use John Rutledge's phrase, as a "pack of beggars."
Precisely the opinion held of them by many in colonial America.
They were belligerent, loyal, bigoted, valiant, crude, and tough. The men
drank hard, fought hard, and moved often. Their young women shocked
sensibilities with public displays of bosoms and legs rarely seen in
eighteenth-century America. In South Carolina, wrote a preacher, "the
Young
Women have a most uncommon Practice, which I cannot break them off. They
draw their Shift as Tight as possible to the Body, and pin it close, to
shew
the roundness of their Breasts, and the slender Waists (for they are
generally finely shaped) and draw their Petticoats close to their Hips to
shew the fineness of their Limbs --- so that they might as well be in Puri
Naturalibus." An Anglican clergyman watching a boatload of them embark in
a
Northern Ireland port called them "the scum of the universe." Wrote James
Logan, Provincial Secretary of Pennsylvania and an Ulsterman himself, "a
settlement of five families from the North of Ireland gives me more trouble
than fifty other people." Charles Woodmason, the Anglican missionary in
the
South Carolina Back Country who failed to stop the young women from showing
off their shapes, described these people as "Ignorant, mean, worthless,
beggarly Irish Presbyterians, the Scum of the Earth, and Refuse of
Mankind."
Another epithet was "white savages." The rejection and vilification they
experienced were equal to and in some cases surpassed that met by other
immigrant groups down to the present day. But those original immigrants
and
their descendants have always had two priceless advantages: they were
white,
and their ancestry was British. In the long run, that has made all the
difference. Revenge would eventually be theirs and sweet, for by the late
eighteenth century and with gathering force in the nineteenth, they stepped
onto the national stage and became part of the American estabishment in
politics, business, religion, law --- all aspects of American life.
They were, of course, the Scotch Irish. It is an American term that was
current in the eighteenth century and perhaps more common then than the
record indicates. It did not come into widespread use until the middle of
the
nineteenth century when it differentiated them from a different people, the
Celtic Irish Catholics, then fleeing to America in vast numbers to escape
starvation. After the English, the Scotch Irish became the second largest
ethnic group in British North America in the eighteenth century, and their
influence on the American character is beyond measure. During the
Revolution
the great majority were Rebels, and their contribution to victory was
critical. ..........................."
