Message Board Post:
Thanks for this info. Is Maranda's father John Chambers my gg grandfather Asa's brother? The reason I ask is the date of her birth 1880. If so then would Martin be James Martin Chambers (I don't know James middle name but maybe it is Martin) who married Mary Polly Buff and his father's name James? This is based only on her birth date.
You may have this info from the Lumpkin Co., GA Marriages 1829-1922, but thought I would share.
Randa Chambers married Marion Woody April 29, 1900.

Thanks for the picture. Was the Norrell a friend or family member?
You said your side of Chambers came from Swain Co., NC. Are they related to the Phillip and Salome Club Chambers from SC? Some of their children moved to the Swain Co. area from SC.
Could you list your descendents names and dates?

This is all I know on James Chambers.... He was born in 1770-1779 in Haywood, North Carolina. His mother was a full blood Cherokee and his father was either Caucassion or Irish. James took part in tribal councils and matters within the Cherokee tribe. He lived with the Cherokees in 1835. He owned land right in with the Cherokees and he lived both with the whites and the Cherokees. His daughter Alanthey had stated that she remembered the Trail of Tears. She applied for Indian funds but got denied. I don't know what happened to her Aunt Alanthey but her Aunt Prudence went with the Cherokees to the hills of Tennessee and North Carolina.

Children:
1. Asa b. abt. 1826 died Lumpkin Co., GA married Elizabeth Vest
2. John Martin b. abt. 1824 died. abt. 1900
3. Ezra or Eleazer or Ezer b. 1822 died in the Mexican War

I have more info.

Asa married Elizabeth Vest and Derring could have been another kid of his. Qualla Jackson county is really the Eastern Band of The cherokee Indians Reservation. And my Chambers family came from Swain n.c. which is the Qualla Reservation. I have alot of Cherokee blood in me but i'm not enrolled. You should check rolls for Asa and see if he is on any of them.

Thank you for the information. I was wondering whether or not Asa was married before Elizabeth because on the 1880 Qualla, Jackson Co., NC Census they have a son listed as Derring.
