Looking for further information on Harry H. Chambers, who lived in the 1840's. He was
on the Parker H. French wagon train to the California Gold Rush (1850). What I have is
information briefly documenting his death, as offered in my g-g-grandfather's journal,
soon to be published. The surname spelling is offered three different ways in various
sources. Four men with the same or similar surnames were documented in various places as
being on the Parker French wagon train. In one place, they are presented in pairs, and the
one offered in proximity to Harry H. Chambers, is named Crowell Chambers. Father and son
were on the train together, so Crowell is presumed to be the father of Harry, who died.
