I'm searching for my ggf relatives. His name was James Clifton Chambers and was bGa
1838 dGa 1911. He list his father as being bSC. In 1860 he was living in Hancock Co. Ga
with new wife next to Moses Chambers bSC abt 1798 d1860's GA and his family.
I've found Moses in Polk Co TN and in Ga. In 1850 Moses was in Jackson Co. Ga. and
had a son James E. Chambers (haven't been able to located this James E. - who was born
in Ga about the same time as my James C.(I wonder if he could actually be my James C.).
James children were
John Green, Robert, Thomas, George and Anne (twins born in 1875) mother (Sarah Busby
Chambers) died giving birth in Olgethorpe C. Ga. Children by James with second wife
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hannah Chambers bTN 1853. Married in Clarke Co. 1878, children are
Charley Noah, Henry and Minnie.
Thomas told his grandson that we had relatives in Burke County, NC and that many of them
left Burke County and migrated to Boonesville, KY. I've yet been able to determine
who these Chambers were. He also said that We had cousins in Pickens Co., SC. My
grandfather, Noah, told my brother that our family came from Pa..
A recent DNA match on Rootsweb with Herman Chambers of California seems to indicate that
I'm probably kin to the Chambers from Cades Cove, TN and the surrounding area. Herman
also indicated that he had relatives in Burke County, NC and possibly Randolph County, NC.
He list his descentants as Lafayette Chambers, Charley Chambers and Moses Chambers. I
don't know if we're talking about the same Moses or not. Do you have any of these
Chambers in your family??
Best Regards,
Randy Chambers
