Hello everyone:
At times I have placed a message regarding the above David Chambers.
Lately, there have been other messages regarding David Chambers'.
(Thank you, Stover, for your contributions.) I am a descendant of the
above David Chambers. He has been very difficult to trace in PA. The
name ' Chambers' in early PA was like 'Smith' today! The following is a
three generation presentation of David's family. I have a lot more
information plus three more generations. If anyone thinks they connect
with this family, please let me know, or if anyone is interested, I will
put more generations on the Net. We actually don't know if he was born
in Lancaster, PA; this is an assumption at this point. I do know he had
a brother, William, who married Mary Wharry, the sister of Martha.
Their father, John Wharry, gave David and William a power of attorney to
go to SC to claim 600 acres in the 'Carolinas' which he had bought some
years earlier. Unfortunately, squatters had taken over the land and
developed it. Many court cases (and some violence on the part of the
brothers) later, they finally claimed 189 acres. Later, David bought
300 more acres on Fishing Creek in York District, which he then deeded
to brother William. There is much more information - too much to
include here. Alexander Chambers and Samuel Berry Chambers are my line.
Happy hunting!
