On her application for Indian Funds, Alantha Dover shows her siblings as:
Asa, John Martin, Eleazer or Ezer, George, Daniel, Joe, Fed or Fred, Jim, Wylie, Calvin
(my great great grandfather), and Rosa Truelove.
During my research on my Chambers family I found the following on John "Martin"
Chambers:
Excerpt from the "Dahonega Nugget" July 8, 1898 "Martin Chambers, who has
been a resident of Lumpkin County since its establishment, died near Auraria last Saturday
morning at two o'clock, aged about seventy-three. He was a clever, honest man, but
was an unbeliever during his health, sickness and when departing, so we are informed. He
was a man who believed his troubles all came to earth, but he is dead now. Let his faults
be buried with him."
Old newspapers always have interesting and sometimes funny items.
