This is the information that I have in my Grandma's notes:
Major James Chambers and his brother Benjamin were passengers on William Penn's boat
"WELCOME" in 1682. Both James and Benjamin went back to Scotland 2 years later.
James Chambers married, had 4 sons that we know of, 9 children all together.
The 4 sons: James, Robert (the Robert in the orig. post); Joseph and Benjamin. The four
sons came back to America around 1723.
James settled in Green Springs in 1730
Robert settled in Middle Springs
Joseph settled in Falling Springs
and Benjamin settled in Falling Springs and there is a notation that this is the Benjamin
that founded Chambersburg.
