entered the grocery business at Princeton, Ky., and continued until he was
twenty-three years old, when he became a farmer, locating near where he now
lives. The place was then in the wilds, but by that assistance of his
family he has succeeded in developing a good farm of 260 acres. Mr.
Chambers was married, January 2, 1849, to Emily Mitchusson, who was born
April 1, 1829, and died February 7, 1861. This union was blessed by the

J., born February 3, 1855, deceased; William S., September 25, 1856; Mary,

JAMES CHAMBERS moved from North Carolina to Jessamine county, Kentucky,
about 1804. He was called to the care of Clover Bottom church, to which he
ministered not more than two or three years. After this he returned
to his native State, to take charge of a church which had invited him to
its pastoral care. His children all being in Kentucky, he returned to this
State after two or three years. About 1818, he moved to Indiana where he
died at great age. He is said to have been a good preacher, and a man of
high respectability.
