Hi,
This is my direct Chambers line:
Gen 1: Jacob Chambers married Nancy unknown and they are on the 1850 census for Cherokee
County, GA.
Gen 2: Jacob Chambers, Jr. married Elizabeth (Betty) Stacy in Wright County, Missouri
Gen 3: Andrew Chambers was born in 1873 and he was raised in north Arkansas (Newton
County) by his maternal grandmother Catherine Kelly Stacy
Gen 4: Merica Chambers born in 1900 in Newton County married John Murphy. They raised
their children in Missouri and Arkansas.
We have no male candidate for the DNA project, however, I have worked on this line for a
decade with very little information. I have connected in the past to someone of
Jacob's line who moved to Oklahoma.
Thanks,
Polly

My Chambers ended up in Oklahoma. The furthest back I've traced them is to
Arkansas but it's not far - only the mid-1800s. I don't seem to be able
to find any people who can match my line. I guess my question is whether or not
it's worth it to even investigate the DNA project if I can't find people
who can even find a name match.

Hi Carol,
I was hitting nothing but a stone wall with no where to go until I had
a match with the DNA project. It opened a completely new opportunity
for me. Found out I was related to the Cades Cove Tn Chambers and that
we shared a lot of the same names. Has opened up a complete new avenue
for me to search.
Still need some of the Haywood County, NC Chambers. I believe most are
descendants of the Burke Co. NC Chambers. I had some older Chambers
say we were kin to those Burke Co. Chambers. Anyway, I do have kin in
Habersham County Georgia and many of the Haywood County Chambers moved
into the area in the middle 1800's. A few test would prove once and
for all if my suspicions are correct that we're all of the same
family.
Tried to interest both groups in sending in a DNA sample but I
guess
they're content with the info they have and don't want to prove or
disprove the kinship.
Wish the test were a little less expensive.
