My Chambers, according to census records were also in Tennessee and Indiana. A researcher
who wrote in the Wright County Heritage book says that our line comes out of either Elijah
or Elisha Chambers. I suspect my line comes out of Burke County NCAR since other
connecting lines do also.
Mine also lived in Pope County, Arkansas.
Jacob's full name was Jacob Bennett Chambers. I suspect that Nancy from Jacob's
father's marriage was probably a Bennett since he was the first son and that the norm
was to give that son his mother's maiden name as a middle. My grandmother was buried
in our local cemetery in a large plot of other Chambers folks.
I have given only the direct lines but can supply sibling names, also. When I looked back
in Lumpkin/Cherokee County GA, there was an older Chambers named Andrew. I feel like he
probably connects to my line but I just don't know how to connect up.
There has been a lot of Chambers information through the years, so I can really hope that,
although we have no surviving male for the DNA test, someone from a connecting line is
going to do the test and solve my decade of Chambers puzzle. In 1840, there were three
Chambers men in Pulaski MO which a part of that became Wright County: John, James and my
Jacob before he married.

Frank (or Willis Frank) Chambers was born in Arkansas about 1855 and moved to
Erath, Texas according to the 1880 census. By 1900, he was in Seminole Nation
and made a homestead in what is now Caddo County, OK. His son, John Willis
Chambers, continued to farm the homestead for the rest of his life and it is
still in the family. My great-grandfather, Everett Bervie Chambers, is John
Willis' son. I do not know anything before Frank. Don't know his
parents, etc.
Thanks,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
What part of Oklahoma did your Chambers settle in. My Chambers lineage
settled in
OK before it was a state. Gabriel Chambers son owned a store in
Cumberland (Indian Territory) son of Elisha Chambers (settled in what was/is
known as Chambersville, TX)

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.
