Just an fyi...Pulaski Co., MO also became Texas Co. and Laclede Co., MO.
This is in response to you saying there was a James Chambers in Pulaski Co,
MO in 1840. I think he was in Texas Co., MO in 1850. Let me know if you
know differently.
On the 1850 census there were three families shown below:
Name, District, County Home & State, Estimated Birth Year, Birth Place
Ezekiel Chambers, District 98, Texas, MO abt 1816,Tennessee
James Chambers, District 98, Texas, MO abt 1820, Tennessee
William Chambers, District 98, Texas, MO, abt 1820, Virginia
Ezekiel and James Chambers' lines above have not been tested yet. Unless
they are related to others tested and I'm not aware of that. Anyone, please
let me know.
My line is William Chambers above and this line has been tested - he is in
group 100, kit 5264.
Another line that came to Texas Co., MO a little later was tested also.
That is kit number 12270, Esquire C. Chambers, born 1801 in NC. This
Esquire and my Wm, according to the DNA results are not related at all.
So I'm really looking forward to James and Ezekiel's descendants being
tested one day. I'm not sure though if James ever had children though.

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,
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.
