Message Board Post:
I am also descended from Catherine Chambers and John Wiley. I have all the information
forward on my line. But I am also seeking the parents of Cahterine Chambers. I have
recently found very early information about 2 Chambers families among early Quaker records
in England, one a John Chambers and the other a William who were Quakers in England. A
"John Chambers and family, sons, John and William, unmarried. Dated 1 mo. 6,
1712-13, from Mo. Mtg. at York, England. Received 5 mo. 31, 1713." Was this young
William a parent to Catherine Chambers? It was not uncommon for early Quakers or children
of Quakers to leave the faith. I am also finding a "John Chambers of Acaster Selby
in the York, England monthly meeting who signified his intention of removing himself and
family to Pa, USA.: Dated 12-16-1712,
There is also a John Wilye (Wylye) of the York Mo. Meeting. Is he a parent or grandparent
to our John Wiley in Phila.?
Thanks,
Janet
