Chambers families were on the Trail of Tears in 1835. James Chambers b.abt 1770 married
Elizabeth Daugherty/Dougherty and had a daughter Martha Chambers b. abt 1790, m. abt 1810,
d. Oct 1875 in Sevier Co. TN. Martha married Dr. Benjamin Atchley and had 10 children. One
being Mahala Atchley, my GGGGrandmother.
My GGGGrandmother Mahala (Atchley) Long made a disposition in 1893 (age 80) that she met
Chambers and Daughtery kin at Charlestown TN at the removal. She stated that her
grandfather was James Chambers and brother to Maxwell Chambers of Candy's Creek in
Hamilton Co. TN. However no mention of any other brothers. Don't know if this helps, I
can provide a little more info if you have a connection.
