Message Board Post:
I corresponded with Rebecca Chambers Huey of, I believe, Marietta, GA years ago, and she
had quite a bit of information. She is the great-granddaughter of Edward H. Chambers, one
of the sons, and, through her grandfather, knew a good bit about Edward. I may be able to
help you as well. I will need to dig through some old files, so, in the meantime, to
expedite what help I can be, please send me the names of the 8 children. I have some of
them in memory, but not a lot of detail without my files. I tracked them, or who I
thought was them, through Georgia and the War Between the States and beyond to a degree.
I do know that all of the sons were in Confederate service, and I know two of them, Robert
and Thomas, died in service.
It is interesting to note that their may have been a ninth child, the very first born.
Thank you, mam.
