Ellen Chambers married J. F. Baum in Richmond, Madison County, LA. The
1860 census of Vicksburg, Warren County, MS shows this BAUM family: J.
F. 32, b. Baden, Fruit Store, Ellen 22 b Ill, Susan 9/12,b MS, R.
CHAMBERS 53 b KY, Elenora CHAMBERS 53, b England.
(Warren County, Ms and Madison Co, La are adjacent to each other).
I am researching the BAUM family and since J F Baum married a CHAMBERS,
I am now researching that family.
Since Ellen CHAMBERS BAUM was born in IL, I checked and found her in the
1850 census of Marion County, Ill. I found this family in District No
11: Ellinor CHAMBERS 45, b England; William MILES 24, b MS, Merchant,
John MILES 21 b MS (there may be an asterisk there noting he is also a
merchant - or it may just be a dirty spot on the census), Ellen CHAMBERS
12 b ILL.
A real puzzlement!! Is anyone familiar with these CHAMBERS?
