Hi Terri,
It is possible that I may have connections to your line of Chambers.
William Oscar Chambers is my great grandfather. He was born, I'm told, in Oklahoma,
Indian Territory in 1852, Died 1929 in Baytown, Harris, Texas.
My great grandmother was Olena Hannon and married William in Erath County, TX in 1892. He
was already listed as a land owner in Crowley, Acadia Parish, Louisiana in the 1890
census. He was a farmer and veterinarian in Crowley.
Olena was not his first wife and he had some children with a prior spouse (unknown) in
Oklahoma.
Their names were:
Judy Chambers who married a man named Short.
Carroll Chambers
Bernard Chambers
Nora Chambers who married a man named Duggan. (Possibly in Louisiana)
Zimmie Chambers.
and their may be more (See note at end of the message)
With Olena Hannon in Crowley, LA he had the following children:
Colburt "Cox"
Rafe
Gertie
Helma
Carrie
Mary
Ernie
Note: These aren't all of his children as I only have the names of 11 and I'm told
he had at least 13 and another source has it at 17.
