I am trying to gather ancestral information on my great grandmother, Elizabeth Chambers
(born About 1838 probably in Tatamagouch, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Canada). She
married John MacKinnon (my great grandfather), born 6 Aug 1828 in Seafoam, Pictou County,
Nova Scotia, Canada. They had ten children (John, Mary Ann, William L., Lorenzo, Jessie
Ann, Henryetta, Ruth, Herbert O., Edward C.*, and Ramsey. Ramsey may well have been the
son of a second wife to John as Elizabeth is believed to have left the MacKinnon household
well prior to Ramsey's birth. Nothing is known of the circumstances that caused
Elizabeth to leave, no family records detail the reasons, just the fact that she left the
family and no one ever spoke of it!
Elizabeth is believed to have died before 1894.
My other great grandfather was also a Chambers, John, born About 1841, probably in
Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. For many years the family believed that John and
Elizabeth were close relations, but no research to date has uncovered any evidence to
substantiate the allegetion. However, the family would like to solve the riddle of
Elizabeth and put the questions behind us. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
