We are in the same generation, counting from Cyrus Chambers. I have some
info, which is currently stored. I will try to located it and get back
within a few days.
From which of Cyrus wives are you descended? Which child?
I am descended from George Chambers, of Cyrus second set of children.

I am looking for any information on my gggg grandfather William Corydon
Chambers, whose son was Robert Chambers, and grandson Cyrus who moved to
Ohio in 1815. I have info that there is a William Chambers who married
Sarah Dunshee on 25 FEB 1772 in Hampstead, Rockingham, New Hampshire. I
believe this is the same person. Anyone have any info on this?

I recently heard a story about my g.g.grandfather Cyrus Chambers (ca 1795
Vermont - 1890 Ohio) that he owned and lived in one of the first stations
on the underground railroad in the Delware Ohio area. The town he lived in
became known as Africa, as a slur against
Cyrus Chambers. At one time his barn was burned to the ground to deter his
abolitionist activity. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?
