Hello
I am searching for any descendants of Jacob and Nancy Ann Chambers.
Jacob born Oct 01 1819 in Tennessee, Nancy born Feb 03, 1826 in Indiana. Married July 01,
1841
Children
Lucinda Jane Jan 20, 1843 Probably Georgia
James Henry April 13, 1845 probably Georgia
Jacob March 17. 1847 Georgia
William Jackson June 14, 1851 Georgia
Hannah Earline Oct 27, 1851 Georgia
Surillah Ann Feb 14, 1862 Georgia
John ?
Mary Malinda May 17, 1865 Missouri (My great grand mother)
Not sure if this is all the children as the page in My Grand Mother's bible was stuck
together and the very bottom was unreadable

Hi Pearl,
I descend from Jacob Jr. who married Elizabeth Stacy in Wright County, MO. Their child,
Andrew Jackson Chambers was raised by his maternal grandmother in north Arkansas. I am not
certain what happened with Jacob and Elizabeth but I have some information that has made
me extremely curious.
Andrew's father, Jacob was Jacob Bennett Chambers. Well. In 1900, when my grandmother
was a baby, Andrew and his wife Mary Ellen Baker were living in Pope County, Arkansas very
near a Bennett and Greenberry Chambers. This Bennett Chambers had a wife named Rebecca. I
am wondering if he is actually Andrew's father remarried with a family of other
children.
The next curious thing happened when we visited my grandmother's grave. I don't
know how in the world I missed it, but she is buried in a Chambers family plot in Price
Cemetery, London Arkansas... Pope County. I called my cousin and asked her about it and
she said they were all relatives. But, my cousin was very sick and died not long after so
I never did find out who those others were. One of them was a lady from our church. You
know, my Mom never did like my grandmother so I didn't even know she was alive until I
was a teenager. Then, when I went to researching, I saw in my grandmother's obituary
that my great-grandmother had been alive. She came to the funeral but was not allowed to
meet us. It is very hard to forgive my mother for that. So... I don't know anything
about my Chambers line except a few things that seem to be part of the puzzle.
I hope you recall other things that might mean something to this research. I am very glad
to hear from you and would like your personal address so that we can exchange photos. I
have a few of Andrew and Mary but nothing on Jacob and Elizabeth or the other Jacob and
Nancy. My cousin's name was Nancy Marie... that name coming from the elder Nancy.
thanks,
Polly
