I saw the reference (below) to Israel Franklin Chambers in a message. I,
too, descend from Israel Franklin Chambers and Mary Ann Doss through his
son James Thomas Chambers and Elizabeth Rebecca Jane "Betsey Jane"
McFarland.
Does anyone have Barry Fox's email address? I'd like to share my
information with him and compare notes.
I was directed to your site by Family Tree Maker while doing a search
on the name Sarah Libra
Chambers. Your list of names was quite extensive and I
don't think I
made it all the way
through. I am a descendent of Israel Franklin Chambers, through his son
John Wesley (a brother
of Sarah Libra). Some records indicate that Israel was the son of
Robert and Jane Chambers.
However, I did not find any of these names in your list. According to
the 1870 AL census,
Israel Franklin was born in MS about 1820. He married Mary Ann Doss in
1843 in AL. Sarah
Libra was born 10/9/1846 and married Seaborn Ratliff on 7/12/1866. Do
any of these names match
what you have? If so, I have a very complete listing of the descendents
of John Wesley that I
would be more than happy to share.
I look forward to hearing from you (and I will continue searching your names).
