Seeking information about the parents and siblings of Joseph/Josiah Chambers, born Georgia
about 1833/35 in Georgia. Joseph married Comfort in Georgia and apparently emigrated to
Arkansas before 1861. Children include Lizzie (b GA 1857), Felix (b GA 1859), Betsie (b
AR 1861), James (b AR 1862 and my GGgrandfather), Francis (b AR 1865), Julia A (b AR
1867), Dock (b AR 1869), Jasin (b AR 1873). There also may have been a son named Joe,
born 1864 in AR, and a son named Seaborn/ Sebron born AR Nov 1866.
What I know of is:
o Joe (b1864) was married to Lizzie. Children included Ethel, Arthur, Charley, Luther,
and Comfort. In 1920 they were living in Columbia County.
o Felix may have married Abbie ??? in 1893 and with whom he had daughter Ardella and son
Charles William.
o James married Adline Dancer Simons[?] in 1881. Children were as follows, most who
apparently settled in California:
-- Ed who married Etta Malone and had children Pinkie (m Sam Burton) Mollie (m Grady
Summers), David (m Curtie B Patton), Gradie (m Hazel Criner), Roy, and Harvey. Other kids
may have been Lotta Ree and Mae Ree.
-- Richard who married Arris Willis and later moved to Dallas
-- Emma who married John Bell then Elijah Piggee/Best with whom she had Junior,
Robert "Kit," Isaac R, Jessie M, and Adeline
-- James Jr who married Timpsey/Tensee Willis and had Fanny, Volina, Vesta, Theron,
Thurman and one other daughter
-- Ardie (my Ggrandmother) who married John Roberson and had 12 children, including
Scott, Houston, Harrison, Thurston, Addie, Irene, Leland, Lennie, and Elisee
-- John who may have married Callie ??? but was living with his sister Emma in 1920
-- Calep who married Savannah Mixon and had Travis, Otis, Gladys, Willie Mae, Willie
Arthur, Willie James, Gayland, Lonnie, William Otis, and Mabarene
-- Lenora who married Virgie Davis and had son Wesley
-- Arthur "Coot" who married Viree/Vera Brown. Children included Josie
Mae, Annie Mae, Viree, Vera, Rubinelle, David Lee, Hurdis Lee, and Arthur Jr
o Seaborn might have married the sister of Joe Williams, with whom he was living in 1900
in Stamps, Arkansas. A Sarah Chambers born 1875 and a Will Chambers b 1876 also were
living in the neighborhood.
o Julie maried Mack Rines on Mar 31, 1886
Any help would be appreciated.
