I also have Chambers from near that area - I am not sure if there is any relationship. My
great, great grandfather Hugh Chambers (b. 1836 in Dundas, Ont.) resided on the northern
edge of Huron County - Ashfield Twp. He is buried at the Pine River United Church
Cemetery. HIs father was a James Chambers b. around 1810 in Northern Ireland. He first
came to the Ancaster area of Ont. and married Elizabeth Wilson in 1833 in Hamilton. They
settled in Guelph Twp. but Hugh married Elizabeth McAree and they moved to the Ashfield
area. I am hoping that there might be a connection - I will keep my fingers crossed
