Message Board Post:
I'm interested in the Chambers family, partly due their importance in the history of
Thurston and Yakima Counties and partly because a cousin of mine, America McAllister,
married Thomas Jackson Chambers in 1851, right here in Thurston County, Washington.
I've been working on developing a genealogy containing everything I can find on the
families that descend from Thomas McCutcheon Chambers and Letitia Delzell. It's been
challenging because, as has been mentioned, there are so many of them. It doesn't help
that Chambers is a pretty common surname. So, far, I've got very little on Mary Jane
(Chambers) Dougherty (but I'm about to dive in and see what I can find). I would also
like to know the specifics of Letitia Delzell's being a cousin of Andrew Jackson. It
could very well be true but, unfortunately, relationships to powerful and famous people
seem to get made up and take on a life of their own.
