Message Board Post:
Some of my relatives came out of NC and I'm told they came from Pa. Jesse, William,
John, Raymong, and Robert are all names found in my family. You may want to check Burke
Co, and Rowan Co. NC areas for Chambers in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I
know some of my relatives lived in Burke Co. NC, migrated to Ky and then floated down the
KY and TN rivers into Cades Cove TN. Other went on into other Midwestern states.
I've haven't been able to make the direct connect but according to one of my
cousins who related this story to me, I found out later via a DNA connection that the
story was evidently true. My ggf was born in GA in 1838 and his father was born in SC but
I can't locate him at this time. My earliest relative found was Moses Chambers b abt
1798 in SC. My ggf's children referred to Moses's children as cousins.
Best of luck in your search.
