I have recently found a cousin (somewhat removed) through my GROSS family
search. We happen to share the same CHAMBERS ancestry. Since we started
sharing family info. I sent him a list of the related women to the GROSS
family. One of these is MARY E. CHAMBERS. I will give you the CHAMBERS family
as I have them in my records. Most of this I received in gedcom form from
Tresa here on the CHAMBERS list. The great part of this story is that he goes
to Cole County, MO where he has access to the library and cemetery records.
Last week he found a marriage record for JULIUS CHAMBERS and SARAH GOUGE along
with marriage records and lists from the cemetery of CHAMBERS. Of course I
told him about this list and asked him to subscribe so he can share with all
of us this info as he finds it. If there are other searchers in this CHAMBERS
line please email me and I'll make copies to send you from his records.
Here's our line:

NEXT - WILLIAM C. CHAMBERS SR. parents are:
WILLIAM CHAMBERS b abt 1860. wife unknown, place unknown (This is the Wm we
thought may have been married to Rachel Stover but the dates don't jive and
the children listed for Rachel Stover/Chambers are not the same names)).
I have 4 children listed born between 1790 and 1809. There are probably other
children, but I don't have them listed:
William C. Chamber Sr. (our line)
Jackson Chambers
Joshua Chambers
Anna Chambers
Beyond this Chambers there is only possible links to an Edmund Chambers who
died in Wilkes Co. NC and then Reynold Chambers born in Scotland, but it's
only speculation.
