Johathan Chambers b. ca 1803 is the son of Phillip Chambers who is also buried in Carroll
County, Georgia. They are not the decendants of Joseph Chambers of Villa Rica, Georgia.
Joseph's father was James Chambers of Virginia. All these Chambers may very well be
related because they all were in Bumcombe (later Haywood) County N. Carolina before 1800.
Several families of Chambers left there about 1800 and moved west into Tn. and Ky. Joseph
and his family are well documented, moving from Haywood County, to Carroll County, Ga. ca
1834 to work the gold mines in Villa Rica. Joseph married Sarah Moody in Haywood County,
N. C. and Johathan Chambers married Sarah's niece Elizabeth Moody.
