It is my impression Charlotte Chambers who married Robert Holmes is the sister to
Elizabeth Chambers who married Robert's brother Stephen Holmes. All lived in
L'Etete. It seems certain that the Holmes males where the son of Jonathan Holmes
born on Campobello Island, who was the son of Joseph Holmes and Silence Brown of
Scarborough / Machias / Campobello Island.
From my research if I had to make a guess, I think Charlotte is the
sister to Elizabeth and their father is Robert Chambers. But I think in some later census
Robert's wife is a Susan, (Susan might have been a second wife).
Robert Chambers b1804 is the son of William Chambers, UEL, served in the Kings Orange
Regiment during to revolution, William came from either the colony of New York or NJ. His
wife was Joanne no maiden name known. Early probate records show Wm died in 1821, his
wife was Joanne was mentioned in the probate settlement. Also Wm. was on a 1790 Land
Grant for land in St. George Parish.
William and Joanne had two sons that I know off, both born in NB, maybe in St. Georges
Parish, Charlotte County. The known two sons are, Robert (s/o William d.1821) and
William Chambers too.
If you have any news about the Chambers, especially the maiden name of Robert's wife I
would appreciate hearing from you.
Please correct me on any of the above comments!
My best, Pamela
