I read in one history book that Fishing Creek, the creek which flowed into Chambers'
mill pond was not called that for the fishing! It was called that because it was such a
rough frontier town, that the Chambers were always "fishing" bodies out of the
pond as a result of some of the violence in that town. I'm not surprised they were
tough enough to be "bouncers" on a ship! They would have had to be very tough to
survive the area itself, and old Ben's reputation is legendary... hope to connect with
some of you cousins one day. Still waiting, although here to Wm Coffman: please try my
home e-mail. I can't seem to connect with your response. Thanks! CEllertson(a)aol.com
