Hello,
I am looking for information on John S. Chambers, born in NJ to Daniel
Chambers and ?. Daniel and his family moved to Huntingdon Co., PA about
1818. John S. Chambers moved back to NJ when he was older. I have found a
John S. in the census index for 1830-Hunterdon Co., NJ- Trenton City and for
1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870 in Mercer Co.,NJ- Trenton City but with different
ward numbers for the individual years.
Daniel was born 1763 to 1773 in NJ. He had a brother William born 1775
and a brother Stephen born 1790 that we know of so far. May have been others.
Daniel"s, William's and Stephen's father has been given as Stephen
Chambers who enlisted with LaFayette in France and came to serve in the Rev
War with him. He supposedly took land ion NJ for pay.
John S. Chambers had six brothers (George, Daniel, Lewis, Job Stephen,
Isaac, and James Hay) and seven sisters (Phoebe, Sarah, Nancy, Mary, Carilla,
and 2 that died young). Any information on this family would be greatly
appreciated. TIA
Beverly
