The name Edmund caught my eye. In searching for Wm. Chambers, my line, I found the
following. It is much prior to the Civil War period but could give you one more clue.
Fred. Co. is in Virginia, some 30 mi. southwest of Harper's Ferry. I suspect but can
not prove that Wm was the son of John as their land surveys of the 1730s are the same.
Frederick County Will Book I lists the following Chambers:
............ McPherson, Robert, Estate administered by Joel Chambers 13 Feb 1749
page 75 Mary Chambers, executor of Edmund Chambers, dec'd 3 Jun 1746
Witness Thomas Swearengen & John Smith
page 77 Mary Chambers, Administrator, 5 Aug 1746 Inventory of Edmund Chambers
Richard Morgan, Van Swearengen, William Chapline
page 180 John Chambers, John Frost Adm. of will, 8 Jun 1748.
Witnesses: Richard Morgan, Robert Worthington.
I would like the name of the book please. Good luck on your research.
