Emma Downing was my great grandmother. She was a sister to Grace Downing,
daughter to Elijah Downing and Josephine Chambers. Josephine was the
daughter of Aaron G. Chambers and Sarah Jane Clark. I collected a lot of census
info on this family several years ago. I would have to look back but I think
the James A. Chambers that is confusing you was Aaron G. Chambers brother.
There were 7 boys in that family. Their parents were Aaron Chambers and
Mary Dowell.
I have also been in contact in the past with a descendant of Hugh
Chambers, brother to Aaron G. Chambers, and stepfather to Elijah Downing. Our
family had a tradition that Elijah's father was killed bear hunting in Kentucky.
Recently, someone posted the actual historical account on a Downing list.
Robert Downing died in a snowstorm hunting, in the winter of 1852-53 and
his body was found a couple seasons later along the Boone River in Northern
Iowa.
I have a picture of Elijah and Josephine Downing with who I think is one
of their sons (12 or 14 years old) and an adult daughter who was not my
great grandmother.
I have found almost every census for that extended family from 1800-1920
or 30. I have to look back and find it, and don't have time for most of
today.
Clark
