Is this the Elihu Chambers that lived in Burke Co. NC, obtained a land grant in what was
then McDowell County which later became part of Haywood Co. I think this was my gggf
brother. According to family history they moved into NC in the middle 1700's from Pa.
Part of the family moved into Ky and then barged down the river to Cades Cove, TN. This
was also family history until I connected via DNA to Blount Co. Tn
Chambers that confirmed his family did exactly that. James, Charles, William, Jesse,
Henry, John, Robert, Leander, are all family names.My ggf's name was James Clifton
Chambers. bGa. 1838 m Sarah Busby, then Lizzie Hannah B1853 Tn.
I believe that Moses Chambers bSC 1798 was also Elihu's brother. The Tn Chambers were
Charles, Lafayette, Alexander and Moses/
The Phillip Chambers line out of Oconee Co. SC also lived in the Cades Cove area. They
moved into Swain Co. NC in 1803 onto Chambers Creek which is now part of Fontane Lake.
I'm not related to this line according to DNA.
Thanks for any info.
