Hello Fellow Searchers,
I'm currently researching Chambers in Missouri, specifically the Civil
War era. My line of Chambers served on both sides. I copied all CHAMBERS
that were on file, hopefully some of these can be of help to someone else.
The following all served in the Confederate Army, with one exception, who
served in the "Yankee" Army. These names were gathered at the Missouri
Records Center, Jefferson City, Mo.
This comes from RG133, Office of the Adjutant General, Jefferson City, Mo.;
