Notes for David Chambers:
From Portraits and Biographical Album of Greene and Clarke Cos. Ohio:
The father of our subject was William Chambers, who was born in Ireland near
the coast, and was the son of David Chambers, also a native of that country.
Grandfather Chambers emigrated to America with his family at an early date,
and located in Virginia, where he spent the remaining years of his life. His
wife, Eliza, a native of Scotland, removed, after the death of her husband,
to Ohio, and died there in the faith of the Presbyterian Church. Their son
William, the father of our subject, was about twelve years old when his
parents came to the United States. He accompanied his mother to this state,
and they settled on a rented farm in Montgomery County. When reaching man's
estate he purchased one hundred acres of land from which he opened up a good
farm, that which is now occupied by his son Robert. He was a teamster in the
army during the War of 1812. Later he resumed farming, and died in 1848, at
the age of sixty years. Politically he was a sound Democrat.
