Like Sherry Hunt in TN, I have also hit a brickwall
concerning my gggrandfather Chambers and his
parents.
My Chambers ancestor was Joseph Chambers, born
18 Aug 1786, married 3 Dec 1807 to Rachel Ward
(dau. of Jonathan Ward, of Albany Co NY) Joseph
Chambers died 22 Mar 1849. Bible records and
family records did not give places of events.
Joseph and Rachel Chambers census information:
Genesee Co, NY at Bergen, 1820 census
Genesee Co, NY at Batavia, 1830 census
Ashtabula Co, OH at Harpersfield 1840 census
Joseph died before 1850 census, and I believe that
Rachel was in Trumbell Co. OH (next to Ashtabula
Co) when 1850 census was taken. That census is
being ordered.
Joseph and Rachel's children were:
John b. 1808, Henry b. 1810, David b. 1812, Nancy
b. 1814, *Jesse b. 1816, Calvin F. b. 1818, Lucinda
b. 1821, Samuel P. b. 1824, Rachel Louise b. 1827,
Phebejane b. 1829, Mary Ann b. 1832.
*Jesse Chambers was my ancestor. He married 9 Aug
1842 in Monroe, Ashtabula Co OH to Debby Ann
Stevens. Jesse Chambers died 27 Jan 1863 at Nora,
Jo Daviess Co. IL
Does anyone have information on this Joseph Chambers
family?
