I have Isabella CHAMBERS, born in County Fermenagh (sp?), Ireland - about 1802 -
came to U.S. @ NY in Sept 1841 via Liverpool, England. She came with 5
children, but the oldest son, John W. born 1826 & her husband were not on the
ship. We believe her husband most likely was named William and that he came over
a few months to a year earlier with his eldest son John. Then I believe the
father died in Pittsburgh, PA within 3 weeks of arrival to the U.S. - probably in
early 1841. Isabella went on to Knox Co, OH where she lived, raised her
children and died. All of their children were born in Ireland according to the
1850 census where she is shown living in Knox Co, North of Mt. Vernon, OH with
all her children except the eldest daughter, Mary Matilda who married in 1848 to
George GIBBS. The eldest son, John W. was living next door to Isabella in
1850. Other children all with Isabella then were: Eliza 1830, Ann 1833, James
1835 & Robert Henry 1839. John W. later moved to VanWert Co., OH and Mary
Matilda moved to Washington Co, Indiana.
I'm trying to find out about this family in Ireland before 1841 - and would most
like to establish the definite name of Isabella's husband. (the first born
sons of both of Isabella's 2 oldest children were named William - but that is the
only reason for our suspicion of their grandfather's name).
