Thanks to everyone who wrote me to help me with my search for my Chambers
ancestor from Virginia and share info. about your Chambers ancestors. I'll
write each one of you individually as you were kind enough to write to me
individually.
As I explained, I don't know the full name of my gggrandfather Chambers from
Virginia, and his wife, Ann Stilly(Stille) Chambers, was a widow on the l850
in Cook County, Illinois census. (Some of the Stilles settled in Louisiana as
did my ggrandmother Elizabeth Chambers Milam, and it may be some of her
Chambers relatives moved to Arkansas, where she met her husband-to-be,
Pleasant Coleman Milam.
I found two submissions to the Mormon Family History Library that gave two
possibilities for the name of my ancestor Chambers who married Ann Stilly.
They were Stephen Chambers, who married Ann Stilly in Gallatin County,
Illinois in l830 and James Chambers who married Elizabeth Ann (last name not
given) in Logan County, Virginia. I was hoping someone might recognize
Stephen or James Chambers as the brother, cousin, uncle, etc. of one of their
Chambers ancestors.
I realize there are several of us up against a brick wall. I wish everybody
luck and send my thanks for your responses.
Bonnie
