Dear Theresa:
I'm interested in your James Chambers, born in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
I am interested also in any Chambers from Virginia. My ggrandmother,
Elizabeth Chambers Milam, indicated on the federal census her father was from
Virginia. He married her mother, Ann Stille Chambers and they moved to Cook
County, Illinois. I am at a loss finding his name and identity. I don't
know how he wound up in Illinois. Did your James Chambers have brothers who
might have migrated to Illinois? Or cousins?
Ann Stille Chambers was from New Jersey according to the federal census. I
don't know if her family migrated to Virginia and that's how she met Mr.
Chambers or vice versa. The Stilles are as hard to trace as the Chambers
family are. Any ideas you can pass along to me would be very welcome.
