Book titled Lord and Folgeman Familes Chapter 1 page 4, states:
"The Chambers family was of Scotch-Irish ancestry. Some of them migrated to Maine in
the colonial period and possible from there to Pennsylvania (USA Maine 1790 census).
Others of the family emigrated directly from north Ireland to Pennsylvania, two according
to tradition about 1720, and four brothers arriving about 1726 (Theodore Chambers, Early
Germans of New Jersey 9Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co, 1969), pp 290-291; Wayland
F. Dunnaway, The Scotch Irish of Colonial Pennsylvania (Chapel Hill, NC: University of MC
Press, 1844, pp 61-62."
