While looking for my Zephaniah Harvey Woodall in 1860 Tishomingo Co MS, I found
a Mary Chambers, age 60 born ca 1800 SC which appears to be listed with Zeph's
family. However, it seems as if there is some kind of error in the separation of
families living in HH#2568. Probably should be 2 separate families. It looks
like a Hubbard family in 1860 Tishomingo Co, MS should be in another household
but they all appear to be in the Woodall home. As I've been trying to track down
a Josephine Chambers born 1860 AL in connection to my Wilson-Woodall family, I
decided to try and find this Mary Chambers in an 1850 census and I think I found
her in Scott Co MS in 1850, but born in NC, in the home of a William & Susan
Irby. A couple of doors down from William & Susan Irby was the John Chambers
family (ca 1808 TN) with wife Sarah and several children. Then 2 doors down from
there was the Silas Chambers & Sarah Chambers family with several children.
These two families had a few children with the same names, just different birth
dates so figured they must be kin. Asa, William & Christian were three of the
names of children in both families. But the one that really caught my eye was
what appeared to be a Wilson or Wilsan Chambers, born 1838 AL.
I've been trying to find the family of a Josephine Chambers, age 10 born ca 1860
AL. She was living in the Jackson Co AL home of David Wenrick/Windrix/Wendrich??
and wife, Manerva/Minerva Wilson. Minerva's father, William Wilson, is also in
this home, age 68 born ca 1802 SC. Wondering if there could be a connection
between this Josephine Chambers and the Wilson surname, especially since there
appears to be a Wilson? Chambers, shown in the home of the above John Chambers.
Wondering if this Josephine Chambers could perhaps be a grandaughter to the
above William Wilson? William had 6 daughters with unknown husbands......could
one of them have married into the Chambers line?
William Wilson & wife, Sarah were both supposedly from SC. They appeared on the
1850 Walker Co GA census and the 1860 DeKalb Co AL census.
Hope someone can help.
