Thanks so much for that information. Now, if I can just find a Chambers family who had a
Josephine Chambers, born ca 1860 AL and living in or near Jackson Co AL, I might get
lucky. Not sure if Josephine was a first or middle name.
I appreciate your help,
Paula

Hi Tom, I’m a Chambers and have my DNA on file with
ancestry.com. I quickly checked how
many Wilson families were related to me from my DNA and found over 600. There were 59
Wilson families born in South Carolina and I did notice one with two Williams born in the
1700’s. A large number were also born in Alabama. While that may not be indicative of
you being kin to the Chambers family, it would certainly be a good clue that you are.
The number of Wilsons is so large that it would take quiet a long time to investigate each
family.

New to the list and wondering if my earlier post regarding a Wilson-Chalmers/Chambers
connection reached the list. My g-aunt, Manerva Wilson, was the d/o William Wilson, born
ca 1800 SC. She was born ca 1847 GA. The William Wilson family is living in Amunchee,
Walker Co GA for the 1850 census. Manerva and the William Wilson family is in Lebanon,
DeKalb Co AL for the 1860 census.
By 1870, Manerva Wilson is married to a David Wendrix/Windrix/Wendrich living in Jackson
Co AL. On the 1870 Jackson Co AL census, William Wilson is living in their home. He is
shown as being b ca 1801 SC. I believe this to be Manerva's father. Also in the home
is a Josephine Chalmers or Chambers, age 10, born AL. The surname is exceptionally faint.
I know of no connection of my Wilson line to the Chalmers/Chambers family and I have no
idea who she might be. Wondering if anyone has a Josephine that might connect to either my
Wilsons or a Wendrix/Windrix/Wendrich family. David Windrix/Wendrix was believed to
be originally from PA.
Thanks for any help.
Paula
