The other problem is that William and his son John Chambers were Baptists. John and his
wife Abigail Carlisle Chance Chambers are buried in the West Creek Baptist Cemetery. Their
stones are still quite legible. It is unlikely a Baptist would name his son after the
founder of Methodism.
By the way, the great-grandson of the witness to William Chambers' will, Peter
Bingman, married William Chambers' great-grandaughter. Therefore, both these men are
my 4g-grandfathers.
Later generations of this Chambers clan were Methodists since the Baptist church closed
before Abigail died. Methodism was the only game in town.
