Message Board Post:
I am searching for information regarding the family of John Thompson and Keziah Chambers
Brady Thompson. Keziah Chambers married first Hugh Brady, grandson of Hugh Brady, pioneer
of the area in and around Shippensburg, PA. She was the daughter of Robert Chambers and
Mary Caldwell Chambers; Robert was one of the four Chambers brothers who settled the same
general area. After Hugh's death in 1794, Keziah traveled with her son Joseph Brady
and her daughter Eliza Brady to visit her daughter Rebecca Brady Van Leer in Nashville (or
Nashborough, as it was known at the time). After Eliza married Col. Wallace Dixon and
Joseph elected to stay in the south, Keziah returned to Westmoreland Co. where she married
John Thompson in 1797. From there, according to family correspondence, she and John
removed to Ohio and had at least 5 daughters: Hadassah, Rhuhamah Chambers, Mary McKibben,
Nancy, and Keziah. There may have been more children, but those are the only known
children to me. !
I am looking for information about their family - birth and death dates, where they
lived, where they may be buried, who the daughters married if they married, etc. I have
not yet been able to find anything on Keziah's "second" family. Any help
would be most appreciated.
