You were asking about descendents from the four Irish Chambers brothers who settled in PA
in the early 1700's. I am descended from Robert Chambers and Mary Caldwell Chambers
through their daughter Kesiah Chambers, who married Hugh Brady first, and then secondly
John Thompson. Their daughter, Eliza Brady Dixon, was my 3rd great grandmother. Many of
the family members were military men.
The widow Kesiah moved to Tennessee with her youngest daughter Eliza to live with her
other daughter, Rebecca, who had married Anthony Wayne Van Leer, whose own prestigious
line included Gen. Anthony Wayne, for whom he was named. Eliza met and married Col.
Wallace Dixon while in Nashville with her sister; Kesiah met John Thompson, went back to
PA and married him in 1797, and from there moved to Ohio and had another family of which I
have recorded 5 known daughters. At that point, I have not been able to make any
connections, so any help you or anyone else in the family could give me would be
wonderful.
I would like to hear from you. You can contact me through ancestry. Also, since I just
saw your message on the board, I would like to obtain a copy of your book if it is
published, or have my line included if it has not.
Thank you!
