Now that I know that Hannah Chambers was the dau. of Ephraim and Rachel, can
someone help me find Ephraim and Rachel's parents? Proof is from the
following:
Centennial History of the Town of Drlyden 1797-1897", compiled by Geo. W.
Goodrich, Lyman Cobb- born in 18oo in Canaan, Conn (now call Lenox, Ma. Moved
with his father to Berkshire, NY (Tioga County) and taught school in
Slatervillle ( Caroline and Slaterville intermix).Published books in Ithaca,
NY (12 miles West of me in Dryden). The covers were made of thin boards,
covered with blue paper. He then moved to the Town of Dryden and published
his first spelling book, published by Mack & Andrus. He had a sister, Mrs.
Thomas Davis who lived in Dryden from 1840 until her death in 1860.
Lyman was married to Hannah Chambers, daughter of Ephraim Chambers, who lived
on the Dan Rice farm in Ellis Hollow ( which is south west of Dryden and east
of Ithaca.
