My ggggf was James A Chambers and my gggf was James Clifton Chambers. Both have given TN
as the their birth on the census at one time but James A was born in SC and JC was born in
Ga. This is something my dad and other relatives have told me: Our family moved from
Chambersburg Pa into NC (specifically Burke Co. NC) and later along with kin from Ga, and
SC along with other families moved into Boonesboro,Ky. Some members stayed in the area
while others moved into TN. My DNA links me with the Moses Chambers and Charles H
Chambers of Blount Co. TN. I also have a Moses Chambers in my line that was b 1797 in SC
and a Benjamin Chambers b1785 in Cumberland County, NC. I believe that Moses was the
brother of James A and that a William Chambers that moved into what is now Pickens Co. SC
may be there father, however I can not prove this directly. Benjamin Chambers moved into
Haywood Co. NC and then into Cherokee Co. NC and died in Murphy, NC. I have some copies
of letters writt!
en to some of his children by James A. and his children. One of Benjamin's children
moved in Cullman ALa. and another is reported to have married a Cherokee Indian. I
haven't worked on this line as I'd rather find my direct line first. I've
noticed that there was a Benjamin Chambers who married an Elizabeth Clifton in Bertie
County, NC in 1875 but can't find this couple past that time.
