Hello
John E. Chambers is my Great Grandfather. He married Adeline Cothran March 2, 1873 and
their son Joseph P. Chambers was my grandfather. Evidently John E. was married more than
once as Joseph had a half brother named Garland. Both John and Garland were buried in the
Chambers family cemetery off Hwy 501 in Person Co. NC. I have pictures of the
gravestones for both of them. The house that Garland lived in is still standing as well
as the store building that John E. Chambers owned and ran and later Garland ran it. There
was controversy in the family over the store. I live about 45 minutes away from the area
where the Chambers family settled when they came to NC in 1751. The Person County
courthouse in Roxboro would have much info to help you as well as the library. I would be
glad to send you a report from my family tree maker, if you like.
