Message Board Post:
James Chambers who married Margaret Buchanan Caldwell is a different person than the man
that became a Major. This James Chambers died in Tyrone Township (later spun off as Perry
County, PA) and his will proved in Cumberland County, PA in 1793 lists his four children
including daughters that married into the Pillars in Washington County, Pennsylvania. His
daughter Catherine Chambers married William Cummings Jr. (1772-1850 in Tuscarawas County
OH). An abstract of the will of James Chambers was reprinted in a PA Genealogical Society
Book on Wills in Cumberland County. There is evidence that Margaret Chambers was a sister
to James Buchanan Sr (1761-1821) father to James Buchanan Jr, President of the US.
