For Warenne: Thanks for inquiring of this site -- I am personally not
an "expert" on Chamblees and Chamlees (my spelling) but most of us got
our "Chamblee information" from the published material of Ethel Speer
Updike entitled "The Chamblee Family of North Carolina and South
Carolina." That work shows Zadoc Chamblee born circa 1771 of Anderson
Co., SC and he married Lucy Sloan. Among their issue was Elizabeth born
1820 who married Matthew Snipes. Since we had nothing else to go on at
that time, that is the way it was reported. Others have done more
first-hand research in Anderson/environs than I have. I will type for
you what this paper says:
"Elizabeth Chamblee b 1820 (?) Anderson Co SC married Matthew Snipes b 1
Jan 1804 Anderson Co d 21 Sept 1885, buried Mountain Creek Baptist
Church Cemetery. He was one of the administrators Dec 5 1831 for the
Estate of Zadoc Chamblee, deceased. Also a legatee. Ref. Anderson Co
Estate File Box 4, #127. Federal Census 1850 Anderson Co SC p. 204;
1860 p. 29,; 1870 p. 11. NOTE: We think Matthew Snipes was married to
Elizabeth Chamblee first; and married to Elizabeth McCown second."
Mrs. Updike shows the children of Elizabeth and Matthew to be:
Elisha
Leon
Lewis
Matthew
Thompson
Jane
James P.
Baylis Crayton
Amanda
L. Florence
Julia (the note on this entry says she belongs to another Snipes)
I personally have not researched this family line and certainly any
corrective data is most welcome! I have been to the Chamblee Reunion at
Mountain Creek Baptist Church and visited the adjacent cemetery, as well
as Silverbrook Cemetery.
