Jesse Royce Chambless 28 November 1912 - June 1968
Folks I am just tossing this out once again in the hope that someone can
help me to fill in the blanks on Jesse Royce Chambless who died in Salem,
Oregon or while trying to return to that city in June 1968. Jesse Royce
changed the spelling of his surname from that which his father used
(Chambless) to Chambliss on his enlistment papers for the Navy. I have his
birth probably in California of parents born in Texas. I have the he and
his wife Katherine (Wood) Davis were the parents of 2 children a daughter
born before WWII who grew to maturity and a son who died in 1946 at the age
if 2 days.
Somewhere along this search I found that Jesse his wife Katherine and
daughter Martha Ann were living in Salem, Marion County, Oregon where Martha
Ann married Robert William Sherwood of the Hood River, Hood County, Oregon
Sherwood family. I have not been successful in my search for either the
widow Katherine or the daughter Martha Ann (Chambliss) Sherwood.
I am the historian for the Lewis, Wood, Young, Fair, and Smith family of
Westchester County, New York
